[GB-Closed!] Supbeam k40-l2 (Payment details in 2nd post!)

Thanks FP for the link. Looks like a good thrower. Is it worth ~ $100 retail? What’s she normally cost?

Edit: you guys talk/type too fast…lol.

the l3 k40 with xml is about $120. its just a rebranded supbeam

No beam shots, but I’m very impressed with the light. In fact, even my wife was impressed when we took it for a walk with the dogs one night. A few profanities were uttered at the sheer throw of the thing. :slight_smile: It’s really well built. Very useful for spotting badgers (the first live one I’ve ever seen). The dogs were impressed too. :stuck_out_tongue:

I paid $90 shipped if I recall, and it comes with a Thrunite aluminium case, which is a waste, imho, as it also has an OK holster. I had very good communications with Supbeam (I bought it direct).

I’m puzzled by the lumens though - looks like a simple 20% increase in the XM-L version - calculated, not measured, I reckon.

Thanks Woody….now off to resisting I go. :smiley:

man i just joined for about a week and i think i’m going bankrupt soon with all these gbs lol

I’m in if the deal can.

yeah it probably is just calculated. I will find out what bin LED it is.

a couple members last week recommended i try for this light for the next one. they had quoted something like $96 shipped for 50 pieces. so i said thanks but no thanks basically.

they contacted me last night and wanted to do something, this was the best i could work out. i was shooting for a bit less, but they would not budge from this price

Can you ask them how hard the LED is driven on max also?

give me a min, i had seen how hard it was driven somewhere

I’m pretty sure it will be 3.5A.

Too expensive for me, I have no need for this…

[Here’s](SupBeam K40 - thrower ( XM-L U2, 3x18650 ) Review | Candle Power Flashlight Forum a good review with beamshots. (CPF)

I seriously need a break.

its in german, but he paid about $109 for the light

I'm on the fence about this one... interested, but I already have similar ones.

I think that I need this light :slight_smile:

I’m in for one!!!

can you put me down as a maybe?

I used to have the original Supbeam K40 when it came out. It is a very nice light. Very well-built, high-quality manufacturing. It has the same UI with the TN30/31s, which is a very user-friendly feature, but it has none of the reported flickering concerns. From its battery-carrier to the rotary magnetic ring, it rocks. And it has a very low mode (.6 lumen) for those who prefer it.
Its factory lux rating of 95,600cd is IMO even lower than it can actually throw. Recommended.

I wonder how this would compare to the ThruNite TN31?

thats the xml not xml2 though

Not much difference. You may check ILF’s previous beamshot comparisons between it and the L3 K40 (the same light).
