Since the last time this dropped, I ended up purchasing the BLF Q8 5000LM as Jas260 recommended and I could not be happier. MUCH less expensive and still a fantastic piece of kit, crazy bright. I may end up picking up a DX80 as well... admittedly, this LED flashlight hobby is slightly addictive. :-)
treal512I know, I read these comments and start searching and then, my wallet is thinner. As a follow up:: The Emisar D4 is my favorite torch. Gets hot, but crazy amount of output for a single 18640 unit AND for just $40. Sorry. :-)
treal512WOW, nice.. on my way to pre-order after this post. :-) I love the size/feel of the 26650 lights . I have the Lumitop ODF30 and other than a somewhat limited UI, it's a great light. I have a couple cheap 26650 cells and they leave something to be desired, run the ODF30 in turbo for very little time. Will have to pick up some quality cells as well. Thanks for the heads up!
Tango48The D4 is a solid torch i have one as well, however the throw on this TM28 (~740 yards) combined with the 100,000+ candela AND combined with its high lumen output makes it by far the single greatest flashlight handdown
