Thinking About Adding A Fenix To My Collection

It will run off of 4 batteries but they have to be put in the battery cage in the right order to work. You have to have two of them going one direction and two of them going the other direction. You can't put two of them on one side of the cage and two on the other side. They have to be placed in slots that are next to each other. You will see what I mean when you try it.

It works just fine but battery life is just cut in half. Brightness seems to be exactly the same.

Chidwack:

My TK41 works with alkaline AA batteries on turbo mode. I have not read anywhere where it didn't until just now on this thread.

As stated before. This baby really throws. Not quite as good as my M3X but it's close enough that it really doesn't make any difference. It also gives out more usable light at closer ranges. I really love all the modes. The lowest or low mode runs forever without changing the batteries. The medium mode is bright enough for just about anything I will ever need a light for and will out throw my Olight M20s and will run for 27 hours on one set of batteries. High mode takes it up a level and is great for lighting up a room while tail standing and lasts for about 7.5 hours before needing to change out the batteries. Kick it up to Turbo and let the smiles begin. I probably won't use the turbo mode very much but it's great to have when I need it or when I'm showing off.

ILIKE: I know how much you like throw lights. I have seen your photos of the difference between your Crelant and your M3X. The difference between my M3X and my TK41 as far as throw is probably less that the difference I see between your two lights. I like holding using my M3X and the way it feels in my hand a little better than the fatter body of the TK41 but the usefulness and the extra lumens and spill of the TK41 set it apart from all my other lights.

Having the M3X on hand is great because it's just a little more powerful. It's like my 300 Winchester Mag. rifle sitting in my gun case. It's nice to know it's there if I ever want extra power but I don't use it very much anymore. The TK41 just gets used more.

BTW: I bought a Titamium 8 spot AAA/AA battery charger that comes with a car adapter. It was only about $25 and I can charge the 8 batteries that I need for the TK41 all at once.

Now that's a great informative post.

You convinced me. Now I just need to save up.

Chidwack,

You couldn't said it any better. The TK41 is a wonderful light.

EDIT: I'm below you

Ole buddy ole pal! We are going to have to get together and have a light nite! Heck I may even buy us some other lites but those you drink instead of shine.

What could be the differences between this one and the real deal?

They had a thread on that one here. Seems that it's not as good as the original Fenix TK35. Not as bright either.

There ya go, always up for a Miller Lite...

Ok guys I finally have a Fenix TK35 coming my way from Shane. Cost me $83.90 shipped. You can't find them much cheaper than that.

ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS · January 7, 2012, 5:30pm

I just bought the TK35 just a few minutes ago. I just got an email from Shane with a tracking # that my package is on its way. Now this is why I like dealing with Shane. You just can't find a better seller who will do you any better. Thanks Shane! We will do it again soon.

KDLST · January 7, 2012, 5:48pm
