50000 kcd, difference between both lights. 120000 kcd, TK70, 170000 kcd TK61.
You still have the Fenix E 21, and the Fenix TK41?
TK70 is rated at 130.500

Of course I can -Charging up those 10.000mAh D-batts
Will let you know ASAP
Hope the TK61 is also much more intense than your TK70.
I just came back from comparing the TK61 vs TK70. As expected, the TK70 has a similar beam-pattern as the TK75. Only difference is that the TK70 has a slightly intenser hotspot, compared with the TK75.
At the other hand, the TK75 has more lumens than the TK70- so you've a better view as thing catch more light.
Intensity-wise the TK61 wins big time from the TK70. I can clearly see the TK61 hotspot when I point it, in the TK70 hotspot.
For a better comparison between the TK70 And TK61, is holding the lights side by side, and shining the 2 hotspots apart from each other side by side, or have you done that too?

Received my new TK61, after send my off center led back, but the new one is also, a very little off center, but much less, but with a painfull blinding hotspot.
I'm confused too how the emitter could be off center. Doesn't the board the xm-l2 sits on fit snugly up against the opening of the reflector--flush with it? I have my E40 sitting here in front of me and it's the same way. The xp-e and green board it's on are on a separate orange (plastic?) piece that essentially makes sure the led is dead center. Centering is of utmost importance in a light like this where gaining tremendous throw is dependent upon the way the light reflects from the emitter off the reflector. Do want to see pics though. If I do end up getting one I'll go to Bright Guy in person and ask to see a copy before buying.
Different Topic: Are there currently any good ways to defuse the beam of the TK61? I know Olight had some custom diffusers for their lights and it would be great if Fenix did something similar. I guess I could try to make one, but are there any out there already for other lights that are even big enough to cover the TK61?
Oh and for those who already have a TK61 how is the tint quality of the cool white xm-l2? Is the tint better than the original xm-l? I guess it can be any light with an xm-l2 to answer that question
I also wonder how the led could be off center in the TK61. The led in this lights, sits against a plastic cover, and that cover sits directly against the reflector.
My beam is white. Corona slightly green. Spill is purple. When turned-on outside, all I see is white.

My Fenix TK61 looks like it slightly out throws my Olight SR90.
I fully charged both lights and went outside to check out the brightness of both lights. Shined the lights on various objects like trees and power line towers.

A tri-emitter light with a shallow(er) reflector will not out-throw a deep reflector flashlight. The TK75 provides massive output but it is flood output and not throw. You seem to keep confusing massive output with brighter when in fact there are all sorts of different beam profiles based upon the reflector. Want something that will light up your entire back yard? Get a tri-emitter like the TK75. Want to try and spot something > 800 meters away? You need a deep throw reflector. There is no best of both worlds, you either sacrifice flood for throw or sacrifice throw for flood. That is why people who want all throw go with aspherics which have no spill at all, and people who want all flood cover their lenses with frosted film.The TK61 must big outthrow your SR90, because of 119000 kcd, against 170000 kcd, from the TK61.
I not understand, why it only slightly outthrows your TK61.
Even the TK75, can outthrow your SR90, i mean the new 2900 lumen TK75.
