Just had to!

Wut? Sanwu has stopped their RGB host? How could I miss it? Does it mean I'm wishing something what will not exist? :undecided:

BTW: That flashlight is absolutely crazy. That put my 1700 lumen into candle region. Incredible power...

No, no, no. I meant Sanwu is being mean nasty and ugly making us wait. About ready to write my congressman. :crackup:

Should have inserted the word “yet”. Sorry for the rise in blood pressure.

ps, Yep your wimpy 1700 lumens needs a highchair.

Bob, I’m trying to be good and your not helping here. I’m glad it’s $400 because that will take longer to rationalize that I need this....for my mountain bike...where’s my wallet...

Sorry dden, Mom said I was a difficult birth. Things haven’t got any better. :crackup:

But if it helps, since you live in Florida, there’s no shipping charge. You can get the light, no accessory for 320.00, I think. Not much help am I?

Where are Beamshots Bob?!!

Where are Beamshots Bob?!!

Wow! Perfect timing, I just got home and am charging the batteries. Hopefully within the next week or less. It’s one awesome looking flashlight. Grab some op: and kick back and get ready for a show.

Wow! Perfect timing

Tero, Bob was just waiting for someone to bump his thread.
He didn't want to double post. :crackup:

How long does it take to charge them? :undecided: :na:

Ok, Bob, as if I haven't got enough temptation to spend my hard earned money on, along comes you with this awesome looking gadget that I don't need but would love to have.

Thanks for the heads up buddy, can't wait for your pics.

Well, I’ve been behaving myself and haven't spent any money on laser(s) in quite a bit. (Because Sanwu won’t release their RGB) . Yep, I’m blaming it on Sanwu! :crackup: So I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, so when I saw this, I had to break down and pop for one.

An upgrade Bob.
Adventure Sports. New flashlight maybe.

Can't wait to see your photos, Bob; I've got the popcorn popping!
I hope you don't get any unannounced visits from the FAA, or any planes trying to land in your backyard.

Wow, it looks like they've got upgrades for that monster already, thanks for that link, steve.:yh:

Yup,
Bob.. if you have trouble to recharge the batteries, you can always send that "tiny" flashlight over here..

Vinhn got his modded versions to around 2.5km+ throw with some low intensity Oslon Black diodes. (Dont think he sells those versions).

Crazy guy, crazy torch = Winner

Bob, I hope those batteries you have on charge aren't UltraFires.

:crackup:

Daang! Nice light house my guy.
Just yesterday I finally picked up a TN42 from Thrunite, Have been wanting it for a while now but the price has been holding me back. Now seeing how much you spent on your little toy I don't feel so guilty anymore. :crackup:

 

[RedCowboy]

TN-42, how about the Olight M7 or Acebeam X-45 or the Acebeam X-80 or for near 300 Imalent DX-80

I also get the Trustfire.......Stop laughing, 12T6 for around 40 dollars on sale and they are not bad, but I want more.

I have not read up at the FL forums, just looking at specs, I like throw better than flood, but a lot of both is nice as well, what do you think is the best in the 200 dollar range.

I got mine from amazon its cheaper there especially if you have prime:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L75AINK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I watched tons of reviews on youtube about TN42, Ace beam K70 is about the same as TN42 with a tiny bit less range.

Olight M7 is pretty awesome on its own, X-45 looks awesome but the high modes probably kill the batteries in minutes, both are pretty much flood lights.
I have a TN30 floodlight but I don't have a thrower so that's why I went with TN42.

If you want a mix of both flood and throw this light looks like a great contender: https://www.amazon.com/ThruNite-Flashlight-Lumens-Adopted-Thrower/dp/B01MEHKWA9/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1527579151&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=Thrunite+tn42

 

[RedCowboy]

That TN-40S looks like a good balance of throw and flood, really flood is useful but a long throw is so cool, I still think I can get a bit more, that Imalent DX-80 looks like fun.

Watch this short clip, I wonder how much is radiant/waste heat and how much is photons ?
