And I know you guys trust me, but I thought I would show that I’m not altering my camera to make any light have the advantage. This just let’s you see all the camera info for each shot.
Just in case someone has any doubt which light owns the other, I have isolated all the outside interference to show only the barn itself and no foreground or any other distractions. The TK75 is so damned bright that one could say it interferes with itself but if the pic was taken from another angle where you weren't looking down the beam it wouldn't appear so hazy from the light pollution. Even though the TN31 appears cleaner, it's only because it isn't putting out as much light. This match up would be even better is there was no humidity in the air to create back scatter haze.
Thanks for all your work taking these pics, Brad! It is much appreciated by all!
Edit: I corrected the mouseover pic to say "TK70" instead of the incorrect "TK75". Sorry.
Heh…Yeah I know. I already noticed that and corrected the image text at the source. If you clear out your cache it should show the correct text “TK70”.
When it gets good and dark here, I’ll go take a few more at 445yds. I’ll try holding the lights out to the left a few feet from the camera and see how those look on here. I think it looks like it will be a good nite for beamshots.
So what I want to know does this mean the TK70 might out throw the SR90 since the TN31 throws about as good as the SR90? I know Marshall at goinggear says it won’t, but I don’t know. I’m just going off of what I seen here and what selfbuilt showed pictures of and the lux values he posted from each with his calibrated light meter. The SR90 had only slight edge in throw over the TN31. I’d say it would be very close between the 2.
I told my buddy Rick on the phone earlier today that just think how the TK70 would throw if Fenix would have left the head the same size and put a single XM-L driven as hard like the one in the TN31. Now that would be the light to have with a huge reflector. There’s no telling how far it would throw.
