MM15 is double the price though!
Brightness isn’t everything >) Especially in short bursts before huge stepdown (over 50% output reduction) and with no throw. I think K40M is better than TN35, it has the same quality, brilliant UI, the same parameters (neiglible difference in throw) for much less money.
K40M and TN35 both have the same exact UI.
Exactly. That’s why I think K40M is a better choice.
If you can get a better price than $96.50 for the K40M, you can count me in. Lately I’ve been on some insane Supbeam buying spree. Gotta get a grip, …next year!!!
Have you tuned into a better deal?
I am still waiting for some Informations from banggood …
what I know:
the manufacturer sold all supbeam lights and do not want to make acebeam Groupbuys.
Nobody mentioned the Fenix TK35 MT-G2?
could be had for about $110-$130 shipped from aliexpress (cheapest is a new seller, and therefore maybe risky)
Johnnymac `s review may be coming soon..
It’s been mentioned a couple of times. $130 is a regular price even in the US. I still think K40M is better - brighter, throwier, better UI and cheaper.
Its has not been mentioned a couple of times in this thread!!
The problem is the Fenix TK35b is it's relatively weak. Only 1800 lumens. That's not really much of a step up over an xml2 light.
I’m huge Fenix fan, but K40M, is 2 class better flashlight compared to TK35UE, don’t even put them in same sentence, on top of that, its even cheaper!
TK35UE is not only less bright but it also has huge stepdown after 5 minutes (brightness drops down to 800 lumens).
To be fair, none of the other lights k40m, tn35, should be run on the turbo setting without supervision either. I'm honestly amazed that more flashlights don't literally burn themselves out on a regular basis.
Stepdown is not real issue, we are talking about different class of lights, K40M is on level with TN31/TN32……TK35UE is not.
Acebeam is cutting back. The Acebeam K40M comes in a cardboard box, instead of Supbeam’s aluminum box. The price went up on BangGood’s site. Less for more.
Banggood has been terrible lately about offering a low initial price, then jacking the price up. There used to be a thread that recorded the price of interesting lights at Banggood. Hopefully that thread is still going so we know what price to ask for when contacting BG reps for a better price.
Sometimes there are versions with reduced set to keep the price low. Who said that K40M was coming with aluminum case for $100? I think it was much more (HKE sells such set for $160).
If you want flood the Niwalker is king of the hill but for all around performance the TN35 rules them all and can be had for $150 on sale. People who say an MTG2 light can't throw has never used a TN35. 500 meters is a thrower. A year ago it would have been among the best regardless of emitter. It has the best UI and is rock solid and its hard to argue with 3000+ honest lumens.
That said, the K40M looks super for the money. It won't throw as far as the TN35 but it'll still probably do close to 400m give or take. I have one being sent for review and will be comparing it to the TN35.
did you guys read my K40M Code incomming thread ? 
acebeam sold the old supbeam units cheap
than raised the price for acebeam
(forces bg to raise also)
we get the good alluminium box with the GB (40 of around 70 already taken)
price is a bit below asit was possibe before the step up
