Beam Shots of my V54 Torches-LGK20 V

[ven]

:mecry:thats not a nice sight, sorry to hear and see roberto. That LED appears to be very sensitive, have read a few failing too easy. I am sure the film is put there by the manufacturer to cover that solder/joint when made. I have seen it before, might even have been a convoy.

The orange film looks like Kapton tape. Probably to keep the electrical connection from shorting out on the reflector.

Exchanged my L2vn for a K60vn!:thumbsup:

There is probably more to like than the initial thoughts[b/4 getting the K60vn] below:

Wise and expedient decision on my part!


-Love control rings,,,way better UI than forward clicky!!!


-Bigger light, better heat sinking-less heat.


-Bigger head/reflector more defined hot spot


-Only 500 less lumen and 65Kcd more


-Has a holster


-K60vn Will NOT be top heavy like the L6vn. That light only weighed 7 grams more than my TK75vn and felt like a pound heavier because it was TOP HEAVY!


I am sure I will like it,,,fits the gap I did Not have of a high lumen light w/ a sufficient amount of throw.

K60vn beam shot hopefully next week!

Here is a beam shot of my K40vn.In the usual spot of late. 300 yards away.

CAPO'S NEW ROTAION-EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

With the edition of the K60vn I had to re-organize and extend my rotation to Eight[8] nights instead of Seven[7] nights! I had to move K40vn to SECONDARY status! However, each light gets 30 plus minutes on the trail. I always start off with the SECONDARY LIGHTS.

I bring One PRIMARY light a night and up to Two SECONDARY lights a night.

PRIMARY:********** SECONDARY:***** ALTERNATES:

1.TK75vn***********1.TK35vn********1.TN31mb

2.TN42vn***********2.M2Xvn*********2.SL2Cvn

3.K60vn************3.TX25C2vn

4.TK61vn***********4.SDMiniVN

5.TK75vn***********5.U21vn

6.TN42vn***********6.K40vn

7.K60vn

8.TK61vn

Cool thread! I'm loving the pictures of your lights in action on your trails. Always cool to see people still using the TK75vnkt, my farthest throwing light so far still. Thanks for sharing!

 

[hahoo]

should do a side by side of the tn42- and the tk61
would be interesting......

Nice shots! A familiar sight on an unfamiliar trail for me!

TK75vn gif from last night. It was not planned! I just said yes when google photos asked me if I wanted it!

 

[Capolini]

Just a note here for the Beam shots on the Power Pole. ALL of those lights were used for 30 minutes before the beam shot. I would say 80% of that time was on turbo. The reason being it is NOT completely dark yet when I start my hike and I always use my Secondary lights first.

I doubt if there would have a been a noticeable difference w/ the eye.These lights maintain MAX output for 45 to 55 minutes.

TN42vn-300 yards

Thanks for that last shot. I have a TN42vn on the way!

Your welcome.You will like it..Neutral or CW?

I have the K60vn coming Friday w/ my custom design for his engraving where he will use his creativity and craftsmanship to display it beautifully on my torch!

I do wish my camera was better so I could take beam shots from my water tower and Cell Tower targets. 1500 yards and 1800[over 1 mile] yards respectively.I think it would have to be a very expensive camera to do that.I have tested my TK61vn V4 and numerous other torches at these spots.

K60vn- 300 yards to tower.

The K60vn has such a HUGE hot spot!

The K60vn has such a HUGE hot spot!

Bigger hot spot and more lumens than any other light I had. TK75vn KT was the light with the most output prior to this.

K60vn-6000Lumens/200Kcd

TK75vn KT-3500 Lumens/341Kcd
