Can't be low current, the cells are at 4.15V and are Sanyo 2600 unprotected (better current delivery than the XTAR 2600s). I have Panasonic 3100 unpro, don't think it will make any diff. Besides it is 2 cells and in series.
I can't do any current measurements. The stuff is non-magnetic also, so no magnets.
45 seconds - 58.2 lux. 5 mins mark - 57.7 lux. 9 mins mark 57.4. 2.4% drop after 9 mins at 29 deg C ambient zero windspeed. Very very little drop in output, stunning performance. Most probably driven to low 2A mark. No issue doing 1hr in highest.
Put it this way, it is 20% down in output as compared to the UF-980L in a reflected ceiling bounce with the 980L driven to way past 3A. You'd be hard pressed to notice that in real life.
Now pull in the DRY CW in Turbo, now we are talking.
Depends on your budget, whether you are affected by PWM and thirst for HA? For me I just might use this light very often due to the good ergonomics and pretty light weight (don't care about the looks), still pocketable. And because it's going to be in the pocket/banged around, after 6 months HA or no HA it's going to be about the same in looks aka used look. The HA is not Surefire or Elzetta/Malkoff, those will last much better.
The only thing that is going to still look perfect in really hard use needs to be like tegimented steel for eg on Sinn timepieces. (~ 1500 vickers)
One thing to remember, with quite a few TK35s, there is greenish yellow tint on the lowest mode. My Jetbeam RRT-2 XM-L displays that as well. TK70 is
This clone, absolutely none in low. Beautiful tint. Shame on the PWM, if it were 500Hz like the Ultrafire U-80 it would have been great. If its 1.7kHz like the UF-2100 then it'd have been perfect.
Is the genuine battery carrier for the fenix tk35 available for sale? If so, tk35 clone + fenix battery carrier = less than fenix tk35?
You could end up with a nice tint tk35 clone with decent driver if the batt carrier is reasonable money.
