Fenix TK11R2 Deal

Yeah, as long as the Li-Ion batteries have PCB (Protection Circuit Boards) on them, they're good batteries.

For those that are unaware of what they are and what they do, they are very small circuity that prevent the battery cell from overcharging and undercharging resulting in the damage of the battery (which is what makes Ni-MH legacy technology to Li-Ion).

 

Eyezack..is that the right battery? It says this in hte writeup:
Product Description

The TK11 uses two CR123A batteries or one 17350 and maintains excellent constant brightness with two output modes:
Is it the 18650 or 17350?


EDIT: Answered my own question...from Fenix website:

10 hours (two CR123A batteries)

• Digitally regulated output - maintains constant brightness

OK..how's this for messed up logic. Since the 18650's come in a 2 pack, I ordered both flashlights. I'm really curious to see how they compare, and for $35 for the 2nd one, I couldn't resist. Damn board....so hard to save money!!!

 

Haha, sorry Richy!

 

I just took delivery of my Stanley HID spotlight....it's a beast!! It's heavy and cumbersome. But this thing throws light like nobody's business. If they go for 50% off you may want to consider it. If I were honest with myself, I'll have A LOT more use for the Fexix and the other one than I will with the Stanley. It'll be fun to play with but that's about it. I may keep it in my car, I don't know. It did come with a DC adapter as well.

 

Updated the first post with the one for free shipping

 

Fenix came in guys! They ship from CA if anyone was wondering. Its the exact same model/box/whatever as the one on Phil's site

 

eyezack...got mine batteries yesterday, had the light for a few days longer. Man, this thing rocks. Can't wait till my MTE arrives and I can compare them!

 

Where did you get the MTE Richy???

 

You got them already? Mine shipped on the 26th so hopefully this week :applause2:

Richy bought it off DX I believe

 

Thanks Issac!!!!!!!

 

You are correct sir.

Like Isaac said, got it off DX (where I also got the batteries and charger he linked to earlier in this thread) HERE'S the link to the one I bought. Heath..I'm either gonna use the Fenix or the MTE at work..I'll see what one is brighter and which one I like more. I got the 2 mode MTE for simplicity.

 

I got to looking at light and read where the SkyRay was suppose to be a really good light and cheaper. I got the light, 2 batteries and charger for $40. 320 lumens. Its on back-order for 2 more days though. If this one is better than my Fenix, I might be giving it to my g/f!! hehehe

Wow...good find there buddy...the reviews on it are well written (especially the 1st one) and are encouraging...please post up your thoughts on how it compares to the Fenix...I will do the same with my MTE.

 

Thanks Richy!! I wonder how long the shipping will take.
I'll let you know how it is!!

 

Heath...if that one is still on back order, you should consider THIS one. I may order it after I get back from March break. Also check out YouTube - MTE_SSC_P7_vs_Trustfire_TR_1200_5_Q5.wmv video of a comparison to the MTE which I have on order to the one I just suggested...fricking awesome! Let me know your thoughts.

 

Have to wait til I get home in the morning. YouTUbe is blocked at work. Sorry man!

Looks a little long. I like carrying mine in my pocket.

 

It can carry either 2 or 3 batteries in it so it affects the length...pretty neat feature

That is pretty neat. Looks pretty impressive from the pics on the site. How many lumen is it??

 

1200!!!! Wait till you see the video!
