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
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.
That's what I'm getting a little hung up on. With an XML2 in there, this light should be in at least the 110-120cd range, the original XML tn31 was, and this is basically a clone.
Same here. I bought mine directly from Supbeam. It’s definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made. The K40 is beautifully made; the anodizing, machining, fit and finish are all second-to-none.
The magnetic-ring thingy is super-friendly in use, together with the tailswitch. A really well thought out product
