It's a great thrower, but there is poor chance it can beat XR-E with apheric. Tiablo apheric or DBS aspheric were in the 70K-80K lux/1m range (with R2 bin). What I'm sure, is that the beam from 7G5 is much more useful :).
As for outdoor beamshots, I'll try to make them tommorow evening. But no promise... Too many stuff on my head, lately.
Well I am counting on you buddy. This will help me make up my mind if I want this light over the Sunwayman T40CS. I'm still leaning toward getting the Sunwayman anyway because it looks cool to me. And it's got a big wide reflctor on it.
Man, I am jealous. I really "need" a V3. Quite simply; it seems like it's just a superb flashlight and it's what a high-end/high performance light should look like.
Still, I would think they're discontinuing the 7G3 since it's been discounted for a while now. I know it definitely used to be sold for more than $75 in the USA.
i prefer v3 due to it's design and finishing wise. V3 body is made from thick aluminium (this could be the thickest flashlight body that i have so far)
I thought Andy can do it at that price...just got a quote from him yesterday.
Pls don't check out those prices listed at CPF/CPFM. Most are pretty high and some are daylight robbery at 30% higher even after coupon discounts (esp Fenix). But pls don't tell them that i said it, coz they will say customer support lah....service, courtesy lah.
For me just send it out within 2 days, i receive it in due time (6-12 working days for HK - SIN), can return if there are issues......competitive price (no need to be absolutely cheapest quote), answer emails and don't have to be perfect English. A-OK! And of coz don't mess up my order....so far all my stuff don't DOA.
So from the info that we have thus far, which would you guys reckon between the Sunwayman T40CS and this light throws better...? I'm itching to buy a thrower just need to decide which one.
