I got really excited seeing the TM36 name. I thought it would be a "production version" of the TM20 Nitecore showed last year, meaning it would be a similar size to the other Tiny Monster lights. Now it's just a massive light like the Olight SR-series, not the pocket-able thrower I was hoping for :(

I would guess that many of the lights in the pictures above are very early production models. Just look at the bezel on the P15/16....that thing is thicker than any nitecore bezel I've ever seen. I would personally like to see an SRT10. A 2x18650, SRT style 1000+ lumen thrower. That would be perfect :devil:

Exactly, I think the TM20 light would have been a winner. I was wishing for that too.
I at least hope they would jack up the TM26 with XM-L2's, driven a little harder with better heatsinking.
Hopefully that would make it in the neighborhood of about 4000 lumens.

Ahhh so many lights from that list that I'd like to own. I'm sure I'll be lagging behind in acquiring them with those prices hehe

 

[Slewflash]

I hope the TM36 doesn't have a propriety battery pack...

I´m a bit disappointed. Specs are almost identical to Olight SR95S-UT and that came out last year. Don't get me wrong, this certainly is a great thrower but I expected Nitecore to do more than follow the competitors with equally advanced light.

 

[Luminater]

They are all LED lumen???

 

[markr6]

Uuugh, that headlamp! Huge, and I'm guessing pretty heavy.

 

[TEEJ]

Damn a 950 lumen head lamp!

You'd like the Armytec ~1,100 L headlamp then I suppose too?

:D

 

[ghodan]

Is it me or is 1550 lumen a bit on the low side for a model that number wise should be the top model of the "tiny" monster series?

Damn a 950 lumen head lamp!

Check out Zebralight and Armytek, as they both have over 1000 lumen headlamps, or you can look at Lupine Piko X Duo at 1200 OTF lumens(just 3 times the price)....

 

[LightOnAHill]

Yes but it takes 18650s instead of a specialized battery pack, so that makes me happy!

 

[whatswrongwithmee]

OMG, my FAVORITE flashlight company coming out with more cool stuff? WHY???????!!!!!!!!!!???? Damn thieves! Making me rob my bank account.

i bet they change the shape of the body to something much smaller but still connected to a massive head with the reflector in order to be true to the TINY Monster name of the line the TM36, and they are only using a large longer body right now as a temporary while they finish designing the other component ray that will most likely go with the body like an internal charger, the display for information, etc... Because those parts of the body are secondary to the actual emitter and driver of the light, getting the light working with the led and the reflector design complete so thy can claim 1000 meters was primary in the prototype process.

The other featurs of the body of the TM series are what make that line stand out, and I expect they would not want that released this early in the prototype phase to allow the competition to begin reacting at this early point.

ive got my money on a sweet tiny,oyster with a huge head.

I'm assuming this light is designed more for throw.
