Looks like a TM36 with an XHP35 HI swapped in. I have a TM36. Its good, but its not nearly worth the price. I don't think this light will be either. Thrunite TN42 looks like a better light for half the price.
When I purchased my first TM36, I paid around $350, a few month later, a second for $229 and a third as the Lite version for $189.
Comparing the fit and finish of Nitecore and Thrunite is like comparing a Cadillac to a Yugo.
1400 meter or yard range from a stock LED light is impressive.
The price will be discounted in a couple of months, but no one discounts newly introduced lights, especially throwers.
The TM36/8 is a high quality flashlight, has a very good battery pack and is also very nice. The TN42 with that huge reflector seems an upside down pot.Looks like a TM36 with an XHP35 HI swapped in.

Come on Capolini, you know you want one of theses lights. [emoji41]
The LITE version of the TM36/38 uses 4 user installed batteries that can be changed out like other Nitecore Tiny Monster lights.
The propriety battery pack holds 8 -18650 batteries, making the lights a tad bit shorter than a Fenix TK61/75 light with the extended runtime kit.
Not really! They are way overpriced and don't perform quite as well as a tn42!
I got my tk61 VN V4 for about $300. That is about 1800 lumens and 770Kcd.:thumbsup:
I don't need all those fancy readouts either! LOL! Once I do runtime test I know my light and batteries perfectly and never once were discharged too low.
That is soo much throw for that amount of lumens. I almost feel the the tn42vn would be a pencil beam with the intensity of a lightsaber. I think the tn40vn almost has too much throw.
You are correct, but having 750 lumens and 470k lux makes quite a tight beam.
I am trying to find out where to get the smaller 4 -18650 battery case for my TM38. I just purchased the full-size model with the proprietary battery and wanted to have the option of using the smaller battery pack.
