Yes
I used PF. Light is regulated (at least when stock), so cells does not matter. Measured at 10m. I may be off by 0-7cm from time to time.
Some of you guys (who often share numbers) are always high compared to most others and manufacturers that use ANSI. And on the few cases when I check numbers from other forums, they are lower. I mean, measuring 1200 lumen OTF in a TK61 driven at 2,9-3A that several does here. Im not sure that is possible. Usually I try to be conservative, or what I consider correct. But that means it would seem like the mods I were doing seems bad in comparison to others, so Im working on a balance.
Oh well, the important thing is know where everyone is when it comes to numbers. In general its not that wise to compare one person numbers against another persons.
[quote=bibihang] Thank you RaceR86. So you are saying that the TK61 produces 267kcd driven at 4.7A, while K50 driven with 5A produces _only_ 187kcd, so much difference? [/quote]
Yeah. Actually, it was 4,8A the last time I measured it. Too many numbers in my head. Not really a surprise. K50 barely beats TK61 stock in terms of kcd and its driven much harder. Numbers by selfbuilt verifies that too.
Stock TK61 is driven to about 2,9-3. K50 is driven to 4,9-5A. So when you push the TK61 harder, ofcouse it will beat the K50 in terms of kcd.
TK61 have a considerably thrower beam compared to K50. Which is due to the wider reflector. About 80mm inside vs 73mm on the K50. That makes a difference. Depth is very similar.
I cant really tell. They both look good to me.
Thanks Dale. If you or anyone ever needs larger pictures, let me know. Way easier to see components there compared to the tiny highly compressed pictures I upload.
Nothing to be confused of. See my answer to bibihang. Once you have them both in front of you, you will notice that the extra reflector width makes a difference. Physically and in terms of throw.
On a sidenote. Saw one of your comments in another thread. Fenix makes very good reflectors. Its just that the old-school copper crazed guys from Texas are not able to understand that plastic reflectors can be well made and work great. :D Btw, TK75 also uses plastic reflector. Its not a design fault, or money saving thing. Most people in the industry of hand held devices, cars, or whatever will always take lightweight as long as you do not loose out on performance. Obviously, it works very well in the TK61 and TK75. No chance of shorting the emitter wires either.
Ill leave your other questions to Tom E (seems they were focused towards him as well.) I started the teardown right after opening it up and doing the measurements. :D
