Id loose that small light too easy
I like the strion HP LED. Ive made shots on deer out to 425yds with that light and my AR. And battery last a really long time on low power.

Ive got a small rayovac 3watt LED that takes 2 AAs. Its enough for small task and just something to carry. New batteries and its a good 30yd light and batteries last quite awhile.


Had a streamlight scorpion,it was good for EDC. But the bulb fell out into the reflector and i cant get it out so it stays in the bottom of my night stand haha.

I am in the process of building a pocket rocket. Just waiting for a few more parts to arrive. It uses the same led as the tk35, but runs off of a single 123. It is not an extremely practical light on high, but it should be very impressive. This is what I am doing A couple more pocket rockets XML A30B vs MCU-C7s | BudgetLightForum.com
I will let you guys know how it turns out if you are interested.

Works great, I think I may break down and get that smooth ring though. Not for aesthetics but because it will go in the holster easier. I take into out probably 30 times a day and its annoying. Cheapest I've been able to find it is 15 bucks for a little aluminum ring

Why the 35? I just don't like the shape of the body. I think I'm going to go with a 41 for the truck and get the 70 to mount in the tool box for when I want to go have some hog fun

I read the TK35 had a more useable beam. Still plenty of throw and quite a bit of useable spill. And I like the smaller size of the 35. I'll definitely let u guys know how it performs once I get a chance to use it.

So how bright is that TK15?
