TK41 Still the King of AA Throwers?

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

The TK41's one year anniversary is coming up in a couple of months, and I'm wondering if there is something that will challenge it as the "king of AA throwers."

Is it a fair assumption that the TK41 will stay on top until CREE releases a new/updated emitter?

I wonder if eight is the max. number of AA's used in a production light...

I don't think that any AA light even comes close. The TK41 is probably in the top 10 or so of all throw lights.

I can throw AA's a lot further than any TK41 ever will. ;-)

Vectrex ... King of AA throwers.

Vectrex this is the best AA thrower I have found. http://www.sausa.com/product.php?id=2&category=16

So, has anyone heard of an emitter swap being performed on the TK41?

6

It's good to be the king .

Vectrex can thow a AA batter so far ..... When he recycles batteries he opens the window and throws them to the recycling center .

MOTHER OF SPAMMERS.. how can this guy LIAO129 post the same sh*t on every post..

Which can throw farther, the TK41, the 7G5 or the CATAPULT?

7G5.

DOnt have the crelant, but the TK41 is a tad better than the catapult, but the catapult has a more usable beam for mid-long range due to the deeper reflector. TK41 is better for general walking around with better peripheral vision.

11

It may not throw the farthest (but I bet it's close) but as an all-around light, nice size (doesn't look like a toilet plunger), and runs on eneloops or alkalines. I especially like running it on the 2nd setting, which throws a lot of light but last a LONG time. As long as putting it in your pocket is not a requirement, the Tk41 is probably the best all-around light I have.

12

I would put it in the top 5 XM-L throwers.

Since lurking around, posting a few posts, both here and on the other "could not connect", I have shortened my learning curve considerably. I started January of this year, I have acquired a Fenix TK41 for throw, and Zebra SC600 for size and flood, a Klarus XT11 for its looks alone (although very much impressed by it) and an X8. I'm planning a monster thrower
towards the end of this year, probably after a successor to the XML goes out, a real 2.5k OTF.....Any input guys?

I'm gonna have a TK41 modded to an XM-L NW 4000K emitter, and before sending off the light I figured I'd see just how tight the head was.

I don't know if it was more so a result of my superhuman strength, or a skimpy application of loctite (much more likely the latter!), but I was able to unscrew my TK41's head right off with my bare hands.

I won't lie...it wasn't easy. I suspect that it wouldn't have been at all possible if my sample had as much loctite as others have posted about. Nevertheless, here are some quick pics that I just took. Figured that I'd share them here since pics of an opened TK41 seem to be rare.
