Got my TK40 in, and just wanted to give a quick look at it.

  • Not to be an ass but, almost 11 minutes of my life gone and you don't even show the beam?

  • The beam doesn't show up in video. I would have to do a long exposure on a camera to capture it.

  • Is there anything brighter on the market that uses double a batteries?

  • No, at least at the time of this review. To get brighter, you will have to buy a light that used CR123 or 18650 cells.

  • I have the TK 40 comin and was told not to use lithium batteries. Is there a chance of damaging it with those kind?

  • Yes. You can cause damage to the light using lithium cells. I guess I just got lucky. I used up the full life of those lithium cells and had no repercussions. I now use Sanyo Eneloop NIMH cells.

    Oh that "thing"...

    It's basically a modded out maglite that sets fire to leaves at like 3 inches away? *sarcasm*omg uber cool!*sarcasm*

    and wicked lasers is a scam.

    The "Porch" light as it is now commonly called is that thing that little kids scream for their parents to buy them.

  • The Aurora SH-40 Luminus SST-50 beats the shit out of this Fenix light for around $60 !

  • @abodiginal69 Sure you can... but they don't run on AA batteries :) that's why this light is so sweet.

  • @fryop Definitely use just NiMh rechargeables or alkaline. Lithiums put out a little bit more power which wouldn't be a problem with most lights, but when you get 8 of them that bit of extra power adds up... I guess it could possibly damage the circuits.

    With something like a LD20 it's fine.

    Definitely a nice light. It's one of my dream-lights to get right now lol. I like it better than the TK45.

  • Great impartial review. However, you are now probably looking to buy the TK45? Slightly less throw but the TK40 cannot compete with the extra brightness the TK45 brings.

  • haha in love with a fucking torch ahha it sounded funny.

    But did you know you can buy a torch with over 4000 lumens of power.. Search "wicked lasers" and you'll find it. It costs over 300 dollars though..

  • One of the best lights to come out of Fenix. I just did a video beamshot of it.
