Mag-Tac 320 had not seen one yet and decided to give it a try. Bought an extra clip and put iton my xl50to keep it from rolling away. seems like a decent light. Bought a couple of fenix E12 for Christmas gifts

So far so good.

There's a PowerTac light called the PK Warrior that looks pretty cool. A 1 cell and a 2 cell version.
Only 250 made of each.

Folks here are passing around the pair. Check it out in the passaround section.

Thanks and seen that bykfixer:thumbsup:, striking is a good word for the PK. Might pick one up as not a bad price, just the postage can add a lot (more than imo it should be) then depending on the seller and how much its declared for could in $'s add a good $50+to the total cost!

Edit- I was wrong, cheapest shipping is still more than the light

$119.95	$119.95
Sub-Total:	$119.95
UPS Saver:	$124.27
Total:	$244.22

Credit Card Details



So maybe the last LED light i did not purchase and the shipping cost was the reason :laughing:

Awe, man...I forgot you're across the big pond.

But if it's any consolation...you guys got better Honda Preludes, and are getting all the good Civics....

:laughing: , we have rust in abundance though , thanks to the salt used on roads come winter times!!! To find a good classic honda is like finding unicorns!

Will look into PK at a later date and get sorted once funds recover..........

Fenix TK75 (2015) - I wanted a real beast !

tn32UTvn


Why? Well i am biased to flood/spill generally as its more useful to me in work our out and about. Other throwers like the tk61vn(beast) is on the too large side of large:thinking: and never been too over struck on the UI........so the sr52vn, love it, size wise, 250kcd, useful spill, i mean not really much to not like along with solid build and that USB option if needed. So kind of had a break from throwers(well what i call throw biased which to me is at least 200kcd and a tight-ish spot). I mean the k60vn throws awesome and lots of spill,so for me thats throw biased. The tk75vnQ70 throws very well at over 200kcd from tests, but not a thrower, its just a wall of flood that reaches out........(no tight hot spot). Just way i see things and sure many wont see/think same :laughing:

So the tn32UTvn seemed a perfect candidate with control ring UI, Thrunite's build is very good now imo, quite solid and nice ano to boot! Not being too keen on the very narrow xp-g2 in this application(love the xp-g2 LED though!!) i opted to a more suited(to me)XP-L PDT option which throws great yet still with plenty of spill.



Not tested as no time at all, not to mention constant rain and cba getting soaked! However testing indoors shows a perfect like beam and hot spot, very intense. Compared next to the k60vn and its odd, the k60vn appears brighter side on due to being a little cooler and quite a lot wider(eye tricks), yet put the tn32UTvn beam into the k60vn beam and you can make out the more intense hot spot of the tn.

Cheers

Sorry to disappoint but my tk75vn is the q70 version


Now , all though i dont have the tk75vnQ this is going to sound strange, i would get the tk75vnQ out of them, only a little less throw at 366kcd but with more flood and option of run time kits. I do prefer the control ring type UI , however vinhs drivervnx2 is superb with 20 different mode groups........very flexible!!!

Not had chance to test the tn32UTvn properly, vinh measured around 400kcd with the XP-L PDT, and 500kcd for the xp-g2 . Both are very conservative so could maybe add 100kcd more!! dont know on that..............

Check out the k60vn, its an awesome light with 230kcd(conservative again) with a stunning beam/tint from the de-domed xhp70 and control ring UI.

So my choices with none of the mentioned and starting over, tk75vnQ or the k60vn
