Nitecore TM15 and TM20

[peterharvey73]

Because there is no first optics (dome lens) on the emitter, so the visual luminance (surface brightness) is increase to n^2 times of the emitter with lens, where n is the refractive index of the lens.

That's incredible.
It's also so simple.
I wonder why they didn't think about de-doming it before???

Oh hell. I tried to watch the video but this dude's been watching too many american movies. He's doing the Cali thing but in German where he finishes EVERYTHING as a question.

Damn that's irritating but I like the idea of the TM20 as I don't think my TM11 has enough throw.

Interesting news indeed...too bad lights go down in price so fast. Can't get your money back

I thought an LED without the dome meant brighter but shorter life span. If I recall, a fellow member had a DIY home-made Mag SST-90 in the custom section and found this out the hard way - burned out the expensive SST-90 LED rather quickly.

On the other hand, I doubt that a company would risk doing such a thing and getting a bunch of lights returned for repair either. There must be some info missing in this interesting story...

Has anyone heard of when in the Mid-2012 year this thing comes to market?

I sure would like to see the two-button electronic controls from the nitecore EC1 to be put on the TM series.

I would love to get my hands on the TM20. The TM11 just lack that bit of through!

 

[Glenn7]

Love to see that new st70 led in this baby!! Now that would throw....

 

[tobrien]

I'm so glad I held off on the tm11 now. The tm20 could be it!!

I wonder what retail will be on these. The only way I justified my tm 11 was the gun safari promo

I hear that....but the 11 has been so amazing......I think I would actually bite early......

i wonder if the tm15/20 will use a similar driver as the tm11.... if so they probably got all the 'bugs' out of it during the tm11s run

Hope that those new lights, will hit the stores soon- and reviews will come quick
Think I will go for the TM20

 

[Edog006]

Amped to see some beamshots!!!

Really hope that Nitecore will make an easy to use diffuser for the TM 20, imagine that throw with the ability to use a good diffuser... great combo

 

[Glenn7]

Skilhunt might beat them to the punch line with the K30 & K30 GT, tho the GT will have the SBT90 @ 1000 lumen so the TM20 will probably be brighter anyway @ 2000+.

I've been holding out for a while now waiting for the TM20, really hope Nitecore will have updates soon
