Quick phone pic. Can't wait for it to get dark so I can test it out tonight.

Check out this website. It's a russian website but it's pretty easy to navigate since all the models are written in english.

I dont like my Fenix E21 anymore.....I need the TK70. But $50.00 in batteries after buying a $230 flashlight is brutal.

It was too cold to stand outside and try to figure out how to adjust the brightness to show the true brightness of the beam, but at least you can get an idea of the differences in beam shape. BTW this is off a third story balcony, with street lights on outside.

PD31 @ 304 Lumens



TK35 @ 820 Lumens

You can tell how much more light beam is in the center, but all that power and you show us pics of the ground 5 feet in front of you? Weak. Shine them across the street at those apartments and lets see how bright.....go ahead and hit the stadium with the laser then snag get a pic of that too.

I got a pic of shining it across the street and there is too much other light out that way to pick up the beam and stuff with my camera. And my laser sucks, I need one of those 1 Watt lasers for $900 lol.

BTW if you look at the surrounding area in both of those pictures above you can see how much the camera had to adjust to the brightness. In the first pic you can clearly see outside of the spill area, while in the second one it is almost completely dark outside of the spill area. It's quite a bit brighter, even with as much ambient light around as there was. In complete darkness the TK35 is noticeably brighter and has a lot more throw. I really want to get a 100% throw light now though haha.
