Nice to see a fenix fan, will you be getting the TK70? 2200 ANSI lumens.

@yifuj I just got one, I'll be doing a review on it!

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 I'll redo this video, it was one of my first, Thank you, Tom

the tk35 looks great! Affordable too! Great Vid. I'm just now getting into flashlights and you've sold me on the Fenix line.

@speedEjonzalez The TK 35 is a must have. Thank you

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!!!

Looks like I won't be buying another surefire. After my E2D Led Defender I need more power!

Hey buddy!

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 :)

@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.
