give me a min, i had seen how hard it was driven somewhere
I’m pretty sure it will be 3.5A.
Too expensive for me, I have no need for this…
[Here’s](http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?347069-SupBeam-K40-thrower-(-XM-L-U2-3x18650) a good review with beamshots. (CPF)
I seriously need a break.
http://www.taschenlampen-forum.de/supbeam/24295-review-supbeam-k40-l2.html
its in german, but he paid about $109 for the light
I'm on the fence about this one... interested, but I already have similar ones.
I think that I need this light 
I’m in for one!!!
can you put me down as a maybe?
I used to have the original Supbeam K40 when it came out. It is a very nice light. Very well-built, high-quality manufacturing. It has the same UI with the TN30/31s, which is a very user-friendly feature, but it has none of the reported flickering concerns. From its battery-carrier to the rotary magnetic ring, it rocks. And it has a very low mode (.6 lumen) for those who prefer it.
Its factory lux rating of 95,600cd is IMO even lower than it can actually throw. Recommended.
I wonder how this would compare to the ThruNite TN31?
Not much difference. You may check ILF’s previous beamshot comparisons between it and the L3 K40 (the same light).
pulsar/nick
change me from a maybe to yes! i just sold a light so i have $
lucky... wish i could get my mag sold. lotsa lotsa goodies i been eyeballin
edit: about 5 hours on the other forum and no one even commented on the group buy...
That's what I'm getting a little hung up on. With an XML2 in there, this light should be in at least the 110-120cd range, the original XML tn31 was, and this is basically a clone.
I would like to get one for the price. Well it’s just the price of a pd35.
its got a slightly smaller head than the tn31
k40-l2 head: 76.2mm
tn31 head: 79mm
not much bigger, but a hair bigger
Same here. I bought mine directly from Supbeam. It’s definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made. The K40 is beautifully made; the anodizing, machining, fit and finish are all second-to-none.
The magnetic-ring thingy is super-friendly in use, together with the tailswitch. A really well thought out product 
I was excited about this one as soon as Nick mentioned it. Too bad my budget is blown for a while. I would like to get one of these some day (or a TN31), just to do a 400kcd+ mod to it. I don’t have a truly pure thrower yet.
Gonna have to pass though. 
I was also hoping you’d get some traction over at CPF. Maybe it will pick up… gonna be tough to get 30 in on an $80+ light it seems.
Put me down for one! Thanks for organizing another group buy. :)
