*coming* *new* Fenix E50, TK22 and TK75

* These light are coming, no release date known*

Just received the newsletter from FenixOutfitters. Had some interesting news;

E50 (more than 800 Lumens)
TK22 (more than 630 Lumens)
TK75 (about 2500 Lumens!)

To bad, there are no pics yet. But will keep a eye for more info

:twothumbs Thank you!

Thanks for the update...

emailed Fenix, about what batteries these will use. No answer from them- but probably the E50 will use AA, TK22 use 18650 (maybe 2* 18650) and TK75 uses D-cells (or battery-pack?). The TK75 also could use 18650 batteries. Some prefer this over D-cells. It would shorten the battery-tube a lot. Because of the ~2500lumens, it probably will still have 3* XM-L leds.

Do hope that the price of the 75 will be lower, compared with the price- when the TK70 was launched.

I'm hoping the TK22 will be in the TK21 size but better

I would guess the E50 will be a 2x18650 since they don't yet have an E series in that format. Also, if it indeed is AA, it'd have to be 8xAA, and at 800 lumens, it'd be too close to the TK41's performance. Not sure they'd do an economy 8xAA that came so close to one of their most popular premium lights. The 4xAA E40 is 220 lumen, so I can't see them getting 800 out of 8xAA.

Looking forward to seeing the specs and details on the TK22. I'm looking for a 2x18650 light with 500+ lumens with a TK22 type configuration.

You could be right -maybe it will be a 2* 18650 -would be nice

Maybe the E50 is 6xAA? The E40 doesn't use XM-L so it's understandable why it's only 220.

If they would use AA batteries, I do think they would use 8* AA because of the runtime. Do think that the E50 will be a good competitor of the TK41.

I had heard about an updated TK70 coming out somewhere on here. I read it was supposed to be 2400 lumens, maybe this was the TK75 they were referring to. Either way I am excited to see all of these lights.

I wander if this is Fenix's response to Eagletac's aggressive advancements in technology and constantly improving output of their lights. I have been really impressed with their stuff lately. I have been looking around to see their competitors reactions.

Why doesn't Fenix just set up their lineup like this?
E-series: xp-e, LD: xp-g, PD: xp-g2, TK: xm-l

And it would be (very)difficult to come with a new light, that doesn't look like the one before.

Hmm I'm interested to see what the TK75 is. My guess is 3 x XML U2 LEDs to get that output they claim.

I really wish they'd update the LED in the TK60 with an XML U2. I'd favoring D powered lights lately.

E-series light with 800+ lumens??! I wonder who are they targeting...

Cheers

I think; if the TK75 will use 18650 batteries, it will look something like the nitecore TM11.

Hello! This is my first actual comment on CPF Long time reader, first time submitter.

Anyway I think you are right. I would love a "budget" 8aa TK41, but I am not sure that will happen (boo) so it probably will be 2 18650's and an xm-l ... maybe? I just went for a long walk with my new E40 so I am loving their "budget" line of lights. Man can the E40 throw like no other in the size! Maybe the E50 could be more like a budget TK45 using multiple xp-g leds? That could be interesting.

a while back I got chattin' with a fenix rep and he was kinda snotty about E series being called economy/budget

in their eyes E is for 'Everyday use' or 'Everyday user'


...along that line of thinking, I can't imagine it being 18650s... but it might be rechargeable or D cells....

weren't they working on some new fancy battery packs a few months ago?
