That's all: Why are 3xXML lights popular now? 3xXP-G lights weren't, nor were previous lights going back...forever. What was the change?
Because it's too hard to fit four emitters on a small board! Flood is king now... There are still plenty of throw junkies, but little brings more smiles than lighting up your entire yard!
with the TK70 on high how long does the potection take to kick in on turbo mode ? as the video's ive seen it seams to kick in early and drop the lights out put on the goinggear video it kicks in realy quick and drops the out put back
thanks for the video do you think its worth paying the extra over the TR-3T6
Yeah probably total lumens. That said, single LED can do things that multiple ones cannot. The SR90 beam is way better than anything I have seen from a 3 x XML.
Great way to get a lot of light, in a floody setup from a small unit.
Over the last few years people have been tending towards floody lights (hence zebralight's popularity and surefire's saint).
LED flashlight manufacturers have been switching between single LEDs and arrays of LEDs for as long as LED flashlights have existed. It may not seem that way to people who are newer to the hobby, because they didn't get in when the 5mm plastic-encased LED was in its prime. People built lights with arrays of a dozen or more 5mm LEDs at one point.
Am still unsure what happened to cause the switch, unless it was just - Fenix tried out w/ the TK70, and things evolved from there in terms of popularity and copying. Perhaps.
Over the last few years people have been tending towards floody lights (hence zebralight's popularity and surefire's saint). If you can get a really bright light that's floody and you like floody lights. then, why not go for a 3 xpg or xml set up? I'm not one of these. I still like spotish beams.
