Which Fenix flashlight do you have ?

[IamMatt]

I have a Fenix E01 in olive green. I like that little light, I just wish it were brighter. That is not a fault with the light but rather my eyes and I just need more light than the E01 puts out.

You might want to look at the (discontinued) L0D. Still available online from various places; EliteLED.com has the Rebel version for $29.95. That's what I carry on my key chain.

I have:

L1 (going old school; I have 3 of these)
L0D (EDC on my keychain)
L1D (on my bike)
P2D-CE

At the moment,only one..the TK40. (only fed a diet of Eneloops..).

Careful with those Rebel L0Ds. There might still be a few around with the defective emitters. I had to test mine several hours for several days before I knew mine was good, back when I bought it.

One of my favourite and reliable brands. Currently I own:

PD20

I think the PD20 is my favorite because it is the brightest.

The only fenix light I have is a stainless LD01 that lives on my keychain. I've been eying the TK12 a lot lately, though. Trying to decide between it or an Eagletac T20C2 as a first 18650-powered light. Or a Jetbeam III-M. Or... too many choices.

Bit off topic but you wouldn't happen to be a progamer?

The TK11 is a marvelous light if you're looking for throw!

I started collecting Fenix lights when David at 4Sevens first started selling them, while I was waiting for a new batch of DS Fire~Fly III to be produced and released. I've bought all my Fenix lights from 4Sevens.
I've got the P1, 2x Civictor V1, P1D CE (with Leef Body in attached picture, original body tube is laying in front), P2D, P2D Q5, PD20 Q5.
I haven't bought any more Fenix lights since the PD20 because I like the 1x CR123 form factor and they don't have anything newer with significant output gains at this time.

[snoop75]

I have a TK12 R5 and an E01. Bought them for camping. TK12 will be the main light around the campsite and on the trail. E01, on the other hand, is my in-the-tent light and also serves as a backup light in case the TK12 fails.

Love both of these lights. The TK12 is robust and bright. The E01 is so incospicuous and just keeps going.

[NightKids]

They are 2 very excellent choices and you are one smart Fenix collector...

I have the PD30 Q5 since december 2008 -> excellent, no problem.

I have also the PD30 R2 since september 2009 -> received it defective, they change the head, the second head was full of artifact, I sold it to a friend, I bought another one it was ok.

I have also the PD30 XP-G R4 since december 2009 -> after few months and only very few hours of uses a short-circuit happened in the head, it was smelling electrical short-circuit. The dealer changed it for a SMOOTH REFLECTOR... I had a very dark brown spot in the center of the throw and was not satisfied at all with that poor performance with the smooth reflector, this was not at all what I needed, I bought it because of the OP reflector, never I wanted a smooth reflector. I don't need trhow with a dark chocolate donut in the center but a nice transition between throw and spill and this is what you are supposed to expect with XP-G R4 and R5 Cree LED.

The american dealer told me that this is the way PD30 R4 where made now by Fenix there was no more Orange Peel reflector PD30 R4 available there is nothing to do.

I writed to Fenix, they told me to send my head to my dealer (USA), my dealer had to send my head to Fenix, Fenix told me my head was repaired they will send it to a canadian dealer and this dealer will send me my head because Fenix can not send it direcly to me.

And you know what ? I am still waiting since mid may, that means 2 months. ADDITION : received my PD30 XP-G R4 repaired by Fenix on August 2... (They did a nice job).

I bought a Quark 123² XP-G R5 cool white to look at it and compare with the Fenix equivalent (PD30 R2 - R4) you can see on my post # 9 on this thread what I found out!

Sorry for this negative post but this is my very own experience.

Sorry if my english is not perfect, my mother's tongue is french. This my first and only forum I am a member with because I do love LED lamp torch because they are small and very powerful.

TK 11 R5 edn.

'Like the light a lot; it puts out plenty of light and has great throw. Unfortunately the beam
suffers from the dark centered hot spot. While not noticeable at a distance, it is pretty ugly up close.
The LED is nicely centered, so it must be the height of its' position in the reflector.
A Quark Turbo on the other hand, similar smo./ R5 set-up has a perfect beam with no
rings and a beautiful transition to spill. I take my hat off to 4SEVENS!

LD01 really small, really bright, but really blue.. high cct

[DeadButAlive]

TK12 R2 version w/ 18650 tube - Perfect white tint, great beam profile. Unfortunately Fenix seems to be "upgrading" all their lights to XP-G emitters so it may be a while before I get another one. I generally don't like XP-G lights (for several reasons, and there are exceptions) so I'm limited to picking up XR-E versions where I can find them.

[The_Police]

I have the TK11, it just arrived in the mail today. when I first turned it on, I was like "holy crap that's bright..." then I tightened the head and was amazed at how freaking bright it is... lol

PS. Is the LED supposed to stay lit just a tiny bit when the flashlight is turned off? Is it a sign of a faulty light or it this just something like glowpowder that Fenix did on purpose??

[shippingandhandling]

tk-11 r2 for me, and i love it!!
