I already have the TK75....is the RC40 that much brighter, more throw? I have never seen a comparison of the 2. If the RC40 is in another class, I am getting one! Thanks.
Fenix seems to have updated the TK75 and the new one puts out 2900 Lumens with XM-L2

Well I haven't bought a Fenix yet and was thinking about the TK75 so somehow I was lucky that I delayed! I was thinking of a FF4 next but since this is much more versatile I will postpone it and the TK75 with at least one extension (or 2 ) will be my next purchase!

the TK-75[New version] having confidence it will be as advertized!
ok,,,,,,RC-40 - $379.00, 3500 Lumens, Beam distance 776 yards, with 126,000 candela. TK-75- $179.00 [WITH PROMO], 2900 Lumens, beam distance 754 yards with 119,500 candela.

Good decision!! You won't be disappointed!! One ext. is enough. I used it[One ext.] last night and got 2 hours and 54 minutes on "Turbo"!!! It was tested, I believe with several 18650 batteries and his best was 2 hours and 20 minutes!! I have 3400 Mah authentic Panasonic cells!:thumbsup:
Well also considering the great thermal characteristics of the TK75 it is easy. I have both Panasonic 3400s, LG Pinks 4.35v (with hobby charger), AWs and I am also waiting on some Sanyo cells to test. Maybe you are right about the third extension it is too much but it would look so huge it will be funny!
I needed to express this!! To me it is an easy decision regarding the RC-40 or the TK-75[New version] having confidence it will be as advertized!
Agreed. But I came to the opposite conclusion and will be buying an RC40. One thing you failed to consider in your decision is the added ease and convenience of operation that a built-in charging mechanism provides. I valued that feature and it contributed to making my buying decision easy.
Also, and I don't mind saying this, every beamshot of every TK75 I've ever seen skews green. Let's face it, most Fenix's do--but the RC40 seems to less than most other top-binned emitter choices Fenix employs. In fact, I find the RC40 admirably neutral in this regard.
Is the RC bulkier? Of course. And because of it, it will run significantly cooler than the TK75 over long periods of time.
Easy choice for you. Easy choice for me. Horses for courses.
Best,

:thumbsup:No argument here!! We can agree to disagree!! To each his own!
I will take a less bulkier/heavier light any day over built in charging! Our situations, in regards to how we use our lights are probably different. My left hand/arm is for walking the pooch!
p.s. where are you located?
:thumbsup:
That's one heck of a dog-walking light! I tend to go lighter for tasks like that, carrying something like a JetBeam RRT-21, Klarus ST11 or something along those lines.

Oh, yes, I forgot!! I do have a Jetbeam BC-40 which is an awesome light that is also light and bright enough[830 LUMENS ON HIGH AND 130 ON LOW] I used that all the time before I got the TK-75.:thumbsup:
