Btw the dry is different for me ,almost sexy ,lol but will let u know tomorrow hopefully
Back on Original Topic, sorry for interrupting your debate guys
Islandchannel my very personal suggestion is if you can afford you should take both them!
They are much different, as others pointed out yet.
Then if I had to choose, maybe for your guard job the TK35 is a better do-it-all package.
It's more pocket friendly, have a nice UI with dual separated buttons, and puts out a very nice beam with a good mix of throw and usable spill, illuminating not only your "target" but also the surrounding areas.
You cannot be unhappy with a TK35. I've one on order too!
DRY is a great flashlight, I love it, when you shine it in the dark is like switching on a halogen car hi-beam, literally it puts out a wall of light on Turbo, and even at the High level is very bright. The beamshot is more of a flood, also it seems more flood to the human eye due to the very bright spill that makes your eyes to consider the hotspot less throwy and bright in comparison.
But for your job I think that battery duration is important too, and I think that the TK35 has the edge here on efficiency and battery duration. With the DRY, to be on the safe side, I think you should always carry spare batts with you.
If you choose the DRY, let me suggest you to buy the newer version with step-down driver, it would be too easy to forget it's on turbo for too much time and burning emitters would be a no-no option.
Cheers
Well, at least we know who the liar was in this debate. Chicago X, that is just plain old rude and stupid.
don’t know about anyones age but that PM sure is not something an adult would usually do.
Wow… I see why chix is giving gifts away .
I have to say I'm quite shocked and disappointed by that. It's not photoshopped either.
I don't mind my thread getting jacked. Jerry jerry jerry!
Roflmao
I heard somewhere this was a flashlight forum.... lol!
Please do that, how2. Until you posted what ChicagoX said I found it impossible to believe you weren’t lying because I was fully convinced the guy I know wouldn’t stoop to that. That’s why I was so shocked to see it. I also have no doubt you must have said something similar or worse to him. If you want to be a stand up guy around here then I suggest you also make it public what you said to him that prompted it. If you can post his PM and call him to the carpet in front of everyone I suggest you do the same for yourself.
Why can't we all just get along. Life is too short for this bullshit, don't you think?
Please stop guys. This totally sucks!!!!
Perhaps someone impartial (admin) should sort this out?
Agreed!
...buy both TK35 and DRY - and be happy with that amount of light! Isn't that what this thread was about?
I already have the TK35, just waiting my Dry. Can't wait to compare them :)
I have the distinct fear I won’t be holding my DRY in my hands until mid-February. I sure hope I’m wrong!
Johnny, I've got the same unfortunate feeling you have. I hope we're both wrong....
I already have the TK35, just waiting my Dry. Can't wait to compare them :)
I'm in the opposite situation, I have a DRY (NW 4mode turbo) and waiting for a TK35 to arrive, maybe by the end of the month if I'm lucky...
But in the meantime I have compared the DRY to the Olight SR51 I have, and took from there my conclusions (written some post above).
All in all the TK35 should be similar to the SR51 for output, just a bit less throwy due to the smaller reflector.
Uhm... as I'm thinking about, the SR51 also would be a very good light for a night guard job. One XM-L, two 18650, perfect size and grip in hand, side switch very handy, excellent beamshot. Can't go wrong with that too, and price is just a tad higher than TK35...
