    I need a TK11 that takes AA batteries

    Thanks for the comments - I looked at the FourSevens Quark Pro QP2A-X. 280 lumens, but only 1 hour run time. Looking closer at the Fenix LD40, it has a run time of 3hrs 15mn at 248 lumens (turbo)...that's three times the run time on my TK11, and the Quark Pro QP2A-X. I'm not sure about the...

    I need a TK11 that takes AA batteries

    I like my Fenix TK11 very much, except that it only has two modes. But that aside, it's very bright and well build. Now I need a similar flashlight that takes AA. Under $70 or so. Lumens? Maybe 150-250 would work I think. It would be nice if it had a turbo, normal and very low modes. One is...

    Survival LED Flashlights: Quick Question ??

    Thanks for all of the information - here's what I ended up with; The Cupboard: Rebel 3-cell LED - (I love this light) Fenix TK 11 (R2) - (great quality but only two mode w/ 70 Lm as the lowest) Maratac AA Black - (AA's option is the reason here - AA's are sold everywhere) The Bug-out-Bag...

    Survival LED Flashlights: Quick Question ??

    Hey Foxfyre, I was at my brother-in-law's last winter in NH - his electric went out for a week...no heat. We drove to Boston to buy a generator to run his furnace. To me, that brought it home real quickly, so now I'm on a mission to get my Bug out Bag finished and 6-weeks work of supplies...

    Survival LED Flashlights: Quick Question ??

    Seems like the Fenix6 PD30 might be the ticket - uses 123's and has a low (10Lm) mode that burns for 65 hours. thanks for the ideas...John

    I have a recent model Fenix with dual 123's - it only has low (70Lm) and high (240Lm) and i am looking for a few more flashlights to kept for emergencies only - most likely stored in my BOB (bug-out-bag/ goBag) The Fenix on low still burns through the batts. rather quickly. I want to stay...

    Thanks for the replies :twothumbs- the EagleTac T20C2 it is... I like the sma-sma-smaller sized head (less throw than the A9, perhaps) ... I'll see how it compares to the TK11, which really like. Sorry, sometimes I studder. John EDIT: Who are the better vendors for the EagleTac...

    Who Makes the Best Thrower in a TK11 Sized Package?

    Thanks, Looks like I will need to go with a larger head, to get what I need. The A9 seems like interesting option. .

    Who Makes the Best Thrower in a TK11 Sized Package?

    I have the TK11 that works very well, I like it a lot, but I'm looking for the best throw in this same sized flashlight. Two CR123's is what I am after, as well. I'll be using this flashlight to illuminate large vacant warehouses that have no electric power. Any thoughts...thanks in advance...

    Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread

    Re: Home Depot/ Lowe's Grease? You're right, of course - I just wanted an acceptable grease that was easy to come by. I ended up @ AutoZone this afternoon and purchased a small tub of Mobile 1 Synthetic Grease (red) that I just now used on all of my MagLites and Fenix. Seems to work OK...

    Fenix TK11 R2 ???

    A few quick questions... Just got the Fenix TK11 R2 and was wondering what grease I can use on the threads - there must be some easy-to-get stuff out there that works. I was thinking WD40 or lithium. Also, I can't imagine they didn't design this thing to stand on its tail. Nice light...

    One thing I noticed is that the Surefire G2 LED runs an aluminum bezel, where as the ican model runs a plastic one. .
