Folks, these are not lights that are sub par in any way, all are like new and really making the proton’s jump! These are favorites of mine and I don’t WANT to get rid of any of em, to be straight up about it. Each of these are stupendous lights, as you’ll see below. BUT, each of these came from another forum member, either given to me as appreciation for other work done or sold to me as a special deal. So they go back into the community they came from.
Some preliminary info.
The SupBeam K40 that’s Vinh modified is running like this on 3x Panasonic PD cells, fresh off the charger.
0.7245 lumens
22.94
535.1
1132
1507.65
1656
377.75Kcd for 1229.23M throw
Pro’s
- Throw distance
- Runtime
- Battery carrier is reversible, doesn’t matter which direction it’s installed
- Lock-out in tail cap
Con’s
- De-domed XM-L2 tint shift
- High and Turbo too close together, result of bumping output
- Not sure I like a magnetic ring for mode selection
The Nitecore TM16 is pulling these numbers from 4 LG HE-4 cells, again fresh off the charger…
5.175 lumens
326.37
741.75
2007.9
4640.25
121.5Kcd for 697.14M throw
Pro’s
- Output!
- Tint
- UI
- Build Quality
- Design Style
- Anodization
- Battery installation and tail cap, Nitecore style, pretty nice
- Beam profile is surprisingly tight

*Enough parasitic drain to be bothersome if the light isn’t used much
*Doesn’t make coffee in the morning, but can keep it warm
*I Really Really Really like this light and am not sure why I listed it in this giveaway to be honest. (almost pulled it when doing testing, reminded of how much I like it) The other lights are far better, pick one of those. 
The Fenix TK75 is putting out numbers like this, with 3 Samsung 20R cells fresh off the charger at 4.22V
41.78 lumens
700.35
1863
4326.30 (I know, right? :D)
145.75Kcd for 763.54M throw.
Pro’s
- Fenix build
- Style
- Bumped output is ginormous
- Tight beam, excellent throw from a triple
- Battery carrier quality
- Second battery tube/carrier can be added for additional run time
Con’s
- Fenix electronic switches can be finicky, operation is not consistently regular like most e-switches. This shows if in a hurry for the most part.
- Proprietary mcpcb (triangle)
- Plastic reflector (proprietary, base matches triangular mcpcb)
- This one won’t make coffee either, dangit!
*This is an awesome large head triple, it was groundbreaking when introduced and still holds it’s own against pretty much anything out there, including the Quad TM16. The stock driver didn’t push it hard enough, but that’s been addressed. I would have had HI’s in it by now but for that triangular base reflector. Could probably still do it, but it’s pretty dang sweet just like it is now. HI’s would increase throw considerably, might lose some output. De-doming would certainly lose the nice white tint. Mixed bag.
And for chits and grins, the DQG Tiny 26650 makes 6-1632 lumens with 9Kcd for 189.74M throw.

Thanks for the giveaway!
