I own a TK15, TK15 U.E. and the PD25r - love em all. Fenix lights are fantastic.

[@georgedavall9449]

👍

[@NightFly216]

I own quite a few flashlights from different companies and have to say when it comes to build, finish and overall a fairly perfect lighting tint, for my preference anyway, Fenix is the light I most always turn to. If I had just one complaint about this light it would be the omission of the 150 lm level between 50 and 350; sometimes a lights lower settings is what really makes it useful for many more occasions. Other than that, love the beam profile and the extra run time of that fat 21700 battery.

[@randomescu]

I love Fenix headlamps, i own 3. For flashlights i go to Olight. Ive got some Nitecore, LedLenser and a monster called Acebeam K75.
For industrial grade work i go for Sofirn: alot cheaper but the quality and resilience is very good.

[@TopDog8762]

I am with you, its kind of a pet peev, I want my light to tail stand. I also want a crenelated bezel.

[@bobby_rr50]

Hello, which one do you prefer, this light or the nitecore mh12 pro? Im having the hardest time deciding so your response would help alot. Thank you.

[@louisarturo5625]

Nightcore has the greenest tint of all and turbo only last 10 seconds

[@Defcon666]

Good thing you constantly shake the flashlight otherwise we couldn't see anything in all that darkness. 😑

[@effu9375]

I don't understand why Fenix has the obnoxious loud clicking sound on their TK series which one would think would be tactical.

[@CorruptionManX]

Does this Fenix ​​tail switch not peel over time? The Nitecore one can peel off.

[@adamthomas1222]

From my experience, I still haven't be able to peel mine. I've had a pd35r for at least 5-6 years, for work. And I it's still perfect. Best part is that I work with really caustic fluids as an aircraft engineer and its still intact. I can't say much about the USB covering tho 😅 that ripped off a while back

[@vladxd6652]

Is it really working 400h+ on 5 lum?? I’m getting it just only because of that it’s crazy if it’s true

[@georgedavall9449]

CHRISpy Things !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There’s something about the quality of their lights, and the beam profiles, that I love about Fenix. I do concur, about the holsters, and that is a weak point with Fenix; Their presentation/ packaging, and the poorly designed/made fabric holsters.
I have the first Version of this light, and it is one of my favorites. I may have missed it, but did You do a view of their new model of Ht32, or something like that? It has TIR optics, with Red Green and blue. It looks to be quite a light? Take it easy! And just GO! 👍👊

[@kylesefton640]

👍

[@BladderProductions]

Do you have a favourite brand? Fenix, Olight, Nitecore?

[@Falk4711]

Just forget Olight.

[@ChrispyThings]

Not necessarily

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Agree - so Disappointing ( for me ) = Fenix Rules @@Falk4711

[@CorruptionManX]

​@@Falk4711Why? Olight's flashlights seem to be very well built.

[@godbyone]

Fenix customer service sucks. I had issues they sent me switches. I couldn’t figure how to replace then I watch video of an engineer. Using special tools. wtf. Without tools can’t do it. Olight pricey I had one light. They replaced it 4 years later. No hassle.

[@Falk4711]

Lumen is not everything - as we could see. 👍

[@idiot1jerk2face3]

I have the pd36r pro and I like it because I almost exclusively hold it reverse grip so I prefer all the controls all on the tail. It's why I didn't upgrade my ld20 because I'm not a fan of the head switch.
