Ther is a Stepdown from 5000 to 3500 lumens after 3 minutes. I think it is a very nice competitor to the Fenix RC40.

Spam link deleted = Norm

That light looks kinda like a Fenix.

If you can wait, don't buy this light yet. Vinh MAY be doing his version of it, hinting at 8k lumens and ridiculous throw when de-domed.

I wonder if the step down is thermally activated feature or software driven for automatic protection?

I've never even heard of Supbeam. Is it a bad sign that one of the first search inquiries I got was budget light brands? LOL

Are they a good company with good builds? Let's be honest here; that thing is a TK75 with an extender

I was told by Supbeam that every time when you turn on the X60 at highest mode it is 5000 lumens, 3 minutes later, it will step down to 3500 lumens. It has a time based(software driven)step down.

I don't own any Supbeam so i can't tell about the quality. I agree that the handle looks like a TK75 with an extender. The head looks like a RC40. The light looks basically like a hybrid of a TK75 and a RC40.

I had never heard of them before either until the Vinh SupBeam K40 mod came out. After I purchased the K40 it certainly looks decent. And it functions like a dream. I guess time will tell. But it is built well and attention to detail is excellent.

Supbeam = Thrunite= L3 Illumination

They produce high quality lights for a decent price.

Nothing wrong with budget brands, once you become familiar with them. It isn't like we are talking Ultrafire (which is cheap, not budget)...they are built fairly well, and consistently so in my experience.

It might be visually similar to the Fenix TK75 (I think it looks more like the RC40, myself), but it delivers more than 2000 more lumens...different class, with more cells and more LEDs. Appearance is about the thing they have in common.

Supbeam is one of the best brands in the business, but not so popular. I have Supbeam K40 1368lm and it is a beast of a high quality.

But there is at least one difference[I won't cause controversy!].

The TK-75 has 20 minute step downs, but you can step back up again!! I run my TK-75 on Turbo[!!] for 55 to 65 minutes every time I use it.

Honestly,I do not know if you can step back up "continuously" on the SB X60. Even so, it would be a pain to continually do that.

However, what is the sense of 5000 lumens[I know,advertizing/competition!] when it steps down in 3 minutes??!!

As far as bulk I guess it is similar in respect to the RC40.

how many greenbacks ?

299$ without Preorderdeal.

They announced that they will make it possible to deactivate the stepdown!

That is good news!! For someone like me and others[SAR] who may use turbo a lot!

The X60 is a newer model like the X40. K40 is a generation earlier, but a nicely built light. The X40/X60 has built in charging. Really nice control ring feel. But wait for Vinh. He usually gets a big discount in a bulk order. He then sells the modded light for much less than if you bought it yourself, and sent it to him for modding. It's going to be around 7500-8000 lumen, and 200,000 lux or more with the dome on.

It's going to have ridiculous throw with the dome on too. I already have a K40vn for throw myself. I think X60 will be +200K lux with dome on, and have a much nicer fat spot than de-domed.

It will have 154800 lux, as the manufacturer states.
