Meh, I thought it runs at 830 lumen with 2 CR123 or an 18650. There are other lights as well with similar brightness using 3 or 4 cells.

Anyway, how does it perform with 2 RCR123s?

If you are using two RCR123s with 3.7V, expect it to have the same output as two 18650, albeit with greatly reduced runtime.

Is this light a good choice for my police duty belt....is it durable???

I would think so, yes. (I have one)

Throw an 18650 in it, have CR123 (and/or 18650) as backup...should make a great duty light.

Even on two cells or on a single 18650 this thing is bright


It noticeably out performs my Eagletac T20C2 mkii XM-L T6, which is rated 580 ANSI. I'd wager the TN11 on a single 18650 is still 700+ lumens OTF, easy.

I think it is :) - in the short version ( with 1*18650/2* cr123) is great for your belt. Gives plenty of light, you can easily switch from mode, not to heavy,
and it can take a beating.

I've dropped it a few times and it has stood up to the impact fine. However, the problem with a light of this size and weight is that, when you drop it, it will hit the ground hard, so YMMV.

~900 OTF lumens initially on all battery configurations. 750 ANSI lumens on both 1x18650 or 2xCR123A. The problem with using 1x18650 configuration is that the light has very little regulation. With 2xCR123A, however, you have at least of ten minutes of solid regulation.

I took the tailcap off then took off the ring on it. After that you can slide the clip down on it with a little effort. Screw the ring back down after its on and you should be set.

Wonder if the TN11S has a shallower reflecter or if it still has the same does anyone know if the TN11S has more spill because I know the TN11 doesn't have much but its a very great range compact light.:grin2:

The reflectors are identical @ 34.6mm diam x 32.3mm depth. You can check this thread for comparo of indoor shots.

Hope that helps,
