I dont think the TK35 was all that successful, so I wonder if its possible that Fenix sold off their de-badged overstock to a third party. If this light has a genuine Fenix driver, then its an absolute steal at $34. Its fugly as hell but it does have a great pocketable form factor.
Fugly as hell, well i don't have that high tastes. It's not the nicest torch but the form factor is near perfect, you can nearly EDC it and have a very long runtime flashlight.
Don't think it'd have that smooth Fenix HA though...
I agree it will not win any beauty awards. I can say owning the tk35 that it is a ergonomic light, very comfortable to hold in your hand. I ordered one , can't wait to compare it with the real deal. If it is anything as the same quality of the tk35, it will be the nicest clone of any brand name light. Hopefully the internals are well made.
I've always wanted the tk35 because of the parallel battery design, but thought that paying over 100 dollars for is just too much for me. So I just ordered this one. Seems to be the 99% same as tk35. Will see if it arrives. Shipping was just under 7 dollars to estonia (EU).
That, and for most of the high driven lights we own the high mode technically is turbo :P
It's really not a bad way to distinguish the highest mode from the most usable modes. It's saying: "Hey, you really only need to this amount of light sparingly."
Then again, maybe it's simply a gimmick. "HA! Is your light turbocharged? Didn't think so!"
The TK35 ( I own one) has 4 normal modes, plus 2 disco modes controlled by depressing and holding the smaller (mode) button in then releasing. Now you're in the crappy disco mode. Press and hold to return to normal modes.
I almost bought this light, but I wanted to buy the Olight SR51 package for my birthday. So I did. But I agree that this light if it proves to be just about the same as the TK35 is a steal. If it stays that price, I will probably have to try and buy one. And it is far from ugly.
