The 45/65/85Watt HID Flashlight Came In The Mail Today

I would like to thank Reuben for the nice HID flashlight. It’s came with the 4300K bulb in it and the 6000k bulb in a spare box. It’s looks to me it’s going to be a thrower. I’m charging the battery now since it was on when I got it. But the battery wasn’t in the light. But it looks about like a new one to me. I paid $115 shipped for this one with the 2 bulbs. Maybe since it’s an older one it will beat some of these so called newer ones that seem to be more spill than throw.


Here’s the 4300K bulb.

and we wait for beamshots….

And we wait for the battery to charge. LOL!

I sit anxiously awaiting batteries to charge in another state……

Hi Brad,
I seen a lot of advertisements of that HID light, looking almost the same, but at various prices. How do you determine which is best?

Hey you might want to run it full blast without the reflector and lens if that is possible. Mine fogged up which eventually led to the ruin of the whole light. Just a caution. Some on here know more about how to do that or if it is even necessary with your light.

Lucky... I am quite literally on the phone with Ebay right now filing a claim. :'(

This is the other one I bought from Reuben here who goes by the username night2day. I bought my Catapult V3 about a year ago from him off ebay.

That other 75watt one I got scammed on. I will have my money back by Dec 23.

But this one is I believe is going to be one bad momma! I compared it to my halogen spotlight on the wall. It looks pretty wicked to me. But no it won’t beat the halogen.

Oh, ok nice. Now they are trying to tell me I need to wait until the 29th before they will decide the claim even though I messaged the seller on the 14th. Dumb old ebay. So now I'm on hold for a manager. Enjoy the light though!

Your asking the wrong person on that question. My understanding is that the older ebay HID’s are better than the newer ones when it comes to throw.

I think you should break down and buy a Surefire Hellfighter and be done with it.Wink

Or build a short arc.

Well I just had to take it out to try it, but I’m gonna wait to take beamshots when the battery is fully charged. But this thing is wicked.

Ok boys, here are your photos.

Hey Brad, do a comparison with your L3 Illumination K40. I'd like to see how much brighter these are :)

TN31

Great pictures Brad!! :wink:

Now remember, too Glenn your looking at a 4300k bulb vs a standard 6000K bulb so it won’t be as white as the LED.

And too, I may need to play with the focus some more on both of these lights. There is a fine line in getting optimumum throw by where you have it adjusted at. I need some more time to play. But I think I got them pretty close.

Is it just my tablet screen or does the tn31 seem to throw more?

I played with a few lights last night and my 31 keeps on impressing me

So ILF how do you like dem 4300k? pretty good for the money right? The flood from this thing really kills the yezl at close range. Only CON is my bulb is all tinted and not 4300k no more and more to the tint of 5000k NW green.

Did the Yezl throw more or is it just me? nothing will beat that 85w total output though
