Thanks Dale and Will34, I’m newbie with that 
Those high drain cannot come with protection circuit?
I bought those too: http://www.banggood.com/4PCS-3_7V-2600mah-Button-Top-Protected-18650-Lithium-Battery-For-Samsung-p-913785.html
How many amps those can push?
Wow very unexpected, but nice find Dale. I really hope you are able to wire up that 30q.
And if you do, who knows…we may possibly see 3300 lumens!
I’m actually surprised you purchased this light in the first place. What made you want it?
Would have thought u go klarus g20 or olight r50 route or acebeam ec50 version 2 ?
WOW
nice find Dale!
The stock output are already exceeded 3300 lumens though around 3500, check mhanlen’s review.
I can vouch for his accuracy, as i also have this light and have proper means for estimation.
I look forward to putting the TM03 in the lightbox with the stock specialized cell and hopefully a Samsung 30Q variant, will be interesting to see if there’s an output difference. My TM03 is on the way…
im really hoping the 30q works, and that it pushes the power for the strobe mode because it is waaaay under performing right now in stock form.
Not sure how you can take that stance, it far exceeds what any other 6V emitter does on a single cell.
But yeah, my goal is to see what can be done to push it. lol I don’t know where I got that idea, I mean, who’d do such a thing?
<—- walks away whistling
i was only referring to strobe mode. i think i measured no more than 1000 lumens.
but yea , on turbo mode, this light kicks ass at over 3000 lumens.
i was really hoping that the strobe mode would also be 3000 lumens, which would have made it nice for a self defense situation, i was pretty dissapointed about that.
I would imagine that the Boost driver has spikes that would end up frying the emitter if used in full power on strobe. Something like that, anyway.
I am curious, as well.
PM with the price, please?
same here ,pm me price pls.
Yeah, I’d take one for free too!
Sounds like a nice powerful light, but the proprietary battery required for full functionality makes it much less desirable considering the $100 buy in. Clearly it’s not for me. What a shame they couldn’t make it work 100% with regular 18650s.
Who got one for free?
The people that get a light at no charge to do a review certainly have to work for it, a good review is a time consuming and painstaking ordeal that can take several days to complete, and then there’s the plethora of questions that arise and usually more measurements and such. Might seem free, but it’s a fairly expensive free!
The strobe mode uses random frequencies alternating. When it’s on high frequency it looks like it outputs a 1000 lumens. But when it’s blasting on low frequency it clearly puts out a whole lot more than 1000. My thinking is that maybe that’s the way this light’s emitter works. It needs time to reach higher lumens which a higher frequency prevented it.
There was a gent at the bottom of the first page who stated that he’d take one for free (from Uruguay?). I seemingly turned around and another page filled up before I could post. (Maybe I didn’t refresh my page? I dunno.)
Please don’t jump to conclusions when reading what I’ve written. I’m perfectly capable of insulting folks openly and so that there is no doubt to my intent when I have a mind to do so. 
That’s a very rare occurrence and I never fire the first shot.
Brian, wasn’t implying that you insulted anyone, just didn’t see where anyone got a review sample. And yes, we’re aware of how insulting you can be. 
(relax! Just messin with ya! lol) [some of the newer folks don’t realize what goes into a review, which is why I said what I said up above.]
blueb8llz, I like the style of it and the fact they have managed a new threshold in the boost game. Until this one, the boost circuits were keeping outputs low, for some reason this one piqued my interest, in no small part the style of the dual switch mechanism on the tail cap. Had to see what that was all about. And I like deep reflectors. Drawn to em, not exactly sure why. Solarforce Skyline I kinda started it, the Barracuda in more recent times, and now this one. (My Skyline I now has an MT-G2, pretty sweet, opposite end of the spectrum from where this light started out. 
)
I might end up using an LD-2 or Zener modifed FET driver with 2 18350 cells in this TM03 just for the fun of it, who knows. Slice and dice perhaps? Depends on how well it works in hand and if I stay impressed with it.
First I’ll try to put the circuitry on a 30Q and see how that works out. Then, if it doesn’t make sufficient gains, I’ll try to adapt the light to run on a standard cell without the circuit panel. From there, might just change everything inside. I tend to wing it and so things just happen as they happen. (It might prove to be a really cool MT-G2 light. )
We’re still friends Dale. No harm done and no umbrage taken.
My light meter tells me that it’s doin roughly 1000 lumens on strobe. And I have several xpg2 and xml2 lights that does around 1200-1700 lumens, and those lights have a brighter strobe than my tm03. And this is not by eye, but by my light meter
Sounds like you have a pretty detailed plan on the works of this light. But I think it would be fairly difficult to still have the access to instant strobe with a new driver. I think a dedomed xhp 70 might be another option to add to the mix? Or even a xhp 35 HI…. Since you were able to achieve 3000 lumens.
The light has a deep reflector, but the light does not really seem to throw all to well considering how bright it is due to the op reflector.
