I bought one of those KD Q5 aspherical kits and put it in 2D Mag.It looked so butt ugly I was embarrassed to be seen with it!People were asking if my lens was melting.But this is a thing of beauty.:thumbsup:

I also purchased the KD Q5 aspheric. It focused really good and the beamshoots look just like the Tiablo A8 aspheric. I already purchased another Mag aspheric Kit and I am having Nailbender build me a dedicated high current single emitter custom aspheric version too.

You will eigher love them or hate them. It is true that side spill is not great at all. The small area at distance it covers is not great at all eigther, but this KD aspheric kit caused me the most wow factor ever.:sick2:

When going out for a walk after dinner the tight beam allows you to just light up your way and not your neighboors property. For wooded enviorments I use my incan set-ups.

The Tiablo A9 aspheric was for sale in the Market place used for around 100 dollars, but sold after a couple weeks. I would have purchased it if I didn't have the 3 Mag Aspheric projects going.

Ordered one of these for my A8 since I'm buying an EagleTac to do flood duty. Wanted something that would reach out and touch somebody and hopefully this will do the job.

I so hope I'm not disappointed when they arrive.
 
Tiablo A9 with aspherical lens is very good thrower and it seems to be also a non-lethal optical weapon...
My questions are:
1. is it possible to change the clicky switch for tactical one?
2. If yes,the function OFF-LOW-HIGH-OFF will be the same with the tactical switch?
3. How to increase the optical output - higher voltage supply, change Cree Q5 to R2 or something else???

Thanks for all constructive answers!

Did the same thing with my A9 back when Lighthound was selling the foward-clickie. Don't miss low at all. If I need low, I'll pull out another light.

The new head looks like a great way to turn my A9 into an even better thrower than it already is.
 
Does this thing throw further than an EagleTac M2X?

Far outthrows it. Just doesn't put out as much "useable" light. I've got the single P7 Eagletac and this head for my A9. I can reach MUCH further with the aspherical. Just not as useful. It serves its purpose at work though.
 
Hi I am Miro from Croatia ( Europe ) and this is my first post on a candlepowerforum.

Today I have received Tiablo A9 with coolimator head so I will give some of mine experiences to U :

- When using it with original head it has very good throw up to 120 meters ( so if U R hunter it will please U with throwing distance, and very bright light also but comparing it with magcharger it still out throws Tiablo A9 with more focused light)

- When using it with coolimator (aspherical) head we have a different story... Light is focused in a small square that throws bright blue led light 3 times further than with original head up to 300 and more meters... But it is usable only up to 250 meters ( So if U R hunter U can shoot up to 250 meters, it out throw magcharger

- Very important thing that Tiablo A9 works better with 2 cr123 batteries than with 18650 battery and it is 10% brighter and throws further so please order 123 batteries with charger for it U will be much more pleased with that...

- Tiablo A9 is extra quality flashlight with very nice and strong material
- Only thing that is bad on A9 U can not screw aspherical head to the end because it will not throw properly so U need unscrew it few circules back and A9 is a bit loose then and I would said more fragile and non water resistant...

That would be mine experience with Tiablo A9:thumbsup:

I would buy even better thrower than this Tiablo A9 so if someone can suggest me better thrower ( at this size 1×18650 or 2×123 cr) I would be grateful

So please help me to find better thrower than Tiablo A9 (but only the flashlight that can be bought in stores, not hand assambled flashlights. :wave:
 
Hi Miro, and :welcome:

I have Tiablo A9 with the aspherical lens and I find this light fascinating. When I demonstrate it all people becomes very impressed and want one. It's a very special purpose light, usable mainly for illuminating object at long distance. One advantage is that because of the lack of spillbeam you can in many cases shine between two quite close located objects (buildings, for example) without to draw attention (if it's not foggy, of course!), which had been done with a reflector light. Therefore I use to call it a "lazer flashlight".

Regards, Patric

Hi Patrick... Thank U on your warm welcome to CPF...
People (hunters) are really impressed with Tiablo throwing abbilities... They became stunned... I already have 5 orders for this flashlight from them so I will even earn some $$$ :broke:

You can shoot up to 250 + meters...

I just wonder if some kind yellow lenses can be put on aspherical head for better results on foggy weather...

Small, practical so powerfull flashlight... A+


I am searching for even better thrower than Tiablo A9 aspherical head
 
Then I'll thrust U... 😉

Only problem in aspherical head is that U can not tighten it firmly so flashlight can not be water resistant and shock resistant...

How to resolve that problem?

Does anyone resolved that problem with aspherical head?

I would be grateful if someone has solution for that?
 
I can get perfect focus without exposing the o-rings. So I think that the light is still waterproof.

Well my O-rings are exposed (does that means that I don't have original A9?)

However I have mount it on gun cal. 8×68 s...

I have also try to shoot with flashlight on...

I can say that nothing bad did happened (flashlight stays on place where it has best beam focus although it has 3 full circules exposed)

Some advice how to get best focus without exposing the o-rings?

Maybe I need to put something (some kind of rubber) in a head?
