Hi Everyone,
Up for review is the Fenix TK11 R2 Sorry, I do not have the original packaging for this, it was a gift, and didn't have packaging, regardless, thanks! (you know who you are)
.. I just thought it would be fun to review some of the lights I had sitting around. :thumbsup:
Here's a summary of the specs, taken from 4sevens
More information can be found in the threads linked below.
A Bit of Background:
The tk11 was first officially announced on 6/13/08 in this thread.. A discussion thread about that light, though, started a bit earlier . You can find it here. 6 months later, (ok,.. they were 3 days early ) Fenix came out with the R2 version of the light. Link on the MP is here.
and, here we go.. pics, pics, and more pics... though number of pics would be slightly less than normal
any dings on the light would be my fault
easy to read +, and -, sign.. I demand you not stick batteries in backwards,!!!!
tailcap, with its small lanyard hole
disassembled. I figure you can ID the individual components
super thick walls.. this thing is built like a tank
Comparison:
Compared to other lights of the same caliber, the Fenix TK11 is a very tough feeling light. It is also well balanced and easy to grip and use.
Indoor Shots:
(because of the sheer volume of lights in one shot, I have them in the large 800 px wide size)
White Wall shots:
not the cleanest beam ever, the Fenix TK11 with its SMO reflector is a bit of a thrower
Outdoor Shots:
Fenix TK11 2xCR123A (18650 compatible)
compare these with other ones in this thread
Impressions:
The Fenix TK11 is a very comfortable light to use.. Hefty and sturdy feeling, I would have no qualms tossing em up in the air like some of those silly youtube videos .. except instead of a simple maglite, this is a LED flashlight with complicated circuitry.
that being said, it sounds like an ideal EDC for those with medium sized pockets.. even the anti roll ring can be removed for more comfortable EDC, though I did not feel any problems with it. Output is nice.. though the low mode could be allot dimmer. the difference is not that much, so I'd use the light on low most of the time with a nice extended burn.
