    Fenix TK11 staying "on"??? Help!

    Thanks for the pointer! For some reason (maybe because I'm not that . . . bright . . .), I couldn't find anything using the search inside of the forums, but when I Googled from outside, I found links to topics here that addressed the issue. Go figure. Thanks again!

    Fenix TK11 staying "on"??? Help!

    Thanks for the reponse! That was the initial suggestion from the vendor, which I tried. It didn't help. They have already shipped the internal parts of the tailcap to me, so I think I'll be good to go in a few days when that arrives.

    Fenix TK11 staying "on"??? Help!

    Apologies if this has been addressed in another topic. I did some searching, but didn't see anything that was obviously about my problem. If there is such a topic, a pointer/link would be appreciated. Okay . . . last week I was bragging to a buddy that I had a brande new TK11 on the way (the...

    Managing NiMH AA batteries with a Fenix TK20

    Thanks for all of the feedback, guys. It is most appreciated. I'm also going to do some research at batteryuniversity when I have time so I can be a bit more fluent when I ask my questions! The LSD thing is interesting and something I have not considered. I was focused solely on the total...

    Managing NiMH AA batteries with a Fenix TK20

    Thanks for the advice. This is my first foray into rechargeables that has lasted past the first try. You are correct that most of my batteries are Energizer 2500 mA-h. I now have four Titanium 2700 mA-h that I snagged from BatteryJunction recently. Do you (and anyone else) have a charger...

    Managing NiMH AA batteries with a Fenix TK20

    Okay . . . I've decided to save my AA lithium batteries for my my EOTech, and since my Fenix TK20 is going to be my primary utility light, I'm going to use rechargeable AA in it. Here's my question (and be patient if this has been addressed a billion times here; I try to search as much as...

    Attention: LEO's using TK11

    I'm glad to hear you're interested in low light training. I've had the good fortune to have a significant amount, mostly in 3-day pistol and carbine classes that featured night shoots. That has been compromised lately because Indiana now does daylight saving time, so it doesn't get dark enough...

    Attention: LEO's using TK11

    Okay ... I think I understand better now. I've never carried a light on my belt with the lens pointed upward. All of the techniques I've learned for using a light with my pistola use an icepick type of grip with the thumb on the tailswitch, so I've always carried lens downward on my belt.

    Attention: LEO's using TK11

    I'm not sure I understand your question ... do you refer to which direction your hand is moving when it makes contact with the light? If that's the case, it doesn't matter to me which direction, as I want the same grip on the light each time anyway.

    Attention: LEO's using TK11

    I took a look at the holster you mentioned ... do you have to remove the ring around the body of the light (that allows you to use the Rogers Technique) to get it slide into it? The carrier I got carries the light lens down, so when you grab it, it's in your hand the way you'd want to use it.

    Attention: LEO's using TK11

    I was also looking for a belt carrier (not LEO). I consulted with one of the reps at www.comp-tac.com and then ordered a pepper spray carrier (for the Fox Labs 1.4 inch). It seemed like it was too big when I got it, but after tightening the tensioning scews, it works really well.

    good led upgrade for pelican m3 or stealthlite?

    I have (a couple of) the M3 3370 (incandescent version) and have been asking around for the same kind of upgrade. So far, I've been able to get a DealExtreme SKU #1447 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1447 to function properly. I've also tried the SKU#11836 drop-in (which has the R2...

    So, I got my Fenix TK20

    I recently got a TK20 and TK11. When I get the belt carrier I ordered, the TK11 will assume duty as my primary "emergency" light. I really like its combination of output and ergonomics. The TK20 will be one of my utility lights. So far I'm on my first set of Energizer lithium AAs in it, but...

    Pelican M6 led revived!

    No joy on the reflector/emitter module from the Ultrafire C1 in the Pelican M3 3370! It looked like it fit physically (as did the R2 module I tried), but it just doesn't function. So far, only the #1477 drop-in fits my lights. ARGH!
