I used a bench supply set to 4.00V, it can supply up to 30A. I held the leads from the power supply onto the driver contact rings with one hand and worked the button with the other one. My supply has a built in current meter, but you could use an external meter.
I seriously doubt that my sphere is off… the driver current measurements back up my lumen numbers rather well.
Wow! This light is tiny! :bigsmile:
I just compare her with my TN30. Looks like she will out throw and out flood TN30 inside a small room. And she is much smaller than TN30 without the handle.
The finishing is amazing! No regret for me for not getting TK75.
Like I said earlier, one will not be disappointed by the beam of this light!
JohnnyMac: I think you need to reduce the size of your pic…
Dengoh: Are you getting the TM11 holster? It’s a perfect fit!
Ya, I have ordered it. Thanks.
I was thinking should I spend money on holster, what if the light is not really worth the protection. Now I am so glad I ordered it yesterday.
It’s one of my best lights. When my TK75 arrives (?)I will do a visual assessment of the beam quality. I can’t take beamshot pics worth a darn.
I’ve resized it. Posted it originally from my phone real quick. 
Did you have any issues when using the longer than usual 3400 protected raised top cell? I have many eagletac 3400 which dont fit in my Tm11. Just wanted to make sure they work in the terminator… Btw my first post but been lurking around for quite a while since the changes in cpf. 
Hi will34. I cant answer your question but welcome to the mad house.
Not bothering if that’s all it will do. It’s rather annoying that they’ve claimed 3500 ANSI lumens when it’s this far off. I know the 3500 was a stretch but with the TN31 doing over 1000 it was remotely possible?
If we’re going to have to not believe these Chinese ANSI rated lights and they’re willing to lie about that, then I think we should not buy from that manufacturer until they get the message- don’t rip us off by using legit means of measure to validate a light when you know it’s false!
If you look at the paper in the box, it states 4000 lumens.
Temperature rise very fast indicating good thermal path from LED to outside, I think she is driven hard enough. It might be possible to get 3500 or 4000 lumens when ambient temperature is very low. I am not sure.
Wow, this is an interesting thread for sure……
I hope texaspyro gets a new copy and will test it right away in his Sphere O` Many Mysteries.
I’m looking forward to the ongoing discussion.
Welcome to the family, Will!
I can't say for sure about the protected 3400 cells but my Trustfire protected 3000mA flames fit just fine.
Nice!! I like the handle, lockout feature negates parasitic drain and accidental turn-on. The low-lumen switch boot is a really cool feature too. Looks like a nice step up from the Apex 5T6 which I have been happily using over the past year or so. Very close to the nighteye 40 for a lot less dough.
Why is it taking so long for a review of this torch? Don’t multiple people own it now??
I’d like to see a comparison between the Terminator and the Roche M170. I’m torn between the two.
You guys finally broke me! Ordered one from Goinggear. My holiday really sucked, so I need a morale boost right now…

Shite! I just read that Black Shadow is producing a XM-L U3 version (Tint 1C) on December 31!
Do you think the difference is noticeable?
BTW, here’s a recent detailed review.
I have been holding off from posting my review because BS is sending a U3 1C example to test…
