My TK11 - BEAM SHOTS & VIDEO ADDED

Re: Fenix shipped my TK11 today! BEAM SHOTS & VIDEO ADDED

Hello there,

I have to offer my cincere appology to the candlepowerforums community - I made a mistake by assuming (not personally checking) that the spacer in TK11 package is not included by the manufacturer.

We made all necessary changes to our web site to reflect correct information.

Sincerely,

Alex Palen

I just heard back from Fenix. All TK11's do not include the ring.
They didn't tell me why. I will ask if we can get some to carry in our store
separately.

Thanks 4Sevens. Any chance you could try and convince them to produce some black rings to match the body color?

Your site also states that the TK11 comes with a body clip, allen wrench and two spare screws. The TK11 does not come with these accessories....there is no place on the TK11 to screw on a body clip.

That's a relief!

hey all i've just ordered my TK11 from fenixtorch here in the UK it will be here by tuesday, waiting to save some more funds to buy 18650 and charger but for the meantime i will be using primary cells, i heard someone say that they rattle inside and does anyone have a runtime graph of the TK10 and 11 together. cant wait for the mailman now

An whats this thing with being offcentre, what is offcentre the tactical ring and is this a manufacturing fault or designed like that

I think he meant that the actual LED emitter was off center in the base of the reflector. That kinda sux, considering that it is a rather expensive light.

The beam is off-center (at least mine is). Here's a pic:

Considering I just dropped 80$ on it, I'm not going to be happy....

Geez, quality control....

I will ask.

The beam is off-center (at least mine is). Here's a pic:

Is the LED off-centered? Or the die inside the LED? If it's the die (which often
is the case) then it's a Cree QC issue.

Another matter, the smooth reflectors accentuates any deviation from the
center axis - even if it's withing tolerances. The textured reflectors help
to cover slight variations, but you lose out on max throw. You can't have
both

Anyway, anyone who is not happy with their unit please contact customer
service.. thanks

My TK11

I've decided to replace the tactical ring with a couple of o-rings.

Re: My TK11

I'm leaving the threads exposed and doesn't bother me too much... yet! Luckily I might be able to get hold of a ring from a TK10 or a friend will make me one on his lathe.
What were they thinking leaving out a replacement ring?? :tinfoil:

Great pictures! Cant wait for a proper review of this light comparing to the TK10!

I agree. There are so many reviews of the TK10 but I am yet to see one complete review of the TK11 with runtime graphs etc. I got sick of waiting so I just went ahead and ordered one anyway.

at first - sorry for my english. ive never learn this language and is not as good as it would be but i believe you can understand me... :duh2:

first impression was bad. switch was creaky and for this reason i completely disassemble/decompose it and give high-viscosity silicon lube to switching mechanism and deoxit gold to contacts for better conductivity. now it feels more precisely.

the off-centre rigny beam is ugly... but after couple days is no problem to tolerate this ugly but little problem and outdoor is almost not visible and throw is realy great!

missing copper ring is a big mistake in this expensive mark but i not want it. i purchase this light to have a tactical flashlight not a tank with "wedding-ring" :laughing:

rotating the head to switch between high and low require adequate force, which is great for me and feels better and more stable.

now after few days this is my favourite light!

at night i can make some beamshots with comparison to L2D-Q5 and add here.

:thanks: for your patience to read my bad english :wave:
