Pros :
1) The TK-45 flashlight have 3 CREE LED and can provide 760 lumens.
2) It is the highest lumens on Fenix products lines .
3) AA battery more easily to get in the Market now .
4) Have a gold plated electric conductor on the battery holder and circuit board to prevent current loss on the resistant .
5) Value and worth to get it , the price is $152.95 compared with the price of previous version TK-40 which is $157.95 that only have 630 lumens .
6) It is waterproof and don't worry for any outdoor activities .
7) It also use a new CREE LED which is Cree XP-G LED (R5) with lifespan of 50,000 hours.
8) New electronic switches , right side switches to on/off and left side swiches to cycle the brightness of the flashlight and intelligent memory function for memorizes last primary output when activating the flashlight .

Cons :
1) The TK-45 battery holder is plastic and cannot fix the AA batteries very well so it is hard to install the battery.
2) Still using AA battery , should allows to uses more high end battery like lithium battery .
3) Use too much of battery to light up the flashlight , 8 of AA batteries and so it will be more heavy compared normal flashlight .
4) It not included other accessory like shoulder strap, two spare o-rings except for lanyard (listed on the manual instructions).
5) The is tube of the flashlight too big to insert the battery holder inside because it make a lots of noise when shaking or other action after u inserted or installed the battery holder with full filled AA batteries .
