ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS:
Your gonna fall in love with that TK70. No other LED light I have will light up objects as good as the TK70. And it lights things up with a lot of spill as well. Your gonna be amazed when you first turn it on.
I’ll give you some advice on batteries. I am running the blue 10,000mah Tenergy batteries in mine. I have 16 total of them. They will work great if you charge then and use them within say a month or so and then charge that same set again to use. But what I don’t like about them is the ones that I got fully charged that don’t get used that sit for much over a month will lose their charge quickly. I read than Nimh batteries will lose about 2% of charge daily. Don’t know if that is correct, but what I will tell you is that these blue Tenergy batteries will after a month or so after being charged and put in the TK70 will not let the light go on Turbo mode. It will for a sec and then it will go back to the high mode. That means the batteries are’nt at full capacity to keep the light on turbo. So I would recommend getting the white Tenery batteries at least or a better grade low self discharge battery that is a better battery at holding a charge. Tenergy makes a white LSD battery, but the Mah capacity is a lot lower and I believe is either 7000 or 8,000mah. I think the Meridion batteries are good, and Power-X batteries. But they are more epensive. But I myself wouldn’t buy the blue Tenergy. That’s my advice unless your gonna charge and use the batteries fairly soon and then recharge them.
But I can tell you I have some white Tenerygy AA cells in my TK41, and they are a lot better battery than all my other Nimh AA batteries that I have. I would guess the white Tenery D cells will perform very very well, too.
I have my eye on the White Tenergy 10000 mah batteries…. Thanks for the advise!

I have been using the Imedion 9500mAh LSD D cells. Twice more expensive, but I store my TK70 even with the batteries on, ready to fire at anytime, about ten months and counting, no stepping down from Turbo mode, no voltage drop. Impressive. You get light, in a flash.

That’s the batteries I meant to say.

That is why I bought 16 Ternegy LSD D. When it comes to NIMH, always buy LSD. The extra capacity of 2000mAH non-LSD NIMH is not really useful, buy spare LSD D if more capacity is needed.

Good beamshots. TN31 is slightly better!

The TN31 lights up a much smaller area but it looks like it’s hot spot is just as bright. The TK70 lights up the whole countryside so it is really hard to tell though lol. I think it would take an sr90 or maybe a BTU shocker to run with that beast. Totally awesome bunch of lights that you have and your beamshots are killer as usual.

Taking into consideration cost, the K40 wins without a doubt!
Great job, I wonder how the TK75 is compared to these?

Where are the K40’s sold? I heard it’s about 60$ for the light and 40$ shipping from the manufacturer. Are there any other deals out there?

I've been working on getting a deal with them but they like to overcharge for shipping. I was quoted $181 for shipping and a $20 bank charge for 10 K40s and 10 X40s.
