Niwalker BK1 (141Kcd thrower) and BK2 (mt-g2 flood/throw)

Hey guys what do think of this?

http://www.helle-taschenlampen.de/threads/produktankündigung-niwalker-black-light-series-bk1-und-bk2.209/

Would like some more info on them, in English. :slight_smile:

English translation

I don’t really know the market like some of you, but between the Crelant 7G10 availability, and this (pre-?)announcement, it seems like there’s going to be a small flood of MT-G2 lights coming out soon.

can only hope so

I guess these were the lights originally prototyped as NWK1000 series. I have a Niwalker 550N3, and if the build of these new lights is anything like that light, I’m tempted. I seem to recall the MT-G2 version was a more neutral tinted light.

Looking forward to seeing more on these two lights - the Niwalker site doesn’t show the updated BL1 & BL2 specs yet.

I think they were the bK1 and bK2, rather than bL1 and bL2…

Yes, my bad - I mean BK1 & BK2, as in “Black”.

I speak German but the site doesn’t load for me at all … wtf…. great!

Badass!! 2500lm ANSI and 130kcd throw! If it’s under 200 bucks then Nitecore better comes up with one Monster of a new Tiny Monster!

No specific specs information of the German link yet but as I understand it the BK2 has a single mt-g2 LED. Can a single mt-g2 achieve 2.5k lumens? The Crelant 7G10, with a single mt-g2 claims 1800 in its specs. I was about to order the Crelant when I read some people posting about the BK2. Will it be worth the wait?

ahh, I was thinking BK2 was flood to throw, now that I’m on a computer (instead of phone) I can read the translation…sounds like it is a reflector light…lots of flood with some throw…

It looks like the BK2 is in the same class as the 7G10, only with higher lumens?

I’ll bet the Niwalker is in a different class as the 7G10. :bigsmile: The quality of my Niwalker light is as good as or better than anything I have (Sunwayman, Klarus, Jetbeam, Fenix blah blah blah). I suspect this will be reflected in the price.

ah, but the beam….sounds like similar class :wink:

What I meant with the same class as in a Big-reflectored, same-LED, combination semi-flooder/thrower. If the BK2 is not, I’m getting the 7G10.
As to the manufacturing quality differences, well, that’s another matter.

Selfbuilt has just posted a review on both these lights on the other side. They look, well, impressive.

No price information yet - they still haven’t been officially released.

Bummer about the lack of regulation for the BK2. Impressive overall output, though.

MT-G2 lights don't look like they will ever be cheap .. sort of reminds me of SST-90 emitters that never came down in price .

Waiting for 501B MT-G2

or the sk68 mtg2
