I’ve been eyeballing this light for a bit. Looks like a solid light with exceptional beam profile and overall performance. Anyone have one? Can you tell me about it?
Are you probably talking about the latest model with LED XHP70 and 3200 lumens ?
It looks like a good monster (very flood beam)
I have a copy of 2012 with XM-L LED (900 lumens) and then the 2013/2014 one with MT-G2 LED (1800 lumens) with neutral tint.
They are solid lights that can withstand heat well (at least the old versions) and with good autonomy.
If weight and size are not a problem for you, the TK35 is definitely a good choice.
Disappointment on my part that not all versions have a neutral tint.
If you want the neutral tint, I inform you that there is also a version (not UE) with led XHP35 HI neutral white (1300 lumens 57000 cd)
Size/weight no prob, I prefer medium lights . Thank you :)— Any similar light that you like?
Today there are many lights on the market and it is difficult to advise.
A light that I would have liked to buy (and I haven’t done yet) is Acebeam L30
It is available 5000 K and 6000 K and this one also has an XHP70 led
It has a single 21700 battery but it seems to me that with a supplied adapter it can use the 18650.
It could be an alternative.
What are your needs?
I’m after a well built light with a good usable spill and not too tight a hot spot. Looks like the TK 35 UE fits the bill. BTW, yes the 3200lm version
If you are looking for a wide beam I suggest you also see Acebeam EC50 and Thrunite TC20.
Both are XHP70 like the TK35 UE
Both are also available in a color of 5000 K and are supplied with battery and USB charging
They have a high power but they can be exploited to the maximum for a little (heat problems) but at the lower level (1800 lumens) they can be a bit without problems.
The TK35UE is slightly larger but these two lights can disappear in your pocket.
I have been away from the lights for almost a year, I may not know of alternative lights, other users will certainly be able to suggest other models.
Thanks bro
This one has been used hard for years and its never missed a beat. It's got the MT-G2, and has a beautiful tint. I would highly recommend one of these.
It's definitely rugged and waterproof, it's seen many mud puddles and been used in some downpours
without issue.
It usually is in the toolbox of my tractor, banging around. But ,as I said, it always works when I need it.
I’ve got the TK35 XM-L and the TK35 UE, both have some parasitic drain so I store them without batteries. Both run on protected NCR18650GA’s and are bright with nice run times. Both tail stand and a fine addition to the tools box. Beam profile are without artifacts. They grip very well almost like a fine pistol. Slight tail flare give a positive grip.
Good to know
Have a look at the Zebralight SC700d; beam profile is nicely balanced between throw and flood; high CRI emitter is great outdoors; UI is programmable, so you can set the click/hold/double-click to achieve whatever outcome you want; very low moonlight setting; doesn’t get hot yet maintains high settings for a long time; all in a compact, light, well-constructed package, with a deeply recessed switch - firm, clear click - that is very easy to find. Definitely a favorite, go-to light.
MT-G2 FTW. Best tint.
