Terralux TLE-300M beamshots?

[Arkiv N]

Can someone get me some beamshots from a stock Maglite 4D LED and some beamshots from a Maglite 4D with a TLE-300M drop-in?
I have search but I can't find any comparisons with the Stock LED and the Terralux drop-in.

I have read the http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=193434 thread, and from what i understand the TLE-300M is the strongest for my 4D.

Wanna know if the TLE-300M is worth buying, or if I should go with the stock LED and save the money for a HID flashlight.


Sorry for my bad english, CPF is great for practice my english skills

for the money the tle-300 is a bargain, its an awsome flood light with some good throw, its well made and damn bright, dont think about it, just get it, you will not be disapointed....

I own one, and can't recommend it.

Yes, it's very bright with tons of flood. But it doesn't screw down far enough in a Maglite. The slightest bump with usually jar the drop-in loose. The only way to get the light to work again is to unscrew the bezel-ring, and use the tips of your fingers to screw the drop-in back down. This can be quite frustrating.

I also have Mags with the stock LEDs in them. Not nearly as bright as my 4D Mag with TLE-300M, but a slight bump won't be an issue for my other Mags. They're more dependable.

I'd recommend saving up for a good HID.

I have one in my mag4d. It's not for whitewall hunting for sure. It's made for throw(spotting) as it excels at that. If you need a spot type light it is well worth the money.

Anyone else who got this problem?

I'm sorry, I can't givce beamshots. but I will say that I haven't had any troubles with it screwing in wrong or something.... but when I first tried it out in my house, it was may brighter than anything I've seen and I couldn't wait for night time to test it!!! when night fell, I was almost dissapointed. It is a great spotter(10+ft diameter spot!) for about 50 or so yards... anything after that, the beam just gets dispursed too much. keep in mind that this was in a urban environment with streetlights and hhhhhwhatnot... mileage will probably be better in country(rural) areas.(still have yet to try it there)

GOOD LUCK!

Arkiv N,

the Terralux TLE-300M is a bright drop-in...if you are looking for a "Wall of Light".

I recently purchased one in late December, and it was not what I expected.

The light is bright as heck, but it was not throwing enough for it's intended purpose.

But if you need a beast that will give you a wall of monstrous light...check out my FOR SALE link at the CPF MARKET PLACE.

I am selling the Terralux TLE-300M AND the 4D Mag-lite for $65.00! (Can't beat that with a baseball bat). But you gotta pay the postage...and I will only accept a PayPal payment.

I don't want to use this thread to sell my stuff - but I noticed that you were interested in the Terralux TLE-300M. So I thought, "What the hey...he might like a good deal".

Hope this helps.

In Christ: Raymond
