Fenix TK15

[Principal Skinr]

I received a Fenix TK15 flash light today. Wow, what a stinking bright light! So far, I'm impressed with the quality of it, and I like the dimmer button on the side. The belt clip works very well, too. I picked it up from Fenixoutfitters.com for around 80 bucks. It has a little bit of a donut hole in the light pattern, but the hole is not dark, so it isn't an issue. The strobe, combined with the brightest setting, looks like it could cause someone a seizure!

I'll comment more as I use it for awhile. All in all, it seems to be a great value. Fenix Outfitters told me that mine was the first one they received and shipped, so there's probably not too much info out there about them yet.

A TK15!!! Nice torch. Sniff, sniff... I'm still using a TK10!!! Time to get some new lumens around here.

Just picked up a PD20. Stupid bright for it's size (I think 130 lumens or something for one CR123 at 1hr run time). Only wish it had a momentary switch function, should have read the details better. Nonetheless a great light and you are right, the strobe on the Fenix lights is sick!

I just got a TK12, trying to decide if it should live on the AR or the Saiga.

Way interested in your observations!

My TK12 has a slight donut hole. Curious how your observations compare other lights to yours.

Very nice! I just picked up a PD30 at the last 1500 and am really loving it!! Now I just gotta decide on which one I want next!

Mine has a slight dounghnut as well... it's only noticeable at close range, it seems to smooth out past 20 feet or so. The flashaholics on http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/index.php? seem to think it's a by-product of the led emitter. It doesn't bother me and I really don't notice it unless I really look for it. YMMV.

The "hole" I saw in the lingering after effects of strobing myself was vividly square and took a few minutes to finally disappear.

I have an official statement:

Peer pressure is an ugly but powerful force.

That is all.

You get a tracking number yet?

 

[rhino]

yeah.

Bastiches!

I'm curious how likely it is to inadvertently hit the dimmer switch on the side? I mean like when you're holding in an indexed position with your thumb on the main switch.

I was about to pick up a TK12 when I saw this thread. I really like the light modes of the TK15. Where are you guys ordering from?

I told Rhino he's going to need a large U-Haul truck for just his flashlights whenever he moves.

I get mine from 4Sevens - 4Sevens.Com. If you go to that site, look at their (4Sevens) line of lights; I've had really good results with the "Quark" line. I'm sure there are other sources, but you can use the code "CPF8" and get 8% off your order. If that code doesn't work, just search for it (a new one) in CandlePowerForums - Powered by vBulletin? but it's always worked for me.

mmm.... torch envy

I really need a 'good' everyday light sounds like I need to check out the TK15.

I really like the low power settings along with a usable defense light option. Makes it possible to use as a EDC light with no compromise.
