Fenix TK11 Q5 LED Flashlight Black Aluminum Body Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My short answer is if you don't have a need to use the 18650 battery, then get the TK10.

I just bought three Fenix flashlights, including a TK11, and it is the one I regret.It was meant to replace my 1998 Surefire 6P with Cree drop-in.I narrowed my choices down to the TK10 and TK11 and so I asked someone "which I should get between the two."He suggested I get the TK11 since it could take the 18650 battery.Okay, so that's what I did.

When I got it in my hands and had some time to play with it, I realized all the things I didn't like about it, the TK10 didn't have.First off, I don't really care for the ring used for the cigar hold and it catches on things, although I am getting used to it.I know it just comes off, but unlike the TK10, there is no replacement band to prevent damage to the treads or getting crud on the O-ring.Perhaps not a big deal, but I intend to use it in the field alot and it is subject to drops in the wilderness.

Next, I think I am disappointed in the beam artifacts.I am not such a picky dude, but it does not seem as nice as my Cree drop-in for the 6p.Okay, again not a big deal.The TK10 is said to have a different reflector which has a nicer beam.I'll have to perhaps just let that one go.

Then, there is the cooling fins.Like the ring, they catch on stuff like the case and I bet if I drop it in the mud, it's gonna be hard to clean, most irritating.And they look ugly to me.The TK10 does not have them.

I did not think getting a supply of 18650 batteries would be so difficult here since several of my co-workers have them, but when I try, it's really a pain in the butt.As it turns out, [...], which I don't plan to do, so the 18650 feature is not so beneficial to me.

Oh, and at the time I bought the TK11, the TK10 was nine dollars less.

Overall, the TK11 is a solid and good flashlight, I just wish I had bought the TK10 instead.

Fenix TK11R2 2 Level High Performance Cree LED Flashlight, Black, 6- Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this light around 6 months ago. I also purchased two 18650 rechargable 3.7 volt Li-ion protected batteries. I have only had to recharge the batteries once since the initial charge in this timeframe. I work nights as a police officer and use this light all of the time around half of an hour several days a week. I also own a Novatac 120T, Blackhawk Gladius and Surefire 6p as well as many other lights. This has been the most battery efficient tactical light I have ever owned, as all the others eat the CR 123 batteries like candy.

The beam is a combination of flood light and spot. It works excellent for searching having a combination of both beams. I highly recommend this light as it costs much less and outperforms any of my other lights. The light appears to be well made and feels very sturdy in your hand.

Fenix LD10R4 132- lumen R4 LED Flashlight Including 4 AA Batteries With Charger 2900mah Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I work in the firearms industry and am a avid competition shooter. I purchased the LD10 as my every day carry flashlight. I don't think the size and brightness can be beat. I wanted a small light with a pocket clip that could be worn pointed downwards. That way when drawn it is oriented correctly in my hand. Lots of things to like about the light but here are my two concerns regarding it's use as a tactical light and really they are both from the same issue.

When you depress the tail cap button the light locks to the on mode (beam of light), pressing the tail cap button again turns it off, pressing it a 3rd time puts it in strobe, pressing it a 4th time turns in off. Recently at a low light/no light handgun match this is what I experienced. I have many hours of muscle memory training where I pulse the light only when needed to shoot or search a room. I do not leave the light constant on as that would be a tactical mistake letting every bad guy in range know exactly where I was and what I was looking at. By pulsing the light it is very disorienting to any threats trying to track me. So the issue is using my flashlight technique I was not pulsing the light. What I was doing is turing it on, then turning it off, then putting it on strobe, etc. It just did not work for me and I was fighting the light on top of shooting. I still won the match so it was not a huge deal but I really don't feel like re-training my muscle memory on how to use this flashlight. On a related note because the button is not a mometary on when you accidently depress it while it's in your pocket it locks itself to the on or strobe position. Thus you might run down your batteries not knowing it, or at the very least create a bright spot through your pants which can be somewhat embarrassing.

Until I figure this out I am going back to my surefire flashlight.

Depress the tail cap button to turn the light on and turn the bezel to select the mode. A fully tightened bezel will select Turbo Mode, and a loosened bezel will select General Mode. Soft-pressing the tail cap button while the light is on will change the output level of the selected mode. Turn the light off for over two seconds and the regulative circuit will be reset.
