Customer Review

Have decided on the warm light color, making it suitable in the photo to have a light source that can emit light as an incandescent lamp. This is usually always a little weak.

Exactly how the color of light is that I can test with my camera. In 3700 Kelvin did I get good results, which is a very good value, and a warm color corresponds. It has already surprised me how well this can implement the LED. For a bright halogen lighting it's too warm in the color of light. Neutral would be more pronounced at 5500 Kelvin (daylight). That would at Hallogenlamen again to cool. To the precisely aligning color films because needed.

Other test compared to a LD10 of Fenix ​​and P14 of Two Brothers. Since falls compared the warm glow of TN12 in particular. Initially some getting used to, but it should be yes. Those who know only the rather cool LEDs, which will probably be surprised once. Compared with an old Mag with light by incandescent "light color of TN12 is already rather close. It's amazing how the good old Mag is placed in the corner with their 3 mono cells. They may exercise their commitment even in the control cabinet, or act as a deterrent sticks. Everything else can modern LED bulbs better.
In Spot mode compared with the P14 because P14 is brighter. However, the circle of light is also much smaller, and the light output visible on a small spot. The ambient light is missing then completely. Are just two completely different structures. I like the lens system of the P14, if I have to illuminate large, homogeneous surfaces.

The P14 in the wide-angle mode, as you can keep the TN12 with its slightly smaller edge light area at 280lm good but the TN12 has it even the spot area, the further outshines the P14 toward the center mercilessly.

The warmer light of TN12 has advantages as well as green and red portions are better seen. In daylight I TN12 is because in comparison a little too warm in the color of light. Get me the CW version also look more closely.

The TN12 is a really bright flashlight, the spot has a soft and larger diameter compared to the LD10. At full load, the LD10 because the TN12 with 280lm acts already brighter, and can light up more significantly brighter. Certainly not in continuous mode, because they will eventually get too hot. The light reserves are available when it is needed times. Who needs permanently 1000lm, for this lamp is not suitable. The term in the TN12 with 280lm is class.

280 lumens enough all if I need night light. Even that is already brachial light at close range.

Since I also do night photos, because my very small setting very congenial to orient myself. The eyes have they not again adjust to the darkness for a long time.

The charger MCC-2 with 2 shafts is OK and does what it should. Hot, the battery when charging is not with me. (ThruNite - as offered here). Good 7 degrees warmer than the room temperature, which I could identify with an IR instrument.
ADDENDUM: The charger itself over time quite warm, if not the batteries heat up the device, but the device itself is quite warm. Vents were it already makes sense, or a small fan. Therefore better do not charge the batteries heat sensitive surfaces.

I would also recommend protected batteries to use. Because a few more lumen and - the ultimate tease out of a lamp - it is not worth these risks that are associated with it to respond.

We also note once again of me when the lamp head is hot, because should a break be made, or 2 steps downshifting. The difference 800lm to 1000lm is low, so that it is not really worth the TN12 torturing with 1000lm. Because I would have still required a highly visible intermediate. Ideal I would find because 200lm, 400lm, 800lm and because of my still the> 1000lm ... Allerbest would obviously an arbitrary and adjustable brightness gradation. Think this will be exacerbated in the coming generations lamp.

For the price - real hammer, what is there possible. The case is meticulously crafted, the switch has a rich tactile feedback. Not sensitive to small shocks on the housing. Unfortunately, it is not self-evident that the battery contacts as generate an interrupt, where depending on the design because even the light mode is switched.
The battery is fixed by 2 spring elements. The last set light intensity is maintained. The Stobe light can be switched only when the lamp. An SOS would have preferred. For the Stobe light output with high power, no matter how the lamp was set, also from the Glühwürmchenmodus out.

The desired options I can not bring in my recession of course, since it was already clear in advance what to order there. Am already curious as to what may come in the future.

Strong buy recommendation for the whole set, when the functions of the TN12 sufficient. If the TN12 Recommend without hesitation in my circle.
