How's the beam looks like? I mean how far is the beam.....

How far....? estimate? What brand is your MK3?
Fenix Tk11 goes around 200M, my Mini CREE 200 lumen with adjustable Light Beam goes around 350M.

Yo Bro Nexro,

My Spider Fire ZY-C30 200 lumen with adjustable Light Beam 3xAAA can throw upto 400M lah.... much longer than Tk11!. Hahaha.... but the spot is the shape of the CREE LED (Square shape!!! The actual shape of the CREE LED!!) but the flood is good enough to brighten up around 15 feet front only).

Good throw, got to forsake good flood. Cannot get BOTH world together!.

Bro Nexro,

Visibility doesn't mean it can shines upto that level lah.... eg: our car's headlight visibility also upto many miles away but can only shines and brighten up roads how many meters away only???

Photos taken using 1sec and some 1/2 sec shot due to night shot. Measured with my GPS unit which took me walking at night.....

Taken at around 20 feet:


Zoom Out (Flood system)


Zoom In (Spot System)



115 Meters shot:



246 Meters shot:



482 meters:



You can see that from 482 meters it's still slight brights up...therefore i would say the throw max upto 400 m to be clear.

Now where to find a single Cree LED 200 lumen mini torch with 3xAAA can throw upto 400m ?? Photo of my mini torch thrower as below:

hahaha..... by the time it arrives, already eyed unto another toy liao....

The problem is almost every month it has new torch toys coming out therefore it's always catchy in our eyeball!

Got a link from pedro:

MAGLITE MODS module

It a straight forward drop-in type.... hahahaha.....another hole in the pocket.

Errr...by right should not.
Well, cannot guarantee as sometimes things can even go missing in Kastam itself.

Justin Bro,

Here's one more link for the drop-in mod for maglite.

Maglite LED Module

Happy viewing.

Bro Watta,

I think the best way to prove it..... is to trial the scenario, rite???? But get prepared to "sacrifice" your toy ????

After the dip....please ensure to open up all (everything) at your torch to blow dry (hair drier) it ASAP.

Then let us know....hahahaha... )

Oh...yes...lube the lube!!!!

The easiest to get is either home uses... Singer Oil or even cooking oil is OK but it's a bit dirty coloured ...... The lube basically resist the water froom going in. As long as there's lube / oil around the "O" ring area, it's better than nothing.

If can get the silicon lube...it's the best!!!! or one can travel to any good tackle shop...there also got sale of silicon lube as well....

By the way, the Jet-III Pro series.... does it has the "constant brightness" circuitary as in Fenix TK series or direct pulls from battery?

haha.. ) go and try swimming pools first! or your home's bath tub !.

Added on September 14, 2008, 2:07 pmWow...looks like JetBeam III Pro has better "constant level" output than Fenix!!! and so is the price as well!!

Fenix definitely has a strong head-on competition!!!!! Personally, I would choose JetBeam III Pro as well.

Well, there's alway "claims of claims!!!" from manufacturerlah... if they claimed that "constant brightness" therefore it should not drop anything below 3% from the original lumen otherwise...what's the constant brightness claim for???? ............. for marketing only lor!... LOL

As long as it's good torch...am interested....do you know how many lumen ?
Can take a photo comparison between TK11 and this new torch : 10M and 100M and 200M?
Can we use 1x 14500 using only the back extra tubing as main shaft? as 3x AAA is a bit too long to carry as EDC. 1x 14500 would be the best!.

Bro Pedro

I think it's using Luxeon!.

Gadgetworld2u,

Sorry my typo error...it's 3xAA and not 3xAAA.
Since it can use 2 or 3x AA meaning it's circuit should be able to use between 2-4.7V therefore it should be able to use 1x 14500 provided the extra tubing for end part able to connect the front module.

From the photo taken....comparing TK10 and your new Police 25W Luxeon light....looks like TK10 still brighter leh..... just look at TK10 shining at the playground (children slide) and the tree....looks like Tk10 still brighter!.

i took the liberty to edit and paste your Police 25W torch to your TK10 comparison as below:



If using Luxeon LED, I doubt it can outshine Q5 LED.
