I am considering buying a light in the 2000+ lumen range in the fairly near future(2-3 months, I dont need it right now). But by then, there will probably be at least one more available option in addition to the three listed above, but assuming there isnt, I'd like to know how these 3 compare from the standpoint of people who've owned them, or know something about them.......
The Fenix TK-70(2200L) is the cheapest, at about $229. The Nitecore TM-11(2000L) is next at about $260, and the Olight SR-90(2200L) is a good bit higher at around $350 - $450.
Whats odd though, is the big difference in battery requirements between the 3 lights. The SR-90 uses 6 18650's, the TM-11 uses 4 18650's or 8 123's, but the TK-70 uses only 4 D's, but only NiMH batteries are to be used in it.
However, even though these lights have increasingly higher battery power from one to the next, the TK-70 with only 4 D's seems to have equally good battery life at similar power settings, using the same LED, although the TM-11 has 3 XML's.
However, I've read 2 times about people who claimed to have minor problems with the TK-70, but the lights could obviously be returned under warranty.
It's hard to judge and compare the beam profile of these lights on videos, because often the spill beam cant hardly be seen in the vid, and the hot spot isnt all that clear in the videos, plus people often overestimate the ranges that they are spotting with the lights.
So, does anyone have an opinion on which of these 3 lights is the better choice?
Also, is there another 2000+ watt LED flashlight that I'm unaware of that may be a better choice, but not too expensive?
