the zero warranty are only on those with sales..those normal price or slight discount will still have their warranties retained.

I think only the CLEARANCE items no warranty. Other sales and normal item still carry their usual warranty. Check with seller to get more details.  biggrin.gif

Hi. Kindly refer to the product posting the warranty as specified. Only jetbeam i mentioned no warranty as specified in the product post and banner. The fenix is only BC20 bicycle light that is without warranty, other brands olight, nitecore & balance of the fenix model is with 5 years warranty as mentioned in the product post. Tq. Gwen

yup, you are right! haha... lumen vs lux, no argument there.  biggrin.gif
for me, a balance of flood and throw is most useful in EDC (one of the reason I carry both E05 and i3e in the same keychain-group  sweat.gif ).
another criteria that I always look at is the runtime vs brightness (another reason why I carry i3e instead of the i3s-cu).

there are so many choices now, even the budget range is good enough for daily use, not to mention there are many with convenient built-in rechargeable battery too.

fwiw, the i3s-cu is a little picky about the battery used. normal alky will likely not able to deliver that high mode for more than a minute and spend most of it's "high" mode close to 50% of its claimed brightness. Even when it's powered by NiMH or Lithium primary, there is a step-down after 3 minutes, it's one of the reason why when compares with i3e side-by-side, it may appears the i3e is just brighter. At turn on, both i3s-cu and i3e are good for seeing anything within 15-20 meters (with minimal light pollution) with i3s-cu leading the advantage in peripheral vision, but after a while (like 2-3 minutes), when i3s-cu drops its brightness, i3e will be seen as having better reach than the i3s-cu, thanks to the beauty of i3e TIR optics.  thumbsup.gif

I plan to buy nitecore tm06, any comment on this flashlight. The problem with nitecore is their rechargerable battery is really expensive.

well...imo for all that power, its throw is quite pathetic due no thanks to its small reflectors.
also no one said u have to strictly use nitecore batteries...u can use any brand as long as compatible.
but in my experience, the nitecore batteries do last longer and are more stable.

4 pcs Panasonic NCR18650B shouldn't break your bank and it should provide adequate power for it.

To play safe you can go cheaper with 4 pcs LG HE4 and they pack a punch for its price still. Though the capacity isn't too impressive in my case.

There is no need to buy protected as they restrict the amp flowing through but I'd go for it due to safety

obviously depends what u want.
lumens isnt everything.
there are cheaper options with lower lumens from nitecore and olight that will outthrow tk75.

Do you want throw, spread or something in between?
The older Nitecore TM16 with around 4K lumens might suit your need.
It's much cheaper than the Fenix and reliability is not an issue as I had mine for about 2 years already.

Try asking for discount code or groupbuy price from CPF or BLF.
Bought mine from Banggood using the disc count for less than US$120 back in 2015.
It should be much cheaper now as considered old technology already
