Fenix TK10 or Conqueror M-C3

If you were placed in this position what would you choose?

From reading Tk10 throws 200m M-C3 150m ish

But M-C3 has a wider throw then the Tk10.

What would you guys choose?

Tk 10

I seriously doubt that the TK10 throws 200m, more like 200ft(~60m).

My Surefire M4 with a 300lumen lamp and 2.5inch Turbo reflector can only just identify objects at 200m.

To answer your question, first we have to establish what purpose you will be using the flashlight for? The Tk10 is far easier to carry than the M-C3 but puts out less light. The M-C3 is bulkier to carry but puts out significantly more light than the Tk10. Both lights have good throw given their designs and also allows the use of rechargeables which is important if you want to minimise your running costs.

what emitters does the M-C3 Use? are they all q5's?

Fenix site says 200m

I will be buying rechargeables so thats a good thing.

I intend to use it for outside to generally see things and sometimes inside things like roof spaces.

Nah, sources on DX claim Q2s.

If you need to carry the light around on your belt or pocket, go the Tk10.

If carrying a bulkier light is not an issue, I'd go the M-C3. Because 3 Cree LEDs driven at 0.5a will provide more light than 1 Cree LED driven at 1.2a. Also 2x18500s or 17500s will give you more runtime than 1x17670.

I'm deciding to buy either the M-C3 or the AK-T6... gonna do further research before deciding.

**NB: If you decide to go with the Tk10, it will be a lot easier and a bit cheaper to buy locally at torchworld.

I'd take the TK-10, but that's only because I'm biased toward Fenix.

With night adapted eye, it might be possible to see a white wall at 200 meter.

To actually identify things at 200 meter, look at the LED throwers, Dereelight DBS, Tiablo A8/A9, or Rapidfire Spear.

These lights might be too bright for indoor use(on high modes, the thrower LED lights probably have too narrow a beam).

I'd get neither and go for a P60 accepting light because they will have similar beam pattern but the P60 accepting light would be easier to upgrade.

I think I might go the TK10. Easier to carry around.

If you would like a light that would be easily upgradeable, look at the P60 drop-in accepting lights. The drop-ins use a similar reflector as the TK10(well, most) and better ones will match or beat it in performance.

The TK10 would be a good choice though.

The average P60 light won't be as tough as the TK10.
