wish I could read Chinese but I am thinking this is the 2015/16 edition TK22? Sure looks like it. Wonder when the western release will be...

Sure looks like the TK family (TK15, TK22 and such)

Wonder what SF stands for?

Slowly Fading
Sloppy Focus

Just joking. . . Half my lights are Fenix and I really like the TK series of light.

The beam on the picture looks pretty neutral white, compared to the official picture with TK22 (2014) ?, but on the first look I don't see much of a difference except +30 lumens compared to TK22. I wish to see more info (in english)

Neutral tint would be very nice!

With Fenix, I don't expect it will have a NW tint.

CelticCross74 · Nov 6, 2015

this has me very curious. My 2014 TK22 is one of my most used lights and I run 2xCR123 cause Im an output junkie for the 1000 lumens Fenix claims it gets with 2x source. There has gotta be something else about this new edition the 2014 doesnt have besides 20 more lumens. As for a neutral tint I seriously doubt it. But it will be a well chosen emitter for sure...

Maybe a Chinese speaking member can translate for us? I tried looking for this on google and all I found was this thread lol...good find kj2

Well... on this picture the beam definitelly looks cool white, almost the same like with TK22. Interesting. I thought with new TK22 they will use the dual tactical tailcap switch like they did with TK16... well I guess never mind.

Why not XP-L HI or U3 version of XM-L2?

scs · Nov 6, 2015

The selling point is the beam with smoother transition from spot to corona to spill, overall a more even and eye-pleasing beam profile.

CelticCross74 · Nov 6, 2015

a Chinese market only light perhaps? I find the minor design differences between this and the TK22 interesting...

Thanks Swede

Why do I feel it is the TK22 just with another name.

As someone who owns TK22 v2014, I was like "meh!"

sean3040 · Nov 10, 2015
