There was some interest in the TK21 that i mentioned in the TK45 thread. Instead of cluterring up that thread, i started this one to post pictures of the light. Not much info on the light right now as it's only a prototype, i'll try to compare it to my other lights and post impressions as time permits. Took these quick snaps on my way out to work. So enjoy the teaser pics...:devil:.

Sorry i do not. It's the only Fenix i own at the moment. I can compare it to other lights i have, maybe to a 2AA MagLED and an E2L.

i'm guessing this won't be as good a thrower anymore. i like the simple utilitarian design though 🙂

what emitter would this be using?

I tried to buy a SF G3D light, (which looks like this one) but they were out of stock. While this light will most likely not come with a diffuser kit, it will also most likely not come with a very blue beam (like the one reviewed in the modified section of cpf and which seems all too common for many SF led lights) nor cost $135.

I look forward to more info on this light too.
 
Nice :thumbsup: in my mind the tk20 is still the best all round outdoor torch on the market, so ive been waiting for this one for a while.. any idea when it might be released anyone?
 
OK, here's what i know. Runs on 2AA, 2 modes by loosening/tightening the head and has an XP-G. Not sure if it's a warm LED but it is more on the neutral side rather than cool (blue). The markings on the rubber covering (Fenix TK21) is rather faint. The Fenix reps did say this is only a prototype and the final product might change. It's also possible that this may not be released at all.
 
Cool, it seems like a bit smaller and thinner than the TK20 which may or may not be a great thing but lets hope that its as durable as the TK20.

I can't imagine that it throws especially well considering the smallish reflector and XP-G emitter.

Thanks for pics paintballdad.:thumbsup:
 
Hi!


This is my first post. :wave:

It looks good. Has it 2 modes or more?
I really love my tk20, but it looks like maybe has less throw than tk20.
 
Awesome!

I love my TK20... it´s the best 2xAA light for outdoor use, IMO.

This new one is cool... I just hope it can throw the same (or farther) than TK20... :thumbsup:

Any beamshots ?

Thanks for posting the pics...
 
/yawn

So, what is that light for? It does not seem to have really any of the nice attributes the TK20 has.

I'm going to think of this TK21 as not a successor to the TK20 but as a different kind of light. That's fine, I'm just not impressed.

In fact, there is only one reason the TK20 does not completely please me, it has two modes, not three, which I now like for a light to have: A low, a medium, and a high. I'm talking about general use lights, not tactical lights.

Come now, Fenix, give us a proper successor to the beloved TK20.
 
I like the older design better, as said by others, the small reflector will probably not throw as well as the TK20.

My TK20 is my best 2AA light for sure, in fact I like it so much that I bought a second to keep as a spare, half price at my local Fenix dealer, now Im very happy I did 😀
 
If it's a neutral white R2, I'm in. Though I like the beefy design of the original version better. Sometimes you need something that fills your hand better than the more common minimalist micro torches that seem to be all the rage.

I agree. Smaller is not always better. I usually carry my lights in a holster anyhow.

I also agree! I don't understand why the common 2AA LED flashlight of today is made as thin as possible, and even thinner in the mid of body. Often slipper and with bad hold comfortability. Fenix TK20 is supreme in this matter! :thumbsup:
