fenix tk35 vs thrunight scorpion v2 vs eagletac t20c2

These lights are all very close in output. I know the fenix is 100 lumens more than the other two. I didn't expect the 100 lumen difference to be so visible. Is this because of the size of the reflector? I'm looking for bang for buck around 800 lumen for around 100 bucks and prefferably 18650 batteries. Any info or recomendations about theese lights would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I love modes and options the more the better!

1 x 18650 vs. 2 x 18650 is quite different, I guess.
I think I'll go for TN scorpion V2, though I heard some water resistance issue I heard of it.

I wonder if they're all ANSI lumens.

My TK35 is bright as heck, but I don't like the fact that there appears to be condensation on the lens and reflector and everything is epoxied so that it can't be opened.

I can't comment on the other 2 since I don't have them.

Would you mind elaborating on the water resistance issue? Isn't it supposedly rated IPX8?

I voted with my wallet. I just purchased the v2 scorpion-neutral. Just waiting for the slow boat from china

I have the T20C2 MKll, and really like the versatility afforded with all the interchangeable modules available for it. The newer HO xm-l module is fabulous, the xr-e is a great thrower, and the neutral puts out beautiful light. The ET comes with a lot of very useful accessories also. Good luck in your search!

+1 for the ET T20C2 MKII for all the reasons you stated. I have all of the modules that are available (including both XM-L versions). I really like the versatility of this light and it is solidly built.

Can't you send it back RMA?

No, because I tried to open it with some circumclip pliers and whilst failing to open it, I marked the Al on the module inside the head. I wouldn't even try to send it back after that.

The condensation doesn't seem to adversely affect the output or the beam in anycase. It just makes me more likely to use the light and not worry about the appearance too much, which probably isn't a bad thing!

You should answer this question by viewing the SUPER GoingGear Ultimate Flashlight Comparison 2.

Agree, the EagleTac XM-L modules are amazing, both for output and beam quality. Good useful wide baem, and in my one at least, perfect tint.

The only drawback is that it doesn't have a proper low ('low' is about about 9 Lumens I think), and it doesn't remember the lowest level (reverts to General when you switch it off from low).

For those reasons, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a Scorpion V2.

I just checked out those drop ins that is awesome.
