Comparing this model to the tk 51 1800 lumen model what is better?

That depends on what you mean by better! Each of those lights has a few features that are unique. If you are looking for the light that is brighter and has better throw, then the TK75 is a better choice. However if you are interested in something that is a little more portable and features separately adjustable LEDs, you might consider the TK51.

I guess it depends on your criteria. I have not used the TK51, but I do have and use (a lot) the TK75. Looking at the specs, the maximum output of the TK75 is over 1.5x that of the TK51. It does use one more 8650 battery than the TK51, so it is heavier. When all is said and done, it depends on just what features will suit you best. I can tell you that the TK75 is sort of like the flamethrower of flashlights!

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!

I don't know for certain, since I haven't used the illuminated version. But I would check the reviews of that particular model very carefully, and make sure that you can adjust the brightness all the way down. A common complaint with illuminated gear is that the brightness may be adjustable, but that even a the lowest setting it is still too bright. I can tell you that I've never been tempted by the illuminated version because I've never had a problem seeing the crosshairs on the regular version, and I've used it everywhere from city center sidewalk astronomy to radically dark skies deep in the Mojave desert. It seems to me that for bright stuff you don't need illlumination, and that for dim stuff the illumination might compete with the faint light from the target, BUT take that with a huge grain of salt since I am basically speaking from ignorance.

I have the STL360H style.Me personally would just buy the one with the best price.You WILL love this thing if you are into quality,I cant believe what an excellent light this is.

It seems to be a well made light and is very bright, but I do not really like the user interface. It is difficult to deal with all the different input codes to get to the intensity or option that you want. I prefer the Fenix TK22 U2, which seems to put out about the same amount of light and is much more user friendly.

I have not seen the new c4 model yet.I did buy one recently at pro bass shop and am very impressed with the brightness.If you do buy one make sure it has the c4 logo on the packaging otherwise you will end up with the 24 lumen model.

did you go with the TLR-2? The TLR-4 is a compact version of the TLR-2, with I believe also has lower lumen rating.

Those are the Kelvin Ratings. The 6000k is usually the most popular. The higher you go in the Kelvin Rating, you get more color in the light in exchange for visibility. So 6000k will be just slightly brighter than 8000k and 8000k will be slightly brighter than 10000k and so on but they will have more and more color to them. Its completely up to your preference on which one you choose. Hope that helps.

This one is OK but it doesn't have deep reflectors that are needed for distance. The furthest throwing lights I know of are the Nitecore TM36 at 1.1Km and the Olight SR95 at 1 Km. Another nice light is the Niwalker Vostro BK-FA01. It is 755m and is much cheaper than the other two I suggested. Wait for sales on these lights as MSRP prices are high. Going Gear has good deals sometimes but wait for the sales unless you need it now. This Trustfire light is more floody but has some distance. 750m is probably beyond this lights range. It isn't designed for throw but does put out at least 2K lumens. 11K is way over rated. Good luck. This one is OK but it doesn't have deep reflectors that are needed for distance.

I purchased the TM-50 primarily because the display is backlit whereas the TM-40 simply has the lcd. Other than that I do not believe that there is much difference between the two. It was just my preference.

Make sure every joint is tight, hard to mess that up so, don't really know what to say other then, I love mine! Both of them! Ak-47 light is whiter and brighter then my other. I use the larger batteries and 3 per light. 26650 3.7V Li-ion.

I would go with what the package specifies which is 180 lumens. The descriptions in Amazon are not always accurate. Regardless, a "difference" of 10 lumens in a flashlight isn't going to make much of a difference anyway.

to tell you the truth there isn't any difference, the only slight difference are the dates they were released to amazon, they say you can read with them, you really can't. the motion light with a shade is much better. the electric touch lamp is the best, 3 different levels, $54.

I have to go with the 230 lumens. Its very bright. You don't want to run it to long on that high setting.

if money was no object....i would buy the elite....its bigger (70 inch i believe)....its the only LED ive seen to best a plasma, BUT with a price of almost 8 g's id def rather have the VT, and definitely if the VT beats last years model. so basically the elite is nicer, BUT id rather spend more money on the vt and get a bad ass surround sound :)

if you ask about illumination is better if you put some 4300k or 6000k, it brings more light, similar like the sun light but in my personal opinion the 8000k are the more popular or stylish, it depends on your election, and also depends in the brand of the hid. This is the first time I buy kensun hid lights.

but I would not buy the 13000 lumen flashlight. it's nowhere near as bright as my 11000 and mine came with batteries and a charger and was less expensive

From what I can tell the differences are the lumen output of 1038 vs 1200and the color range of light from 3000K vs 4000K with the 3000 being a warmer lightand the 4000 being a cooler whiteThese are the main differences that I see-
