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.
I know the feeling. LOL! Just wait for the time to be right and you have the money to spare. Then if you don't seem to have it to spare or you feel it has been to long of a wait and you may not get one for that price if you continue to keep waiting just go ahead and buy it anyway. That's the way I'll do it. I haven't made up my mind yet. I like hearing good reports first. So I will probably wait. Let others bite the bullet then I won't have to be eating lead if it's a flop.
A cheap Fenix? So could this mean the Fenix on Manafont are fake? Or maybe Ric got into the factory and snatched a couple, since the factory is in Shenzhen. :)
