I'm in Malaysia and already got my TK-11 last night from local distributor.
Its my first ever high performing light and all I can say, 225 lumens turbo mode caused tears (of joy) in my eyes.
New head/bezel design does not allow for body clip but that should not be much problem. Just need to find a nicer holster than the one supplied in sales package.
I'm unable to post beam shots but it shouldnt go far from Tk-10. Due to the reflector used, could be some difference though but I'm no pro to comment.
Hope we can have some tech review on this one soon.
Cheers,

Re: Fenix shipped my TK11 today!
I was looking at this light at the Fenix Store as I have a lot of 18650 batteries. They say only protected cells can be used? Anybody know why? I am aware that they are protected from over charging and discharging below a certain voltage, but am not sure why non protected cells do not work. It is also a little disappointing that the cells do not charge in the light, like my Wolf Eyes Guider.

It probably doesn't have an over discharge protection circuit built into the light. Also they maybe worried about ther user's safety, liability, etc.

It has no discharge protectetion, and if your run the battery dry, your can throw the battery out (LiIon must not be discharged completely).

The boost circuit will keep drawing power from the 18650, regardless of whether it would damage it or not.

Re: Fenix shipped my TK11 today!
Did you order from fenix-store? If so, what shipping method did you use? Mine was pre-ordered from them with USPS Priority Mail and I received an email on the 30th saying it had shipped. But when I check the USPS receipt number they gave me there has been no movement on it. It just says "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on June 30, 2008 to expect your package for mailing."

Re: Fenix shipped my TK11 today!
USPS Priority Mail does not really track packages. It will probably say that until you get it delivered. UPS will actually let you know where your package is and where it was at any given time. You pay more also!!
. If you live in the US you should get your package in 2-3 days.

Not in real-time like UPS, but they are updated every evening showing the most recent facility the package has left.

Re: Fenix shipped my TK11 today!
Yesterday was a challenge. We had a huge fire at work and I spent half the day dealing with the fire and water damage.
I was so tired when I got home. My new TK11 and a DBS were waiting for me in the mail!!! I put the batteries on the charger(with an automatic shut off) and went to bed!:mecry:
I did, however, wake up in the night and go outside for about 5 minuets and play around(perform official tests) with the lights. I compared it to my DBS and my Malkoff Universal(at 7.2v).
It is the most excellent light that I could use for EDC. I have been carrying my Gladius in my left leg pocket of my Carhart pants. I will be carrying my TK11 now.
I could easily light up the fence at the end of my street(about 140 yards) with the TK11. I relly like the shape of the beam. It is just the right balance between spread and throw.
I am working the next few nights and I will try to get some beam shots posted on the weekend.
