Is the RC15 as bright and have as much throw as the TK35 in real world use?

Yes! I've used it out doors and have very impressed with the throw and battery life.

I have the rc15, both are labeled at 860 lumens and I can say from experience the rc15 is the brightest light I have come across. Battery life is excellent. It looks a little smaller as well, but has a nice weight to it

This flash light is by far the best brightest most power flashlight I have ever owned. And no other flashlight comes close to comparison.

Fenix TK32.

I have compared the light to the 4 cell EA4 and the Tiny monster TM26. The flashlight throws a more focused beam than the Nitecore EA4, therefore the flashlight is more of a thrower than the EA4. It does not illuminate as much as the Nitecore TM26, which has more spill than the EA8. Overall, the EA8 is a very nice, bright flashlight that will outshine most lights of the same size.

I don't have the standard TLR-1 to compare with however I have used this light in several tactical competitions. and haven't needed to do a battery change yet. It stands to reason though more power = more battery drain.

If you are new to 450 size and 3d flight, I think the RTF is good. I would recommend replacing the gyro. I replaced the stock unit with Spartan Quark and I love it.

10 lumens. how does one describe how bright something is? just enough to find your way around the woods at a distance of 10 meters. there is a red lens cap for sale on amazon that is specifically for this light, but if red light is what you want, then i would buy a light that has a red led instead of capping a non-red led. more efficient, more throw... if this is what you want though, you cant really beat the t20 for EDC purposes.

Hi, great question! The TIR lens on the Surefire does a great job of providing a lot of spill with great range. The Surefire will outshine the HL at a distance. The Surefire also has a wider beam pattern, however the spill is not very bright since most of the light is concentrated on the hotspot. I use the Surefire because I need the throw. As stated the spill is wide, but not very bright. If you're looking for all out range get the Surefire. However, the Streamlight is a very powerful flashlight with a smooth transition from hotspot out to the edge. I feel the smooth beam pattern on the Streamlight is better for 'general purpose' work.

Sure thing (I was somehwat surprised to see this thread started from 2008 again). The 17-55 is a real treat in low light, I think you'll love it!

The wider field of view and the small camera size of the DMC-FX35 are things I like. The FX35 can be purchased today too while the TZ5 cannot. But, I am leaning toward the TZ5 because I also value the features of continuous autofocus and 10x optical zoom and its field of view is also wider than most cameras. This Panasonic page shows the differences between different fields of view. http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/global/lumix/popup/wide_angle/index.html This Panasonic page shows feature differences between the two cameras. http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/vModelComparisonResults?storeId=15001&catalogId=13401&catGroupId=75047&surfCategory=Lumix%20Digital%20Cameras&cacheProgram=11002&cachePartner=7000000000000005702&items=214163|214166|213677|

Thank you for your inquiry. Comparing the TK51 vs TK75 it really depends on what you are looking for in a flashlight. I know that the TK75 it is a very popular selling flashlight. With the Fenix TK75, four 18650 rechargeable cells are stunningly transformed into 2900- lumen max output.On high at 1100 lumens, this compact Fenix flashlight pushes for four hours while the 400-lumen level stays the course at 12 hours run time. The stainless crown, strobe and SOS functionality as well as the on-body dual switch system make the TK75 a trustworthy carry on search, caving and scouting missions. Mounted on a vehicle or stowed for emergency use, this light captures the proven performance found in every Fenix lighting product. The Fenix TK51 Flashlight employs dual LEDs to increase total output with nine, wide-ranging lighting options. Spot and flood beams include 1800 lumen max output and 1394ft carry distance. For total control, one-button instant turbo and strobe activate even when the TK51 is off. Hopefully this helps you with your search for the perfect flashlight!

The lumen ratings of these are not real. This is a bright flashlight though. I have a Fenix TK-75 which is rated at 2600 lumens and I'd say this light is comparable. Less throw and more flood but this is still a good light.

A degree in computer programming. Ok, I'm being sarcastic, but - I'm not much of a tech guy and I found the 300 completely overwhelming and intimidating. I traded it in and got an RC-30 instead. I would ask anyone - "are you totally comfortable with high tech? Or do you get easily frustrated with it?" If, like me, you are more likely to get frustrated, go with the RC-30.

I just sold my older tamron 70-200 and got this newer version. If you do sport, I say yes it is worth it. The faster focusing motor helps for tracking and the VC here is unbelievable. If you shoot portrait, other still photography in good light then the IQ isn't much difference. This is my action sport lens, the newer version taht I couldn't afford with the nikon VR2 model. I could of gotten a used older vr1 version.

It has more flood then other lights I have but it does have good throw. I like the levels of light, I have used the low levels more then I thought I would. I like to carry in my pocket for general use.

The original version was rather limited in range at about 35 Ft where they claim around 100 for the 'improved' version The antenna that you see on the transmitter is a dummy and is actually inside the main case .It was the norm for people to do slight mods to the board increasing the range and all they have done is to do the same mods on the production models . They have also added LED lights alongside each engine pod which does nothing really for performance but adds a bit of 'bling' to the model . They claim some changes to the electronics board but I have fitted a new board to an earlier model where could not se any differance Still a nice little starter copter ,little bit twitchy but very soon overcome . Plenty information about this on RC Groups dot com

Not much throw, they put out a very wide pattern, lots of side light. I returned them for a set of 30 degree lights that I find much better. I am using these lights on an F350 for night driving in the rural Midwest.

It is very floody compared to the average tactical flashlight on the market. If you want more flood then the Zebralight H502 is the floodiest light I've bought and completely outclasses the Sc600 it in that sense due to the emitter being so close to the lens but then it has very little throw. The throw of the Sc600 Mark 2 is good and I haven't had an issue with it spotting things far away but the flood is why I got it. It is a good balance between flood and throw while being more on the floody side. I would say its a near perfect beam pattern for everyday tasks and needs and doesn't leave me feeling like it needs more flood or throw. Your mileage may vary.
