Forget the beams, look at the difference in hand grip. By golly, you people are RIGHT! The TK40 is a "man's" flashlight!

Oh yea... that's what I'm talking about. I knew this one would rock. So glad to have pre-ordered!

Thank you Mr. Bunyon. Another county heard from. And, how is Babe?
Of course you are right. But, just how many folk have a handfull of 18650s? I can see why Fenix is using the AA battery: customers.
Reminds me of a story. I was milling around Old Faithful after dinner and drinks in the Lodge. It was a dark night and others were walking about the geyser area as well. I turned on my much-loved Fenix 5 mode blah blah to light up some of the geyser cone. Within seconds 5-6 other lights came on, all seemed much brighter, and we spent the next few minutes working the various levels, often at some distance from each other, in a display of candlepower. The TK40 would have drawn a crowd larger than those viewing the most famous geyser in the world.

Thanks for the link Oregon.
Looking at the specs tab on PTS, it can take lithium primaries as well, which to me is a very good thing. Thats what, 8 x 1.75V, 14V............a little less sag than alkalines, and lithiums don't have a problem leaking, at least I have never had a problem with them.
Engrpaul, you see this? Our question has been answered, apparently we don't need a dummy cell...:twothumbs

WOW..That battery carrier looks like it will break any minute :thumbsdow
Too bad, the light looks nice...

Thanks for pointing that out!
I am also concerned about the battery carrier. It could be that's a prototype or a modified version of a carrier for something else.
I would also assume the production version doesn't have tape around it with "TK40" printed on it.

What's interesting is it actually says NEW TK40 on it, so is there an OLD TK40?

Other than the tape is it a tk40 at all?

take that back...looking at it without the tailcap.
just a fragile illusion cuz it looks like glass..just pretend its black plastic so in your mind it appears robust 
wheres 47s already:mecry: ....we have size, max output, pics and even BEAMSHOTS but no specs...is it "M" bin MCE, what are the other levels /output & runtime expectations?
