Did you just make my 2 version 1's obsolete?

According to their dimensions, the TN42 is a little longer, while the MK35v2 has a little larger head.
Don't feel bad, I have two also. And if this v2 really does have a bigger head and shorter body than the tn42, then I might also make my tn42vn90 obsolete too! But of course that's only with a mk35v2 vn edition.
Oh wow, it is a larger head.
Size: 185mm (length) x 109mm (Head Diameter) x 53mm (Body Diameter)
- Weight: 737gram (without battery)
vs. the TN42
206mm (length) x 100mm x 52mm. Weight: 666g (including battery carrier)
That head size is larger than what I was hoping for but I'm eager to see what Vinh can make it do!

i am curious as to how it compares size wise to the k75 ?
I dont have a K75 sample in now to compare but there is no comparison. It's much smaller.
If I had to guess, seems like you prefer the tn42vn 90 over this new mk35vn.
You don't mention anything about how good the light is or do I see a R. Does the cft90 throw further than the sbt90 or something? Or is the tn42vn reflector just made better. Cus the mk35vn has a bigger head so I would have assumed it match or have greater throw than the tn42vn 90.

It has an R on the skylumen site. CFT90/SBT90.2 are just so impressive that pretty much anything that has them get an R.
MK35vnV2 4800L, 1Mcd,
TN42vn VNX3 Lumen: 5500 1.2Mcd
Perhaps the Manker has a shallower reflector, or an inferior reflector surface, a slightly larger hotspot or a difference in the LED's or how hard they're being driven. It does seem like the TN42vn is either being driven harder or it's getting lumens OTF more efficiently. Comparison beamshots could reveal a lot.
The nice thing is that the MK35vnV2 is $255 stock while the TN42vn CFT-90 is $625.

Yup! It has to be in a very crabby host to get something less than an R.
Thanks Vinh for the insight and quick comparison. I decide I will be just happy with my trusty tn42vn90. I was just hoping for an upgrade by now.
OH yeah if you got a TN42vn90 there is no point to upgrade. K30GTvn should be considered if you need a smaller size light.
