TANK007 TK-703

LED Flashlights – General Info 1 x AAA Flashlights
1

I don’t read all that much about this light on this board but boy, I was sure surprised when I received it.

I know, I know, it only has one mode,(high), and is a reverse clicky as opposed to a forward clicky but this thing is almost a micro searchlight! I was really surprised by it’s build quality and brightness for such a small light and especially an AAA light with a clicky. The example I received is a beautiful, shiny red which I like a lot.

Even though the clicky adds a small amount of length to the light, this thing is as small as you’ll find with a clicky.

I know most folks prefer a forward clicky which provides the momentary on feature but I don’t mind the reverse clicky at all. It somewhat serves as prevention from accidental activation when carried on a keychain or in the pocket. It also has a nice, smooth and positive on/off click. I also like that that the activation button on the end is metal insted of a rubber button that can wear out over time.

The beam is somewhat ringy, (but the hotspot is intense), and I do wish it had a low, low but I’ve been using it with an UltraFire 10440 and it takes awhile before it gets warm.

Don’t get me wrong, I prefer my TANK007 E09, but for such an inexpensive light with this much quality and brightness, (to me!), it’s a real “must-have”even if just tucked away somewhere when you need some really bright light.

An oft forgotten gem. No AAA light out-throws a 703.

I totally agree!

I have one TK-703… . Comparing to a Fenix LD01 outshines but waiting for an UF M5-R5 I’ll see what will do!!!. See y’all!!!.

I like the clicky, and it is certainly very bright on an eneloop, but I just don’t find the TK-703 as useful as my Preon P0. I find the flood beam more practical for this size light.

Horses for courses. :wink:

Both the KD Buckle V6 Max and the Preon PO look nice but both are 80% more expensive.

I wanted an AAA with a clicky that was bright with throw and inexpensive and the TK-703 fit the bill for me.

I love my 703. However, I was disappointed when I reallized that I had to remove the spring from it so that a 10440 would fit. Now a AAA will not work in it. This is only a problem if the 10440 goes dead at work.

I love my TK-703 as well. It's been my EDC for the past couple of months. I use mine with Eneloops. It's more than adequate for my needs

all of the older tanks are great little lights 701 e06 e08 703 ...these and the 566 have a warm spot in my heart.

701 came in grey green red and black.. the red is a pretty good red imho

Tanks always have nicely spaced modes ,decent lows ,lots of throw and nice bodies .

downside is ringy and pwm and they aren't fixing the newer models .

One of my favorite budget brands

Hey Gebe. I agree, that 703 has way more throw then most AAA lights. The 701, on the other hand, has a great floody beam. It's great to have both on hand. Love the knurling on those Tank007's..
