The TK05 I received from Amazon does not work correctly. It's far too dim regardless of what battery i put in it. I've tried two different, new alkaline cells, a fully charged Eneloop and a new 14500 @ 4.18v.
All three modes are present, but light output is just way too dim, even on high. A 3-AAA Harbor Freight 9-LED giveaway is brighter.
I see no way on Amazon to return for exchange, only for refund. The code for the TK05 has expired.
How can I buy another TK05 for this price, or exchange for replacement under warranty?
Dunno if the TK15 is what some people were grexing about (LED never fully turns off, etc.), but I got 2 today, and they’re perfect.
Modes seem to be a little bit bunched up towards the high end, but still quite nice. “Moonlight” (press’n’hold from off) is also a bit bright, like regular low. But everything checks out quite nicely.
Nice CT/tint, too. Nothing horrible in the beam, even though I just played with ’em for like 30sec each at work, shining under the desk.
Only complaint is that thread-lube is… scarce. Seems like someone just dabbed a little bit around the O-ring, and the caps kinda grrrrrrinded on most of the way, then smoothed out.
Will scrub’n’lube the threads tonight, should be fine.
But hey, 10bux? Still absolutely can’t go wrong with them. Great value…
