I just went to Fenix Official website , and saw the New Fenix TK50 .
• Uses Cree XP-G R5 LED with a lifespan of 50000 hours
• Uses two 1.5V D (Ni-MH, Alkaline) batteries
• 228mm (Length)?39mm (Diameter)?60mm(Head)
• 233-gram weight (excluding batteries)
• Digitally regulated output - maintains constant brightness
• Reverse polarity protection, to protect from improper battery installation
• Two side button switches, easy operation
• Made of durable aircraft-grade aluminum
• Premium Type III hard-anodized anti-abrasive finish
• Toughened ultra-clear glass lens with anti-reflective coating
Notice: The above-mentioned parameters (tested in lab using quality D alkaline primary batteries) are approximate and may vary between flashlights, batteries, and environments.
New D cell Mags are already coming equipped with Cree xpe. BF deals were $15.00 at Lowes. I could buy 10 of these for the price of one Fenix. Guess which one I would buy? ;)
You are right with that, but maglites have problems with heatsinking, as they are made for bulbs, and those xpe will never be able to throw 225lumens like this fenix..
Believe me I wont buy the fenix, but maglites are pretty expensive in my country.. they cost more than 50usd the bulb ones, and the newer with leds, more than 90usd.. they are f*cking crazy
