my three mnke’s arrived and was taking outside for some testing. dude, this thing puts out a ridiculous amount of light.
on low mode, its about as bright as my srk on high mode. but the ak47 is still floodier.
on medium mode, it completetly eats the srk for lunch and dominates the tk70 in brightness and flood.
on high mode, you have the sun in your hands! i does get warm pretty darn fast on high mode though. which is a major joy kill, because high mode is just soooo much fun you almost gotta tell your self ok…thats it. let the bad boy rest for a minute.
but richie did tell me he had it on medium mode for 30 minutes and it was fine. so not all is lost here. in medium mode, it still destroys all my lights! so im very happy with this light!
LOL…I told you high end cells coupled with 3 together make a very big difference from only 2 cells. I was also manipulating the light between high and low for that 30 minutes. Nothing worse than working hard on a light to shine like the sun, only to burn it up during testing, which there was no way I was going to let happen with my lights.
So before you were pushing 57 watts gross, now you’re up past 90 watts gross. Enjoy!
EDIT: If you have a big open field near you, see if you can get a friend to help you take some beam shots compared to the TK-70 or SR King… J)
i have never taken beam shots or posted any pictures on any forums in my life. when i tried taking some pictures to test for my own self, the picture turned out soooo crappy and blurry, i didnt no what the heck was going on.
i was trying to take some beam shots of a tree that was about 350 feet away with my sony cyber shot 12 mega pixel and 4x zoom. i tried zooming and then taking the picture, all blurry. then i tried taking a picture no zoom, still crappy.
so i dont think my camera is good enough for beam shots.
maybe my brother can help me out, he has a much better camera. but when i hear you guys say exposure this, exposure that, bring it down, up, 0, and other numbers…im like what the heck are you guys talking about??? i didnt even know cameras have these options. hahah
Ray, if your brother is into cameras, he’ll certainly have a tripod, which is essential for taking night shots. Don’t even attempt it without a tripod, and the reason the photos are blurry. He’ll also know how to adjust the camera settings that would allow the rest of us to basically see the same thing you and your brother would be seeing while taking the photo.
I don’t have a TK-70, but know how great they can be. I know I’d love to see what your AK-47 could do up against an all out thrower like that, and I’m sure the forum would like to see it as well. Even though the AK likely can’t beat it in throw, I’m sure it’ll be very interesting to see both types of beams.
