Hi there... This is my first review ever!
I´ll gonna make this review because I think there is just a few pics about Fenix TK20 around here.
Well, enjoy the lecture!
FENIX TK20
Powered by 2xAA batteries.
2 modes: general mode (45 l.) and turbo mode (150 l.)
Finish: HA-III finish is perfect. No flaws, risks or any other signs, even if you look with lens. I would say that it´s the best anodizing that I saw in a Fenix light. I have another Fenix lights (L2D, P1, P2D), and the TK20 looks a degree higher and better if compared with it´s sisters. Finish and feel is EXACTLY the same as Surefire L1. Threads are anodized too (has lock-out capability).
Picture of the head finish:
Size and body: overall size is smaller than I thought. I like the size. It fits perfectly in my hand (I have big hands). When I grip it with my thumb in the tailclickie, only the light´s head stays out of my palm. It has a great feel in the hand, but it´s not a light for EDC. It looks perfect to go camping or hunting, to carry in your belt or backpack, but it´s too big for EDC carry in a jeans pocket, for example. It has a grey rubber cover around the body. In my sample, I didn´t have any problem with it. I mean, it is not glued, but I have to pull it hard to move it around the body. It does not affect the change mode operation at all, because the rubber band is tight!
Here is a size comparison between TK20 and Surefire L1:
Now beside some CR123 batteries:
Weight: it´s heavy. Heavier than any light that I had. But it´s a "good weight"... I mean, this weight gives you a sturdy feel. A tank feel. It looks like you´re holding something solid, compact, indestructible. Do you remember the first time that you hold a .357 revolver ? Well, it´s the same feel!
Look at it´s thickness:
Tailclickie: it´s solid too. The clickie has a great feel. It is heavier and harder than LxD or PxD models. You have to push it harder to ignite. It´s forward clickie, so it has momentary ON. I specially like the lanyard hole. It´s big, so you can use a thicker rope to tie it, but it is not a round hole.
Here´s the tailclickie from inside:
And from outside:
Reflector and throw: it has a normal smooth reflector. It´s deeper, larger and bigger if compared to L2D, because it was built for throw. Nothing special about it, but this little light throws A LOT! I am impressed with it´s throw capability! It has a good beam, with the notorious cree rings, but nothing bad about it. You can only see a slightly cree ring when you do white wall hunting. In real world, I cannot see them. The tint is awesome for outdoor use. It is whiter than I thought. It´s not cool white (like my Fenix L2D), but it reminds me my yellowish Surefire L1 (without the greenish in the low mode). And it is A LOT whiter than any of my incan lights.
Here is a comparison between TK20 head and Surefire L1 head:
Overall impression: Well, I don´t have anything bad to say about this light. I am surprised with it´s quality and feel. It looks A LOT superior than my Fenix L2D Cree, and it feels better in the hand too. Fenix is evoluting, my friends. I liked a lot the tint too. It really gives you a better color rendition, specially outdoors. I tried, but all my beamshots pictures was terrible, sorry guys!
Well, thats it!
My advice: if you´re looking for a "tank" light for outdoor use, with a LOT of throw and color rendition, go for it! You´ll not regret! I am specially happy with it, and probably gonna get another one for my father.
