Even if the K1 is specced with the XHP35 when it is eventually available?

Specs on the MHVAST TS35 are:
…
296900 CD (Max.) - 820 Meters (Max.)
2100 Lumens (Max.)
142mm x58mm x 32.6mm (Height x Head diameter x Body diameter), so smaller than K1.

296900cd is 1090m FL1 throw, not 820. Given the reflector size and the performance of similar lights like the Catapult, I’m going with the 820m (168100cd) being closer to reality.

The K1 has a 72mm bezel, which is quite a bit larger, and I expect it to be driven at least as hard. The Acebeam T27 has a 70mm bezel and claims 1180m throw, also using the XHP35 HI. That’s the closest comparison I could easily find.

Here you can find a collection of throw measurements of the lights in question.
Catapult is 151-195 kcd. T27 has only 2 results, 335 and 340.
