Some beam shots

Do you have manual focus on your camera. Using this is the only way I get reliable night shots. So the reflector swapped in the TK61 has a larger hot spot than the standard reflector?

I was thinking ‘you can’t tell from the pics’ so I had a look myself and saw I was missing the pic of TK61 big reflector, LOL, the whole reason I took these shots and I forgot to paste a pic of it :smiley: :zipper_mouth_face: :smiley:

Post above edited. Modded TK61 immediately below the stock TK61. Modded one has a smaller spot.

Nice collection, love the beamshots specially of the modified TK61 with improved reflector. :beer:

Definitely great Beamshots!

Quite a nice group of flashights. They must weigh a ton :smiley:
Thanks for the ’shots

A Deft-X in the wild! Awesome! :beer:

No I don’t have manual focus :_( It has little icons to choose modes. I don’t know which I should be using - the candle (for low light), city night shot, fireworks mode or moonlight (long shutter). I’m thinking maybe I misunderstood your question about the reflector, did you mean how does the spot compare to the standard reflector with dedomed led? I mentioned above that I forgot to swap out the reflectors while I was out there. Maybe this weekend I can do the reflector comparison as well as take shots in each of the different modes to find out which is best.

The lights weren’t too difficult to carry

But the lights as well as the tripods I borrowed from work, that was awkward

Thanks guys :slight_smile:

very nice work here sir.
enjoyed it very much.
what was the extra lense on the tk 61 all about ?
was it aspheric ?

This is a bit of a trip down memory lane. I only own a couple of the above lights now. One of which is the modified TK61

Nice. Curious… what driver and emitter are you using in the UF-1405 build? Im thinking about building one with a buck-FET driver. I like that it can zoom out and still be used for close range flood.

Whats the light in that beamshot?

Very intense spill, those sst90 still realy good.

And the amount of lumens, did you measured?

@Kramer - I didn’t hang on to that light for too long. Going by what I said about it above I must have bought it second hand. I don’t remember who I bought it from or sold it to :question: So my memory fails to come up with what driver. Sorry, it’s just a beamshot of a light I used to have. If you want to use a fet driver on xml/xpl/xpg you could get the single cell version (UF-1504) I had one of those at one stage as well. After I machined around the neck area I preferred the single cell just because it felt that much smaller.

@Franz - I no longer have this one either. This is one of those lights I remember with a certain fondness. It’s a [Fivemega host](Sold/Expired - (CLOSED) D26 COPPER 26650 HOST BY FIVEMEGA | Candle Power Flashlight Forum with a Fivemega head The sst-90 was 6000k before dedoming and soldered directly to a solid copper pill. At the time I didn’t have any way of measuring output, again sorry guys :blush:
