Just wondering if anyone on this forum has heard anything about them?

We are phasing out the Fenix T1 and have resigned the new Fenix TK10 to a bit shorter and a little lighter than the Fenix T1 so that it feels more comfortable holding it firmly with one hand.

Fenix TK10 Features:
• Cree Premium (Q5) 7090 XR-E LED with lifespan of 50,000 hours
• Two modes of output, selected by turning the bezel:
• Turbo Mode: Constant 225 Lumens, 1.5 hours
• General Mode: Constant 60 Lumens, 10 hours
• Highly efficient focusing head - throws beam over 200 meters
• Digitally regulated output - maintains constant brightness
• Low battery indication system
• Uses two 3V CR123A lithium batteries
• 135mm (Length) x 34mm (Diameter)
• Solid stainless head & durable aircraft-grade aluminum housing
• Premium Type III hard-anodized anti-abrasive finish
• 136 + -- 0.5 gram weight (excluding batteries)
• Waterproof to IPX-8 Standard
• Toughened ultra-clear glass lens with anti-reflective coating
• Tactical tailcap switch with momentary-on function
• Tactical body clip – attaches securely for easy carrying
• Anti-roll, slip-resistant body design
• Included accessories: holster, lanyard, two spare o-rings, and a rubber switch boot

Usage and Maintenance:
• If your light begins to flicker rapidly, do not be alarmed, it’s a low-battery indication. Simply change to General mode and replace batteries when convenient.
• Use quality 3-volt CR123A batteries to prevent flashlight damage due to leaks and other self-destructive battery behavior.
• Remove the batteries from the flashlight if it will not be used for a long time or if the batteries’ power has been depleted. This will help prevent battery leaks that may damage the light.
• Insert the batteries with the anode side (+) toward the light's head. Reverse polarity may damage the circuit.
• Replace the o-rings if they are damaged or if they show signs of wear due to extended use. Regularly lubricant the o-rings to prevent erosion; this will help keep the flashlight properly sealed against water.
• Clean the electrical contacts periodically, especially if the light flickers or doesn’t turn on. A flickering or ‘dead’ light may occur for several reasons:
Reason A: The batteries need to be replaced.
Solution: Replace batteries, ensuring their anode side (+) faces the flashlight’s head.
Reason B: The threads, PCB board contact, or other contacts are dirty.
Solution: Carefully clean the threads and contact points with alcohol and a cotton swab.
Reason C: The head, tube, or internal parts of the tail cap are loose.
Solution: Add some lubricant to the o-rings and tightly screw in the head and tail parts.
Notes
· Please do not disassemble the sealed part in the head of the flashlight by yourself, it will void our warranty. · Please put the battery's anode side towards the light's head. Reverse polarity may damage the circuit."

Hi Bram!
I know it is not the quality of Fenix,but I bought one of these 300 lumen led lights from China and I use it every night when walking the dogs. We now live in a VERY rural setting. Corn fields every way you look and I have 2 black dogs!

I needed a bright light. For $20.00 including shipping I feel I got my moneys worth. It throws a solid WHITE beam for about 100 yards before fading. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I know it's from China and I am sure if I take a bath with it I will have a broken light,but for what I need I find it more than adequate. It is BLINDING bright! I does temporarily blind you when you shine it in your eyes for a second. Of course I tried it! I wouldn't know if I hadn't!

Just thought I'd offer a cheap alternative to you.

They also make a SIX HUNDRED LUMEN light!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

600 lumen's!!!!! I WILL have one this Spring. Just because i want to say i have a small 600 lumen light that will make you blind if I shine it in your eyes! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Peace.

I've heard that the price will be around the same as the T1.....but who really knows for sure, until they are actually released for sale.


When you care enough to use only the best...stick'em with a SKYCO knife.

I like my Fenis but my fave new light is my little Ultrafire WF-C6 Cree. It is very small ,stainless and has a huge beam of light for such a small package.

I also like my nexttorch because it can use both 1 little lithium bat or 2 AA's.
The metal barrel for the 2AA's also works as a great holder for a couple extra batteries.

Man, I need to get one of those Fenix lights.

235 lumens sounds great. 600's even better.

I wonder if you could use that and a magnifying glass to start a fire? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
