I got the Fenix TK70.
* * * * * * *
Comes with a shoulder strap and 3 o-rings.
Batteries were included.
Uses 3 XM-L Leds
The head came with a plastic cover that covers the end.
This is where the positive anode of the battery makes contact.
These are the switches that control the brightness and on/off.
Left switch which controls the levels, turbo, high, medium and low. Right switch contols on/off. The switch that controls the levels you have to press down to get to each level. Holding down the switch will not cycle through the light levels.
Square threads are used through out the light.
The battery tube is long. The extender is installed. Holds 4D batteries.
Inside view of the tailcap.
Can tail stand.
This is the shoulder strap clips.

These are the lumens and run time from Fenix.
Note: The below-mentioned parameters (tested by four high-quality D Ni-MH batteries with a measured capacity of 9000mAh in Lab) are approximate and may vary between flashlights, batteries and environments.
These are the Lux numbers I got. I used freshly charged Tenergy Premium D Size 10,000mAh Nimh Rechargeable Batteries.
Fenix TK70, Low - 410 Lux @ 1 meter
Fenix TK70, Medium - 8640 Lux @ 1 meter
Fenix TK70, High - 26,684 Lux @ 1 Meter
Fenix TK70, Turbo - 64,990 Lux @ 1 Meter

Fenix TK70 @ 96"
I didn't change the settings on the beam shots at 32'. I always shoot the beam shots at the same speed. Sorry if they look washed out in high and turbo.
The Fenix TK70 is Bright!!!!
Fenix TK70, Low @ 32'
Fenix TK70, Medium @ 32'

This is a comparison of the Fenix TK70 vs the Olight SR90 Intimidator . The Fenix TK70 uses 3 XM-L Leds. The Olight SR90 uses 1 SST-90 Led.

I used freshly charged Tenergy Premium D Size 10,000mAh Nimh Rechargeable Batteries in the Fenix TK70 and fully charged the batteries in the Olight SR90.
I used my Meterman LM631 to take the Lux readings.
Fenix TK70, Turbo - 64,990 Lux @ 1 Meter
Olight SR90 Intimidator, High - 100,028 Lux @ 1 Meter
Fenix states 2200 ANSI Lumens
Olight states 2200 Lumens. I don't know how Olight got the Lumen numbers.

The Fenix TK70 uses Type III Hard Anodize. It's finish is excellent. No flaws or mis color of parts.
The TK70 uses square threads. The threads came lubed. The threads feel smooth.
It's a large light with a long battery tube. The TK70 feels balanced in my hand when holding the TK70 near the 2 switches.
The TK70 has the issue just like the Fenix TK60 does. With one hand I hold my hand near the switches and have to rotate the battery tube with my other hand to find the switches.
The carrying strap is OK. The strap fits good on the rear of TK70. There is another lanyard included that fits in the groove of the head. The loop needs to be smaller so it can stay in the heat fins of the light. My Fenix TK60 did a better job making the loop smaller. When no slack is on the shoulder strap the lanyard falls out of the heat fins groove the the head. To solve this problem I would put a knot on larger side of the loop, to custom fit it in the fins.
When I first turned on the TK70 I said to myself "Holy F!". Man it's bright!
In the low you do see a very slight green tint around the hot spot. When I go into turbo mode the very slight green tint around the hot spot is less noticeable. Most of my cool white XM-L lights have the same characteristic with the slight green tint. Only one of my cool white XM-L light doesn't. I have 6 cool white XM-L lights.
The Fenix TK70 is "insanely" bright. I do have an Olight SR90 and it's the highest Lux light I have. The Fenix TK70 is second brightest according to my Lux readings. I have not compared the beams though. Turning on the TK70 did remind me of the Olight SR90 in terms of brightness.
It's not an Every Day Carry (EDC) light.....It's a Monster!!!
I got the Fenix TK70 from Fenix Outfiitters for $214.31 from a discount listed on Twitter.
