Which light do you recommend using on an AR15 between the TA20 (simliar to the 21) or the TK15 if you have any experience with it? Fenix website says the TA20 is the ideal weapon light but the TK15 to me seems a little more lighter/compact than the TA20 but mainly easier to switch through the light modes and higher max lumen since the TA20 gets pretty tough some time to twist the bezel with one hand. But can the TK15 handle recoil and hard use on an AR15 as the TA20?
So, I have been trying to find a light and after watching this review I really wanted the TA30. However as you said, it is no longer in production as it was replaced with the TA20. Is it still possible to obtain a TA30 from somewhere? I need the extra length of the light.
Darn you Nutn! Making me spend money every time i watch your vids lolll! I bought the TA21 half way through this video :D Can't wait to get it!!! Awesome videos man! Keep up the excellent work!! Before i ever buy anything, your the first person who i go to, to check out the reviews and test. You have never failed us!
Does anybody know if the TA 21 when used with a pressure switch (ar 102) has a a constant on feature with it still, like the surefire millennium? For instance, I could use the pressure switch intermittently when clearing rooms with low light, but then if I needed to hold a hallway for 20 or 30 minutes I could click a button for constant on. Does it have that capability? Thank you in advance.
@joshmarauder Well these kinds of videos are pretty much for those who are really looking hard to get a great item. And reviews like these bring out MANY of the details you look for. So for some a long video like this is really good.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
38 minutes for 2 flashlight reviews? Are you fucking insane? Just make a list of pros and cons and demonstrate both lights and don't waste people time. Only idiots would watch this video in it's entirety.
@DeviousBetrayer Nutn spends a lot of time working out the details and testing the gear he reviews. He's VERY thorough. If you don't like it, don't watch...but don't expect us to follow rude and uninformed "advice" like your comment. What you're doing here is simple trolling. Grow up. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)
@nutnfancy Just to be a dick, you should make your next light vid an hour long. on one flashlight, and make it a FisherPrice flashlight from Toys R Us.
Waste people time? YOU are fucking insane. Nobody forces you to watch any video on youtube. This is entertainment and it's absolutely free. If you don't like it stay away from youtube.
@Haik000 Dude, I love it. nice and bright. Bought for a weapon light, liked it so much i"ve been carrying it everyday since I got it as my work light. I work graveyard and the different brightness settings are perfect. Low when indoors in some light; high when outdoors or when i need to see something high in the ceiling. The strobes are great for keeping track of workers out in the dark or getting attention. I'm going to buy a second one as a weapon light. Great buy in my opinion!!
I'm not going to list Maglites because they are no better than than ones you can get for $10. And the Minimags are just unreliable. That stupid focusing head is what screws them up. One decent beam would have been better than variable beams with a lot of dark spots.
I have owned the TA21 for about a year now. Great flashlight, i have used it for a variety of applications. I have used it as a weapon light on my AR. Great advice from Nuntn
I bought a ta21 based on this review a year ago and it has served me well ever since. I'm far more pleased with it than with any of my Surefire lights. Very much a high value product.
Sorry if this has been said before but you shouldn't use two different batteries together like you're doing in the TA30; assuming the same internal resistance they will drain at a similar rate so the smaller one will be empty long before the big one. With protected batteries it's not as bad (increased wear on the small one tho) but without it you will reverse charge the smaller battery which is very dangerous with Li-ions, the chance of it exploding after doing this isn't negligible. Be careful!
@Kylef7735 yea lets say you leave the head facing down there will be some light leakage so you can tell its on so you dont overheat it cause i kno if you face it down it gets hotter way quicker and you could easily burn out an led
Man....what a review! Awesome job by someone really using the light. The enthusiasm alone sold me on the TA21 which I will be orderring in no time flat. First-rate review!
I hope you get hired and paid for this stuff. If you do.....keep doing it!!
My 2¢ (CAD). I have owned and used a TK12 for about a year(EDC). It is hands down the best tactical light I have owned. I have been carrying one make or the other for at least twenty years including Mag Surefire and Streamlight. Surefire is the only one that has come close. Excellent build, function and reliability.
I got one of these lights and I mounted it to my AR. AWESOME light, and as always great review. I literally bought the light right after seeing this review. Keep them coming Nutn. Good stuff.
the fenix lights are awesome thanks for introducing them to TNP! Ive been testing mine for a year and the only bad think about it is the finish tends to chip if you drop it. I would really recommend them as an alternative to surefire weapon lights as well (maybe not these 2 though)!
Excellent review!! I got to admit... at first I thought this was going to be a long drawn out video, but it turned out to be very informative and gave me the answers I was looking for about the Fenix TA21. Great job and I hope you continue doing your reviews.
I have a few to say. As an Auto repair technican working with 5 people. One tech owns this light. But everyone reaches for my streamlight c4 led.You as a pontential buyer understand that. I may have to buy them their own.
I've had my Fenix TA21 for about 2 months now and love it! The only problem is that mine will not tail stand. The on/off switch sticks out further than other ones I have seen. Not sure why this is

@bmx65 I don't know if its still going on or not but at one time there was actually an organized "voting down" of Nutn's videos happening. We were sent a copy of the "flyer" that went around advising people to do it, who was behind it, etc. Not surprisingly, we knew who was instigating it. We call them "hyenas". They call themselves "the real gun community". :D
@nutnfancy It wasn't the GunWebsites following was it?
Cause I commented on a GunWebsites Silencerco video where they did their form of "through" reviewing, a full 3 mins and 52 seconds lol, that ((full quote)) "Your late Nutnfancy did a much more thorough 50min review over 2 months ago with 70k in views :3". A rivalrous jest of course but from their reactions you would have thought I drowned a puppy lol. Was there a preexisting feud I was unaware of?
Does anyone know of a colored filter for the TA21? I dont know if the Fenix Filter will fit the TA21, if so, let me know, if not, tell me of some that WILL fit it. Also, when it comes to filter colors (Red or Green), which color is better for things like: keeping your eyes to night vision, penetrating fog, and keeping a low profile (Green makes sence for the last one)
Great reviews nutn, the TA21 and 30 truly are top of the line. Check out the new TK30 and also the TA21 at the website: FenixOutfitters. Great prices and a lot of cool gear.

Hey Nutn. Great videos, man. I really appreciate what you do and all the work you dedicate to your project. I've purchased four of the Fenix lights based on your reviews/recommendations. TK10, LD20, PD30, TA21. Also have the SureFire Kroma (non-military spec). Keep up the good work, PLEASE! Lol.
Your not the only one. I have lost a surefire at least 5 times. It shows up after a couple of months and in one instance a year. Never had an issue with my other lights. Just the surefire.
i know some flashlights come with pouches such as the ultrafire WF-500, its a 500 lumen flashlight. Right now i have a 225 Lumen Surefire M961 CREE LED Flashlight.
just an idea for you, mabie at the start of your video you could make a contents with annotation links to certain sections in the video so that people that only need a small amount of information dont have to watch the whole video?
Awesome recommendation .. bought 2 TA21 Currently involved in Private Security .. Love the Tactical advantages: brightness levels (awesome in the woods and long range beam throw) also nice key-bo like usage.
Another great review. I've been using Fenix lights now for four years and love them. I started out with an LD10. After 3.5 years of everyday use, it started acting up (would come on once... then wouldn't come on again for several minutes). So I upgraded to the LD20. It is nice, but a bit big for an EDC in my opinion. I've got a TA21 on my list of things to get for my BOB... will get it this summer. I'm sold on Fenix as a company and love the products! Great review!
I just won the TA21! ;D Then I immediately rushed over to Lighthound and bought a pair of AW 18650 flat-tops and a charger for like $40! Awesome prices, and their service! Oh my, I can't wait for that light, or the AW's, i'll most likely go insane before I receive either.. Thanks a bunch for another great review Nutn, this one really helped easen out the waiting time a bit, amost like holding the light myself.. :)
Left out another critical light user category-firefighters- just pointing that out, mabye in the future extreme heat could be part of construction or something like that. Great review though. Hopefully im gonna be getting this light and a surfire of the same lumen count, and do a comparison review. 5/5 Nutn keep up the great videos!
I finally got my TA21. Love it. However, the specific onte I received has the click switch exposed thus it cannot stand on upright. I contacted Fenix about the difference in the design models and will let you guys know what they say. Almost a deal breaker for me- but the light rocks!
Fenix rep indicated that the only production model they have in place is the one with the exposed clicker switch. So, that's a big deal for you, then I would verify first with a seller which model they have. I was able to purchase on off ebay that had the recessed clicker switch.
Does anyone out there know does the TA20 give any notice when the batteries are low? does it flicker or indicate somehow when the batteries are out or does it just stop working? thanks
i think they discontinued the ta30. Really sad because I just lost mine in the field. I found it a few places online so i guess I'll be keeping close tabs on it and protecting it like a child this time.
Nutnfancy paired a 17670 with a 16340 cell. Recipe for disaster! Try this without protected cells and watch em' explode! The higher capacity cell will reverse charge the lower capacity cell and will result in catastrophic failure including venting with flame. If you must try this use only AW brand LiIon cells like Nutnfacy does in the video. Never mix new and used cells in multi cell lights and never mix cell types or chemistry. Please annotate your video to warn others of this risk potential.
Just picked up a PD30 and it's amazing so far. Can't wait to test it out in the outdoors. Not sure why I can't rate the vid, but as usual 5 Stars! Great work Nutn, keep 'em coming!
Are these Ideal for assult Rifle's ? I just got word I can customize my M4A1 last night. I do tons of night patrols and need a better light than the standard military one. Any thoughts?
Great review. Bought a LD20 not long ago based on your reviews of Fenix and couldn't be happier. I preffer the price point of AA batts, and using this at work, wow... it throws some serious light. Keep up the great work.
My friend had one of these (TA21 or TA30 not exactly sure). He said he liked it a lot but it got confiscated at the airport because the TSA agent considered the strike bezel to be a weapon.
Just a caveat to you guys. I think flashlight makers should include a interchangeable non-crenelated bezel with these lights so that users won't run into trouble like this.
Just can't get over the HD video. Have been looking to replace my duty light for a while. So, I'm thankful for the review. Looks like I'll be picking up a TA30 for duty uses. Again, thanks for all the TNP hard work. Be safe & watch your SIX......
25:00 This is what keeps me away from the fenix lights! Unfortunately in my opinion, they have so many modes,which get in the way of finding the one you want quickley ...
AWESOME review though ... is there a Zebralight review coming up?
This also isn't a post against Nutn, as I trust his word. The web site has GREAT prices, i just think that calling them first would be a good idea. Their web site is NOT accurate fo on-hand counts. Keep up the videos NUTN. I love 'em!
I was explaining that I purchased a TA21 from NUTN's recommended site, Yourcornerstore . com, on Nove. 25. The website said they had 2 on hand, then 1 on hand after I ordered my 1. Makes sense until I called today wondering where it was. The guy on the phone said, "Could take 30 days, or 120 days, sir. I just don't know". Call them before you order!!! This isn't a post against YCS, just a recommendation.
You think $95 is expensive for a light like that? Strap yourelf in and take a look at Surefire then. Rounghly 3 times the price for the same amount of lumens. All because its 'Made In USE'
PD 20 weighs 2 oz with 1 3 volt battery. 3.25 inches long... .75 wide. 9 lumens to 190 with up to 35 hrs. run time on low. 9 48, 96 and 190 lumens with S.O.S. and disorienting strobe....awsome edc.
Anyone ever had to have a fenix light fixed.I have been trying get a hold of fenix for almost a a week.The service sucks.I have A L1D and a p 3 that only work on high mode.I use my lights and had both for about a month or so before they stopped working on the ramp modes.
Just replaced my Fenix T1 with a smaller more powerful Fenix PD 30, best flashlight iv'e ever owned. several modes great build quality, 230 Lumens serious power for such a small light.
Great review. I've been looking to pick up a few more flashlights to round out my gear selection.... definitely gonna give these a look-see. And thank you for referring to yourcornerstore.... a great resource. Thanks, nutn!
nice lights but i have a feeling the emitter's are about to get a major upgrade so im going to wait on those there starting to use the cree xpg R5's in some lights i think these are next in line 2 steps up
I dig the 18650 capability of the TA21. That's why I won't buy a tk12. I like my rechargeable batteries with the option of using primary batteries as backups.
Turns, there are plenty of those 3-5 minute flashlight reviews online...god knows why you didn't find one of them instead of whining over here. He is an IN DEPTH reviewer, if you want someone clicking a flashlight on and off, shining it around the yard, into their mouth, or worse..seek elsewhere. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)
Thank you for your great reviews! They have been very very useful to me! A vew minutes ago I purchased a Fenix TA30... Finally going on to the modern age of flashlight-tecnology upgrading from my old 3D Cell MagLite!
great job nutn!!! you do amazing work!!! all your vids are of great quality content and just fun to watch! your one of if not thee best reviewer i'v seen!!! you ROCK!!! keep it up man.
Another great review, I love the intro music. These lights have a very busy design to them. I prefer the more simple design of something like the L1D/L2D. The TA21/TA30 seem light great lights with more functionality though.
New music and we think it just ROCKS! That's original stuff by ElDudio, he's got a channel here on YouTube. Much more to come from him...very talented dude. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)
I just checked the Surfire Website and Fenix as well. I compared prices and the Fenix, I find is superior. Lets compare a Higher model Surfire to a TA30
Compare the E2D LED Defender-(150$ High mode is 200 L Low is 5 L) to the Fenix TA30(91$ Strobe 230 L High 225 L, Medium 60 L, low 9 L)
To boot the Low on both run times are Surfire (76 Hours) Fenix (115 Hours)
Don't take it as a attack, take it as a argument to find the truth.
It all depends on your POU (Nutnfancy always talks about it), The TA30 can go underwater and be used as a defensive tool and take punishment to boot, I know the A10 can't do any of that. It's more then just a "flash light" it's "thee flash light." used for a person who need a hardcore flash light.
It works just fine under water. O-rings seal it up good. Also has the crowned top for bashing people. All in a lighter more compact package. I'd rather use my knife for self defense indtead of ANY flashlight though.
You can find UltraFire branded lights on dealextreme that are just as good as the Fenix lights for a fraction of the price. They use the same high output emmitters such as MC-E and XRE-Q5 and are digitally regulated but cost way way less.
Which light do you recommend using on an AR15 between the TA20 (simliar to the 21) or the TK15 if you have any experience with it? Fenix website says the TA20 is the ideal weapon light but the TK15 to me seems a little more lighter/compact than the TA20 but mainly easier to switch through the light modes and higher max lumen since the TA20 gets pretty tough some time to twist the bezel with one hand. But can the TK15 handle recoil and hard use on an AR15 as the TA20?

Does anyone know of a colored filter for the TA21? I dont know if the Fenix Filter will fit the TA21, if so, let me know, if not, tell me of some that WILL fit it. Also, when it comes to filter colors (Red or Green), which color is better for things like: keeping your eyes to night vision, penetrating fog, and keeping a low profile (Green makes sence for the last one)
Please Reply
- Thanks

Great reviews nutn, the TA21 and 30 truly are top of the line. Check out the new TK30 and also the TA21 at the website: FenixOutfitters. Great prices and a lot of cool gear.

Hey Nutn. Great videos, man. I really appreciate what you do and all the work you dedicate to your project. I've purchased four of the Fenix lights based on your reviews/recommendations. TK10, LD20, PD30, TA21. Also have the SureFire Kroma (non-military spec). Keep up the good work, PLEASE! Lol.

Your not the only one. I have lost a surefire at least 5 times. It shows up after a couple of months and in one instance a year. Never had an issue with my other lights. Just the surefire.

i know some flashlights come with pouches such as the ultrafire WF-500, its a 500 lumen flashlight. Right now i have a 225 Lumen Surefire M961 CREE LED Flashlight.

Another great review. I've been using Fenix lights now for four years and love them. I started out with an LD10. After 3.5 years of everyday use, it started acting up (would come on once... then wouldn't come on again for several minutes). So I upgraded to the LD20. It is nice, but a bit big for an EDC in my opinion. I've got a TA21 on my list of things to get for my BOB... will get it this summer. I'm sold on Fenix as a company and love the products! Great review!
kermit4161 1 year ago
I just won the TA21! ;D Then I immediately rushed over to Lighthound and bought a pair of AW 18650 flat-tops and a charger for like $40! Awesome prices, and their service! Oh my, I can't wait for that light, or the AW's, i'll most likely go insane before I receive either.. Thanks a bunch for another great review Nutn, this one really helped easen out the waiting time a bit, amost like holding the light myself.. :)

Left out another critical light user category-firefighters- just pointing that out, mabye in the future extreme heat could be part of construction or something like that. Great review though. Hopefully im gonna be getting this light and a surfire of the same lumen count, and do a comparison review. 5/5 Nutn keep up the great videos!

Another great vid review:)
I finally got my TA21. Love it. However, the specific onte I received has the click switch exposed thus it cannot stand on upright. I contacted Fenix about the difference in the design models and will let you guys know what they say. Almost a deal breaker for me- but the light rocks!
rdclutch 1 year ago
Fenix rep indicated that the only production model they have in place is the one with the exposed clicker switch. So, that's a big deal for you, then I would verify first with a seller which model they have. I was able to purchase on off ebay that had the recessed clicker switch.

Does anyone out there know does the TA20 give any notice when the batteries are low? does it flicker or indicate somehow when the batteries are out or does it just stop working? thanks

Nutnfancy paired a 17670 with a 16340 cell. Recipe for disaster! Try this without protected cells and watch em' explode! The higher capacity cell will reverse charge the lower capacity cell and will result in catastrophic failure including venting with flame. If you must try this use only AW brand LiIon cells like Nutnfacy does in the video. Never mix new and used cells in multi cell lights and never mix cell types or chemistry. Please annotate your video to warn others of this risk potential.

My friend had one of these (TA21 or TA30 not exactly sure). He said he liked it a lot but it got confiscated at the airport because the TSA agent considered the strike bezel to be a weapon.
Just a caveat to you guys. I think flashlight makers should include a interchangeable non-crenelated bezel with these lights so that users won't run into trouble like this.

I was explaining that I purchased a TA21 from NUTN's recommended site, Yourcornerstore . com, on Nove. 25. The website said they had 2 on hand, then 1 on hand after I ordered my 1. Makes sense until I called today wondering where it was. The guy on the phone said, "Could take 30 days, or 120 days, sir. I just don't know". Call them before you order!!! This isn't a post against YCS, just a recommendation.

You think $95 is expensive for a light like that? Strap yourelf in and take a look at Surefire then. Rounghly 3 times the price for the same amount of lumens. All because its 'Made In USE'
Over-rated crap if you ask me.

It would be capable to actuate the rotating switch with one hand, if the light were mounted on a firearm. =D
That's the first think I thought when I saw the TA21, I want to throw it on a AR or something of that sort.

deusness 2 years ago
I just checked the Surfire Website and Fenix as well. I compared prices and the Fenix, I find is superior. Lets compare a Higher model Surfire to a TA30
Compare the E2D LED Defender-(150$ High mode is 200 L Low is 5 L) to the Fenix TA30(91$ Strobe 230 L High 225 L, Medium 60 L, low 9 L)
To boot the Low on both run times are Surfire (76 Hours) Fenix (115 Hours)
Don't take it as a attack, take it as a argument to find the truth.

Just get an ultrafire A10 for $15.00...Gets 220 lumens (Q5 emitter digitally regulated) for an hour and a half off of a single AA.
scuds03 2 years ago
It all depends on your POU (Nutnfancy always talks about it), The TA30 can go underwater and be used as a defensive tool and take punishment to boot, I know the A10 can't do any of that. It's more then just a "flash light" it's "thee flash light." used for a person who need a hardcore flash light.
snipurs 2 years ago
It works just fine under water. O-rings seal it up good. Also has the crowned top for bashing people. All in a lighter more compact package. I'd rather use my knife for self defense indtead of ANY flashlight though.

You can find UltraFire branded lights on dealextreme that are just as good as the Fenix lights for a fraction of the price. They use the same high output emmitters such as MC-E and XRE-Q5 and are digitally regulated but cost way way less.
