$250 is the base price.
BTW, this is my favorite flashlight out of the half dozen I own. It's really two flashlights, a thrower and a flooder which are each controlled separately. Also, the runtime is very generous when compared to most high performance lights. All in all, an extremely practical light.
I added the U3 PDTn copper bonded, dual XHP70'S NW copper bonded, and of course Vinh's engraved V54.

I love that light! Can you run all the LEDs at once? It's super awesome!

Debating between this
Tk75vn
TN36vn

K60vn

Is this light 250? -

You absolutely can run all three emitters at once. The two XHP70's give you over 6000 lumens of flood and the U3 adds 1000+ more lumens of throw. You can run either the two XHP's alone or the U3 alone. Each can independently be cycled through about 5 brightness levels. So, you can have the two XHP's on low while the U3 is on high, or whatever you want.

With the options mentioned in my previous post, the total was $305 and we'll worth it.

I considered the TK75vn and the K60vn, but the versatility of the MM18vn is hard to beat IMO. As to the TN36UTvn, Vinh is building me one as I post this, LOL.

I believe I am between the TK75 and this light. This one seems pretty impressive. The TK75 seems to have more throw while maintaining a good amount of flood though. Lots of money, big decision!

My 2 cents : the MM18vn is like having two nice lights in one. As has been said, the LEDs operate independently so its an excellent flooder and decent thrower. 1000 lumen thrower and 6500 lumen flooder or combine them.

The TK75vnQ is the 2nd best combo light behind only the X60vn. Meaning it outputs a lot lumens with excellent flood and excellent throw. It's my favorite all around light.

Comparing the two lights, the TK75vnQ puts out 5000 lumens and 366k lux. The MM18vn is 7600 lumens and roughly 120k lux. The MM18vn is the pop can queen and the TK75vnQ is the combo queen. Both are excellent lights but do different things and have different size and form factors.

I already have a M2Xvn for throw, so I don't think I need 2 lights in one. Do you think the useable Hot-Spot of the TK75 is good for work in the garden during a storm? I also like the TK because I've heard tremendously good things about fenix reliability.

I would definitely think so. Check out my thrower comparison thread. There's a bunch of shots at different distances. Fenix does have a good reputation for quality and also Vinh repairs any issues he finds along with his upgrades.
