I wonder, out of the Fenix TK12, TK15 and TK21, which one has the most throw, estimated from led-type and reflector type. The TK21 has most output with around 450lm, but it is said, that the led used is more a floody type. Estimation from someone with knowledge about the used leds would be appreciated.

There are two models in TK21. The one is U2 version, the other T6 version.
According to Fenix's homepage, The peak beam distance under ANSI standard is as follows:
TK21 (XM-L U2) : 214m
TK21 (XM-L T6) : 201m
TK12 (R5) : 179m
TK15 (R5) : 215m
TK11 (R5) : 188m
So I assume that TK21(U2) & TK15 are the best throwers and they have the almost same peak beam distance.

Thanks for the reply. I'm surprised how detailed the specs on fenix' website are. Those values are great for comparison, surefire should provide them too.
