Fenix TK16 V2.0 Tactical Flashlight

I am not feeling this tactical flashlight. I've used it outside once, about 93 minutes straight- flickering through the brightness levels etc. It is bright for sure but the beam-spread overall, on all the settings is a bit all over the place, nor do I think the lumens are accurate. A max beam of 380m or 1200 plus feet....not a chance!There is a 60% chance of hitting the momentary ‘blind your enemy’ button on the tail cap which sits next to the full-click button every time you want to turn the light on or off.The design of this thing isn’t as streamlined as many of your other products. I would have liked it, and the body of the light to be a bit more fine tuned and a little less…..well, lets say it is like a little dog with big dog ambitions. In its current state ... MoreI am not feeling this tactical flashlight.

I would have liked it, and the body of the light to be a bit more fine tuned and a little less…..well, lets say it is like a little dog with big dog ambitions. In its current state it is never going to happen. I would consider downplaying this one, that includes the current price. -Don’t misconstrue this for being a bad light* but I am disappointed.I also think the Fenix “R” series has a battery-charging advantage over this "T/TK” series. (Charging port on the light itself vs. a port on the battery).

The top power setting on this light throws a whopper of a beam down the far end of the field, that’s 10 acres away.She’s a chubby girl. Good fit in the hand, just a bit more than I want in my pocket for something like an EDC.Perfect for a small work light or duty light.Big fan of the battery itself being the charger…though I have to admit it had me scratching my head for a few while searching unsuccessfully around the outside for a charging port.Great backpack or emergency light.Also a fan of the double switch end cap. Wasn’t sure if I would like it. It’s definitely an upgrade over the single switch in my eyes.Overall spectacular light. I’m a fan for sure. Would definitely not hesitate to purchase.This light has me looking at a bunch more now.

Would definitely not hesitate to purchase.This light has me looking at a bunch more now. You’ve been warned!Used a Fenix light like a dozen years ago professionally. Made the switch from a die hard surefire man after seeing a guy use one. I had to know. Who makes a light that small, so bright!?!Asked him, asked if it was tough, dude spiked it on a hangar floor. Never flickered. I was sold.Good to see after an over a decade the quality and brightness have only improved.

This is a good flashlight, I give a low rating for the lack of customer service from Fenix.I got stopped by TSA at SMF screening checkpoint with my TK16 flashlight. To make a long story short, TSA's computer deemed that the TK16 flashlight was a stungun. None of the TSA agents or the Sac Sheriff verified this was a flashlight. They confiscated my flashlight and Homeland Security opened an investigation and possible charges and fines against me.This misidentification is due to the design of the TK16 flashlight.I'm now battling a legal case from this flashlight. FENIX refuses to assist me by writing a letter stating that this flashlight is not capable of being a stungun. They turned their back on their customer ans product.I will not get anymore Fenix products to ... MoreThis is a good flashlight, I give a low rating for the lack of customer service from Fenix.I got stopped by TSA at SMF screening checkpoint with my TK16 flashlight.

I cannot support a manufacturer that doesn't support or back their customers. I will be getting rid of all my FENIX lights due to their lack of customer support.
