Anybody else think the review section got spammed by all the TK10 reviews pouring in at the same time?
I really hope 4sevens doesn't do it again this way in the future.

The lights they got were loaners, right? They have to return them, don't they? I guess I can see your point but on the other hand we certainly know a lot about the lights before plunking down the change. I'm glad for the reviews as to know it's not for me. Too much center light and not enough spill but what I like a light to have.
There is no "taint", and anyone who thinks otherwise may want to think about why they assume the worst without a single fact to work with. I'd be ashamed of myself if I automatically assumed that everyone was crooked and on the take.
Unless you are a boob. In which case what difference does it make because the internet will have already eaten you alive anyways.
I was solicited. I did not take him up on his offer. There was nothing in the offer that would have influenced the review. The only requirements (that I recall) were that you wait till a certain date, and include the link to the right product on his web site.
The discount was minimal.
There was no hint of bribery. There was no hint of coercion. There is no "taint", and anyone who thinks otherwise may want to think about why they assume the worst without a single fact to work with. I'd be ashamed of myself if I automatically assumed that everyone was crooked and on the take.
I, too, think there should have been fewer reviews. I only read one or two of them, then figured I'd read enough. The TK10 is not one that I'd normally buy, and that's the only reason I did not review it myself.

You guys are all missing the OP's point. He never said it's tainted or not, that's another discussion, but all of you cramming the review board with review for the same light at the same time (I just counted ten on first page, five more on second page, which undoutably are all on first page at certain point). 47's strategy is obviously use sheer number of reviews to catch attention to his product, and to some people, that is spam.
I'm sorry folks for the trouble I caused. I promise this will not happen again.
(I know there are rules now in place to prevent this) I did not intend to be
a source of problems. Again, I'm sorry.
I also made a public apology here https://www.candlepowerforums.com/posts/2417745&postcount=149
