Fenix TK45 - anymore news on this new light?

Candle Power Flashlight Forum

Help Support CPF:

So the Tk45 hasn't come out yet? The past page of posts are a bit confusing (some say it asn't and some seem like they already have the TK45)

But definately, I thought Fenix designed the TK45 for a super-super thrower... how could they make a floodlight out of that? 3 heads is a wonderful oppotunity to make a super thrower
 
^^^ not really- one BIG head the size of three could
make a better thrower if it was focused for it than three
smaller I think.

edit- if yer using reflectors

No, Fenix has not officially released the TK45 to the market yet. There is the one CPF member that won the 2010 SHOT Show raffle and the grand prize was the prototype TK45 that Fenix displayed in their booth at the show, but just because he got the prototype that does not mean that the TK45 is available for sale to the masses. The other TK45 around here is the one used for that Russian flash light test session in the underground utility tunnels. I do not know how the creator of those tests got one. I specifically asked about how he got one but my question was not answered.

Trust me, if the TK45 was available to purchase, you'd read all the reviews about it right here in CPF! 😉 Notice how many TK45 reviews there are currently. That says it all in terms of availability!

Interesting to read the latest feedbacks and opinions gathered however, leaving it to one's gut feelings and individualism on psychie... Seeing Is Believing (recommended) and what those two comparisons showed, is good for my perception on the TK40 being a better buy and certainly won't be mothballed by the TK45.
As for heading into such tunnels... however long it may be... DON't unless U R a tested street fighter and a seasoned blackbelt martial arts exponent particularly in Russia!
😱 Those with phobias on dark areas or environment to zombies.... :wave: gosh... I recommend you to get a mini bazooka like I did (LedLenser X21) its a two-in1 if you need something solid to use as a baton when close contact combat is the last resort for you... :devil:

I just ordered (last night) a rangefinder for up to 1600meters... pricey though but I think its a worthy tool to have to have a good approximate on the range of my flashlight throws. Mine is arriving from Israel.:hitit:
 

Ah so that's how the guys from Russia must have gotten their TK45! Thanks for the link.

According to that page on the Fenix website, the prototype TK45s for testing will be sent out to evaluators in early May 2010. Based on that, I wouldn't expect them to be available for purchase until summer 2010 at the earliest.

Ugh...wait, wait, wait. 😛
 
I filled the application form and clicked OK (or whatever OK-like button down there), but it refreshed the application form page with all the fields blank... I wonder if it worked...? :thinking: Are applicants meant to receive a confirmation email?

Mine did that too. Maybe we slashdotted, err I mean CPF'd their form submittal system. :devil:
 
I'm pretty sure that they just have a slightly inefficient submission system. I got the whole lack of confirmation thing and checked with Fenix directly through my contacts and found that it had gone through.
 
Nice to hear the forms went through... I hope they don't mind me having sent it 5 times lol... 😉
 
While everyone can obviously have a different experience, I'm not sold on the idea that mine went through. Upon closer inspection after going back to the page the second time, I noticed that the page never fully loaded in the first place, meaning there is no way it's going to submit the form if the page still has not even loaded.
 
Congratulations everyone! It's great to hear that some CPF members will be receiving their TK45s soon. :goodjob:

I can't wait to start reading those TK45 reviews here!
