Auxiliary Green Light: 200 lm declared[color=#FF4000) [/color] – 5h10min

The measured data are to be considered peak (taken within 30 seconds from the ignition and with the battery fully charged) and all have proven to be consistent with what is declared by the manufacturer.

The body and materials
The Fenix TK25R is a real tactical flashlight in the 18650 format. The construction quality is excellent, the abundant thicknesses, the finishes with attention to the smallest details.







The optical part consists of a 1500lm Luminus SST40 LED, two auxiliary Cree XP-E2 LEDs (Red and Green) and an SMO / OP reflector

















On the Fenix TK26R we have 3 different switches: two in the tail and one on the side.
The two switches in the tail (one mechanical and the other electronic) allow you to turn on the flashlight, change the output level, manage direct access to the strobe and the momentary-on.





The side switch allows you, with a simple click, to change the color of the light: you can in fact switch from the white light of the main LED to the red and green colored light of the two auxiliary LEDs.







Inside the side switch there is a small colored status LED that returns information on the remaining capacity of the cell and on the progress of the recharge process.







On the opposite side of the side switch there is a TypeC port for quick battery charging.











With the flashlight also comes a 18650 3500mAh cell.



The anodizing is perfect, smooth and slightly opaque. The lettering is well done. On the central body there is a knurling process that improves grip and grip.





The threads are sliding and well lubricated but are not anodized. At the positive pole we have a small and rigid spring. At the negative pole, in addition to a spring, there are a series of gold-plated contacts.









In the hands the TK26R is comfortable to hold. Quickly activating the strobe for emergency situations is really a simple operation thanks to the dedicated button.













Bundled with the torch also comes a nylon holster, simple and minimal.











The belt clip is long and quite rigid, the grip on the clothes is excellent.






Beam, Tint and Beamshots
The main LED of the Fenix TK26R produces a wide, well-focused beam with a well-defined spot that allows you to illuminate well even at a distance of 100-200mt.

The maximum declared light intensity is 30150 candles for a theoretical throw of 350mt. The tint is cool, not very cold, and uniform over the whole beam.

The auxiliary LEDs are bright enough to allow perfect lighting over short distances, even 20-30 meters. The red led has a slightly wider beam than the green one and is a little more common.
