So, I broke my Brinkmann by knocking it off the sunroof of my car on to the ground while I was working on it and now I needed a new flashlight. Unfortunately, this happened right after Phil's sale ended so I had to find an alternative. Off to Amazon I go and here is what I found... Fenix TK11 R2 for $54.00+5.24 shipping Pretty decent deal if you ask me. On top of that, 2 days ago it was free shipping as well. Hope this helps anyone who needs a light :thumb: Amazon.com: Fenix TK11R2 2 Level High Performance Cree LED Flashlight, Black, 6- Inch: Sports & Outdoors Deal is over!
Eyezack..man did you get my attention with this sale! What does it come with? Did I read somewhere that you need to buy a charger separately? Can anyone help out?
I believe its the flashlight box that Phil has on his site. Batteries and charger are sold separately of course. I figure I wont use it as much so I figure a couple disposables will hold me off until I find a great deal on rechargeables
Thanks for the link. I probably won't be using it that much so the original batteries will last me a long time I would think. Thanks again Eyezack for posting it.
DX also has them in stock as well EDIT: you're welcome Richy. I was on a budget so this deal was too good to pass up
I hear ya...actually tomorrow I go pick up a Stanley HID light I bought that can light up for like a mile...incredible light. Much bigger than the Fenix but strong as hell. Don't know what I'll do with both, LOL.
Hey Richy, I've got one from Phil. I use mine about every night at work on calls. I've had the same battery in it for over a month. Now take in mind, I probably wouldnt use it as much as law enforcement since I work in a rural area. I love it though. Fits in my pants pocket.
Thanks Heath. I'll use mine at work when I get back in a few months. I should probably keep an eye out for a deal on batteries/recharger. Did yours come with one or will you just replace the batteries with new ones?
Better check if the batteries are available...weird size. Sorry, loaned my light out so I can't check the size for you.
The battery charger/batteries I got from Phil came with 2 batteries and the charger. The batteries are a Lithium battery. CR123A is the #.
For batteries, check out 911Supply here. They can be as high as $7-$10 each at some places. At 911supply they are under $30 for 12. I buy two boxes at a time.
why not just get the rechargeable batteries saves alot of money in the long run. an richy let me know how that stanley works i saw it in wally world an they having a sale on them next week i might get 30 - 50 % off they blowing them out.
The batteries can be found at Target or Walmart IIRC, and yes, rechargeable is better but the ones off Amazon are pricey sometimes. I wont need rechargeables for a while since I do a couple cars a month Richy, that light might be better for outside use but probably not for detailing use (which I'm using mine mainly for). Its a combination of the reflector, LED, and something else that determine how useful it is as a swirl spotter. Forgot where I read it though...
The TK11R2 has 240 lumens. Don't be fooled by the number of lumens...bought a light with 650 lumens and it doesn't come close to the Tk @ 240 lumens.
Just wanted to mention that here is an option on rechargeables/charger for those on a budget. I have a couple friends who have used this combo with great success. Therefore, I'm ordering it DealExtreme: $8.18 TrustFire Protected 18650 Lithium Battery (2500mAh 2-Pack Blue) DealExtreme: $7.92 Digital Li-Ion 18650 Battery Charger
