Actually, to the comment below about Fenix being inferior, is not true. Once in a while everything has the potential to break. A lot depends on use and care. And also batteries. Mine is still nice and clean and seems very dependable, and I have dropped it, used it in the snow, clearing a tree out of the road while the snow was flying, and the strobe on the TK35 warned traffic a long way off. For the money vs lumens, TK35 all the way! :) I have had it since last year. No problems. Great review :)
your compairing an incandesant to an led........ really. its ok to be an asshole and and send money over seas to an inferior product i have a fenix ld20 with a shitty tail cap. i cant believe people trust their life on junk like that
Thanks for the very informative and visual review! I am looking to get a Fenix light and came across your reviews. Absolutely love your setup in the dark with real reference markers and distances. Definitely one of the best reviews I have seen. Keep up the fantastic work!
nice to see someone calling out surefire on their overpriced lights, they were the standard but let their arrogance and "tactical" status price themselves right out of the edc market.Talk about resting on your laurels!! these Fenix lights seem to good to be true!!! i just purchased a bunch of smaller ones for carry and e15 is amazing for under 2 inches!!! great review!!!
Very very very nice review my friend has the tk35 and I have the BC40 from jetbeam two very good companies but I gota tell ya I'm big time into flashlighs as well and technology has changed so much in ten years you should check my vids out I think you'll like em :)
@weaponseducation That's cool! Just goes to show that Surefire will always be behind in output compared to other brands, since their highest output light-the invictus only puts out 800 lumens.
@QuiksiIver I recently purchased a LD20 and I would like to know the weak point of it, what part of your flashlight broke, the driver or the led itself?
@newhuskytwenty the circumstances of the breakage were unusual. I was at high altitude in a cold environment.
I had the light hanging from a branch by its lanyard, and the white diffuser tip on, and running it on Turbo. Once I didn't need much light I went to twist the bezel, and it flashed Turbo/Off/Turbo/Off/Turbo/Off and then never came back on.
Perhaps moisture got onto the driver surface. I don't know.
Son of the Bitch Fexin TK-70, Design this stupid Kick down power mode which only can last 5 sec only.
Why could this happen for Fenix TK70, Why got such stupid kick down 5 sec power down timer problem for TK-70 in Turbo Mode? Why "2200Lumen" can only hold for 5 sec & then later drop down to 1480Lumen.
From Top1 in list for 5 sec & then later drop down to Below Olight SR-92 standard. Why u want to do that stupid power down mode in 5 sec inside TK-70 & cheat us all? Why!
I don't think your camera did these flashlights justice. It is hard to get a grasp on just how bright they really are! I was also a surefire fan and have switched to Fenix. I hope surefire gets their act together, but until they do, Fenix is a great alternative.
@jermwhl Yea, his camera isn't doing the lights justice. Fenix makes great lights for the money but they're not very reliable. I've been a huge flash-o-holic for years and even though I love 4Sevens, Fenix, JetBeam, and O'Light, I still only use SureFire lights while deployed or on duty. I've had my Fenix TK21 fail, Fenix LD20 fail, Fenix PD30 fail, and a 4Sevens AA2 Tactical fail. I still use and carry both Fenix & 4Sevens when camping but when on duty, I use SureFire.
I started getting good flashlights last year. 1st got a Fenix LD20 premium R4 2aa- 210 lumens, then a ZL H501 flood- 1aa- 96lm, then a TK45- 760lm, then a Quark AA S2- 130lm or so, then 2aa tube for Quark.. 180 ANSI lm, then a Preon 2 S2 2aaa penlight-160lm! All great lights. Love the TK45. Great vid!!
Awesome video. Thank you very much. I was looking a getting the surefire M3 no way after seeing your video. Im going with the TK15 for carry and TK35 for the house. Thank you again.
I understand your comparison on price, but your comparing brand new led lights to 10 year old incandescent lights, some of the new led surefires are expensive, but they can stand up to the fenix for brightness, but not on price. you can buy 3-4 tk35 for one 800 lumen surefire.

Fenix TK70 Protection 5-10 sec Kick in & Drop Turbo output to below Olight SR-92 (1,700Lumen) standard.
At most product 1,300-1,400Lumen. Way too below Olight SR-92 standard. :(
Why irritating, frustrating people & make people very Unhappy, Upsad of this Protection 5-10 sec Kick in & Drop Turbo output issue!!!
Fenix TK70 Major Flaw.

I had a Fenix LD20, Fenix LD05, and Fenix LD01.
The Fenix LD20 died, the Fenix LD05 died, and I gifted the Fenix LD01.
I only use Surefire and HDS Systems lights now.
They may not be as bright, but they haven't died on me.

It was in a very remote area (4 days from a road)

@newhuskytwenty it is a great light, but do not make the mistake of thinking it is as durable as a SureFire/Malkoff/HDS Systems/Elzetta light.

I dont think its fair to compare incandescent technology to LED technology.
incandescent is not as bright, drains much more power, and but gives better colors.
Thats all they had at the time.
I think Surefire's new stuff is still great.
