I won a TK30!! What can I expect?

[DigMe]

I'm so stoked that I won a Fenix TK30 today from PTS in their drawing that they're running in the MP!!!

So what can I expect from this light? The only other light I've ever had that was over 300 lumens was a Borealis 951/Mag85 from Juancho/Black Bear. I no longer have that but it was a scorcher but with very limited runtime on 9 rechargeable AAs.

I'm gathering from some reading around that this is more of a floodlight than a thrower but how much throw can I expect? I'm guessing that it's not really 300 meters as stated in the Fenix specs.

Since PTS was so great to do this drawing I ordered an WF-139 charger and 2x 18650 batts from them to get the most out of the light. I don't have any 18650 batteries but I have a couple of lights that could use them. Looking forward to finally getting into the world of 18650s!

If it's anything like the TK40, then it will be one of the most perfect beams out there. Perfect about of throw and tons of spill. Lights up a huge area.

It has exactly them same beam and brightness as TK40, i.e. you can just check all beamshots from TK40 to see how it looks.

I have done a review here, it is in Danish, but you can see the pictures and beamshots anyway.
