Fenix TK15 R5 Review

From http://www.thephotonshop.co.uk
This is the Fenix TK15. It is amazingly powerful at a maximum of 337 lumens!

Plus for people who own weapons be them actual guns, airsoft, paint ball etc, they have weapon mounts too on the site.

It is the perfect light for longevity and power

Buy a Led Lenser MT7(ore M7) instead and u get a flashlight with very good focus settings and it runs on 4xAAA batteries which you can buy at any gas station. MT7 is cheaper.

@Atzoon I do not like lights that use loads of AA or AAA batteries. I use single AA or AAA lights and all my others are CR123 only because of their reliability and temperature resistance.

[Atzoon]

@techwg just test a Led Lenser and u'll see

[techwg]

@Atzoon I have held an led lenser before and I did not like the feel of the light, especially since it takes multiple AA or AAA batteries. I will never use a light like that. Too bulky using batteries that are not that great.

Jus got mine today cant wait for night fall.

[techwg]

@MrTRP45 What do you think about it now then?

Im a firefighter with this light on my helmet. GREAT illumination. Matches my big D cell maglight. But, tail cap toggle switch failed after high heat. Will now come on with contiuous pressure only......will not toggle on. Gotta buy a new tail cap toggle switch.

Excellent camera resolution in daytime. Shows the fit and finish, knurling and other detail fine. What video camera were you using?

[VTTennis2011]

@Atzoon Led Lenser are unregulated so the light dims. They are overpriced considering they lack this feature which all of the good flashlights have.

[Chambelona59]

There is an 'icon' near the top that has the word "HOT" under it... can someone tell me why that is there an for what purpose??

As "heat" generally is the enemy of any electronic piece of equipment.

Thanks for letting me know why it's there.

NIce, I have the TK12 which I usually keep with me all the time, how heavy is the 15 compared to the 12?

[paintballhead03]

can someone please tell me if they had any loctite or trouble replacing their TK15 tailcap?? my tailcap wont unscrew to replace the boot. IF YOU HAVE ANY AWNSERS PLEASE TELL ME! how did you remove your loctite off any of your lights and is their some tool that i can use because i have used everything in my house to try to unscrew it but cannot.

@20gate a lot of the xp-g R5 LEDs do.

Look into a jetbeam with a R5 there really good and not having the donut hole. I'm getting one this week and wondering if mine will have the donut hole.

[20GATE91]

i heard that this light has a "donut" in the center of the beam. is that true? pictures ive seen dont have it. not sure if its the first batch of tk15's or not

[805Ride1]

great video...i just got my light yesterday after i had watched this video and other reviews...thanks

@Atzoon

I will never buy a LED Lenser again. For me, they are BAD.

Their new ''regulation'' is pretty false too. Isn't powerful either, compared to new XM-L flashlights etc..

I have a 2CR123 light at 900 Out the front lumen at a XM-L LED, the MT7 can't even compare

[123rickhunter]

Having said all that I don't want to buy a 90 dollar flashlight. Plus a charger and cr123s would be around 120. I felt pretty stupid when my dad told me to use two cheap flashlights together against a realy expensive fancy flashlight. Two terralux 180 flashlights can be brighter then a led lenser t7 for 50 bucks and I image brighter then the tk15 or at least very close.

[123rickhunter]

I got the led lenser t7 but i was dissapointed with the design. It just rolls on a table. It can't stand upright for candle mode. Plus in actual real life use. The very focus beam just gives tunnel vision . When the flashlight is on flood. The light is just way to weak for outdoors. If you shoot it at 5 meters away on flood you just see a very blue beam. On flood mode is great for looking at something right on your feet or a couple of meters away.

[Cventures]

@Atzoon they blow.

[Atzoon]

@techwg just test a led lenser and you will like the speed focus function.

[Hipostomus]

@576ito1080p ??? You're right, but You can use a 18650 rechargeable battery as well.

[dodgekicksass505]
