people who dont own the light will just say im full of bs but the TR-1200 will throw and has good spill, on the same night i tested the Jetbeam BC40 i got 250 meters (273 yards) if you dont belive me this known seller claimes 300 yards (274 meters) here is the video
i belive my conditions where more clear then in his video but i claim less usible range and the TR-1200 will out throw the Jetbeam BC40 but i used the same measuring methods to test both and the on the same night we tested TF C8 XM-L, KD C8 XM-L, TR-1200, UF-2100 XM-L, USA168, Jetbeam BC40 and the TR-3T6 3 x XM-l
the torch with the most throw on the night was the TR-1200 and the TR-1200 has a constant current driver and is driven in the same way as the TR-3T6 so its got a good driver and can be used for long runs.
Well this photo I took regardless of who want to study shutter speed is just about how damn bright this light is. And this was only 2 18650 batteries. I believe the 3 18650 is a little brighter at least to my eyes, but maybe it isn't. That last street sign is about 250yds roughly. Now if that ain't throw I don't know what is. I'll take this light and put it up against a lot of $100 lights and probably even beat a lot of them for throw.
And here's another one you take your pick which one you like the best.
And here's one I just went and took at 110yds at my neighbors pool and deck. Now that is pretty close to what I see with my eyes. This is with the extra entension tube and 3 18650 batteries. And it is pitch black tonite.
ilikeflashlights people still will not belive us they will just pick holes in our post and make comments about a torch they dont own, even though there is 3 difrent people saying this torch will do 300 meters or more.
That last telephone pole to the left of the pool is probably well over 200yds. And if you notice I don't even have the main part of the beam on it. This light sucks. LOL!
I'll add I just went and shined my Keygos 6X Q5 led at my neighbors pool and it lights it up even more. I have stated in the past that the TR-1200 throws better than my Keygos 6 led light, but it would be close. The beam is definately smaller on the TR-1200. But the Keygos appears to be brighter.
yeppers my cheap 34 buck TR-1200 torch with cheap 10 buck batteries will throw with the best of them the TR-1200 will come close to the throw my car head lights but not enough spill to drive comfortable with the lights off at speed, my car's high beams are 55 watt + 100 watt left and 55 watt + 60 watt right we drive on the left and we have kangaroo,s so good night lights are needed where i live out in the sticks.
This just in. On the the TR-1200, I just checked my tailcap reading and on 2 18700 2600MAH batteries it is 2.02 amps. With 3 Xtar batteries it is 1.204 amps.
I will re-check my TR1200 tonight, I did not measure it but I think it did not throw as much as yours, mine as far as I remember is 2A on tailcap with two batteries ( some about .8A to each led).
So, I will compare it tonight with my Yezl T9 and Trustfire X9 which are my two best throwers.
Well I will rephrase. Since I reread what you typed.
I honestly think the Keygos is a brighter light. It should be since it has 1 more led. But I also think since the Trustfire has a more concentrated beam is what makes it a tad better thrower at farther distances. But again I may be wrong.
