Still the numbers help to show that the TK75 has 1/7 less throw over its big brother.
I was secretly hoping the TK70 price would drop when the TK75 showed up but it hasn’t 
I like the portability of the TK75, and the price under $200 at fenixStore this week with the blackfriday code BF08
Sooooo tempting 
I have no doubt that the TK70 could reflect its beam off of a stop sign at 720yds or so, but that’s not what I call lighting up an object at that same distance to where you can actually see it even if you were looking through binoculars or a rifle scope.
Did anybody else see the TK75 listed for $149.95 a few days ago. Pretty sure it was the fenix-store, if not it was one of the websites that use all the Fenix artwork.
Another nice light! It seems like there have been a bunch of nice new lights out lately. I’m tempted, but if I just wait a few months the “TK-80” will be better for sure! LOL
i forsee a future where the multiple emmiter trend will just fade out once cree comes up with a massive single emitter that puts out say 2000-3000 lumens.And then “sr90” type powerfull throwers with 1000-2000 meter range will become populer or even massive floody beams achieved from reflector designs improvements from this single powerfull emmiter.
emmiter of the future :bigsmile:
But by that time 3000 lumens won’t be enough, and we’ll need 3 of those emitters to make massive throw and flood. Just read old CPF archives, people have seriously been saying this since the start.
“Oh, the new XP-E came out! I highly doubt I’d need more than 300 lumens.”
The same thing happened when XML’s came out. There used to be a bunch of showerhead xr-e’s. Multi-emitter’ll always be stopgap solution.
To some extent, big-ass multi-die package MT-G2 already exists, but still too pricey.
I do think this gen of xm-l or the next is pushing the limit though, but with batteries. There might be mtg2 or more sst-90 successor lights but still need decent battery life even if you’re willing to carry around multi-18650.

Aku’s review is out!
Perhaps someone can translate it into english for the rest of us ??
Tha battery carrier looks cheap ! Theres lots of smileys so i presume happy customers ??
Google can do it
Im so torn between tk75 and BTU .
dont know which one to choose.
eagerly waiting for reviews on both !!!
Go with the sure thing.
Right click on the page and it translated with Bing.
Interesting choice for the contacts on the battery carrier. I wonder how durable they are.
Definitely TK75!
Why not let him wait until news/reviews have come out for both and make an informed decision? Waiting a week or two can’t hurt.
Maybe TK75 will be the first non-budget brand flashlight I am gonna buy.
I will wait for a price drop or some discount.
A video with TK75.
I’ll admit, this one is actually tempting (high price be damned).
il wait few more weeks . flashaholic co-worker has purchased a tk75 and is awaiting its arrival so he can beat my sr king and since i need to beat him with somthing more powerfull i am praying the BTU REVIEWS are good !!! :bigsmile:
About Fenix TK75
1.Fenix will strive to simultaneously launch separately a running time extension module, but currently has no plan to launch combo package. This running time extension package delivery time would be affected by the peak season orders and therefore may be slightly delayed.
2.Each running time extension module consists of an extension tube and a standard battery holder to provide serial link-betweens with theoretically unlimited extension. However, if adopting more than 2 number of modules, the aluminum extension tubes’ accumulated machining tolerances might render a shorter total length with threads tightened to extreme. The end piece battery holder thus slightly protruded might affect tailcap waterproof. We usually recommend extended to not more than three. The company’s engineers have tried 8 extension modules (i.e. total 9 holders) without problem.
Standard running time extension modules now published with four Fenix ARB-L2 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion proceeds tested in a lab environment. Add an extra module instead of 200%…………….?? to be omitted.
Running time extension package without battery weight is 153 grams, if loaded four Fenix ARB-L2 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the weight to 347 grams. In accordance with the ANSI standard, our laboratory TK75 mounted on 3 battery holders, filled with 12 batteries (in this case, the total weight of 1400 g) and at the height of one meter freefall to the concrete blocks, in six drop directions with after-drop waterproof test are passed with no
problems.
3. TK75 reflection cup of is of material same as TK22, the highest level of PC material. We dare to use this material comes from what has been adopted for more than a year, the same 3 XM-L light source TK70. We has not received any high-temperature-lead reflector cup deformation or coating off complaints. Within the company test, TK70 turbo mode profile after a five months 24-hour light running test, no occurrence of deformation of the
reflective cup, or coating off the case, while the light output deterioration is 0%! In view of the size less than TK70, TK75 with greater heat pressure at the same time, we try to increase the cooling area and according to the non-downshift temperature rise test results. adding 20 minutes Turbo mode 20 minutes automatically downshift design to ensure satisfactory user experience . Here to remind TK75 turbo mode discharge current is very large, in the course of our testing, the temperature of the battery is always higher than the case temperature, so in actual use, you should try to use the the quality low internal resistance battery.
4. Battery holder design fully considers the compatibility of a variety of cells, the length does not exceed 70mm 18650 battery can properly into the battery holder. Each battery compartment with the the tail negative spring and positive cap built-indesign, and strengthen the seismic performance at the same time, ensure that the the flathead battery can be used normally. Because of 2S2P relationship design, so only with two batteries in series the flashlight can be lit up in case of an emergency, but the running time will be shortened. Due to the current is very large under turbo mode, we strongly recommend that unless in special needs, do not use only two battery under turbo mode. At the same time, for safety reasons, we install in the battery holder circuit cut off design, so that the battery can only discharge, without cross-charging or external charging. So we, in follow-up plan, will not launch the standalone standby charger to running time extension modules.
