Re: Fenix TK40 part2
A question for anyone who has received their TK40. Just what is the purpose of the braided black string thing-a-ma-bob? Surely it is not meant to be a hand lanyard for such a beefy flashlight. If I can get my camera to work, I'll post a photo of it. In the mean time, could someone else shoot a picture of it and post it so others will know what I'm talking about. It's kind of neat but I just can't figure out what it's for. Mine is 6 1/2 inches long with a dozen square braided knots in the center, with 2 inch loops on each end, and fashioned from thin, black cord (not as substantial as paracord, but thin as string).

Re: Fenix TK40 part2
Just got my tk40 today, here are my thoughts, and my first post.
1.not as big and bulky as I thought it was going to be,perfect size and feel.
2.U.I. is very easy and simple...most important you do not have to activate strobe mode to jump through the levels. Switch has a great feel to it.
3.Beam is perfect white tint,no rings or artifacts. Very bright on turbo mode.
4.Perfect night stand light or walking the dog light. You would be able to put it in your back pants pocket if you need both hands free.
will try to post a youtube video tonight.

Re: Fenix TK40 part2
i'm scratching my head on the braided string also. i slipped both of the end loops over the body at the switch end and they make a little loop your finger or a clip might fit in, but i'm not sure if that's right.

Could someone who has one of these neat lights comment on how well it is balanced. Loaded with 8 batteries, I would imagine it might be a bit tail heavy.

Re: Fenix TK40 part2
A/V Dude, nice pictures but until you are able to resize them to the maximum allowed size (800x800 pixels), I suggest you remove them from your post. I believe you will have to resize them at the site of your image hosting service (PhotoBucket).
Just a thought/suggestion.
EDIT: Nice light and pictures, thanks for resizing.

To resize, just open the pic with Irfanview (it's free) (or other comparable program) and resize it to whatever size. Save it and upload it again to Photobucket.

Re: Fenix TK40 part2
Well night fell here and I stepped onto my balcony to test the throw of my TK40. Wow, is all I can say. A hundred yards and it lit up an entire condo building, bringing people out of their homes. They looked terrified and all I could do is giggle. It has a strobe setting that is like a camera's flash going off every second and it is impressive and much more fun than your average strobe flutter. I liken it to an aircraft beacon going off, what fun.
I've got to say, this is the most fun I've had with a new toy since I modded a $17 Black & Decker rechargeable, spotlight with a 100 watt halogen bulb for something like 1,800 lumens. I made a number of them up for my friends and family. There's a guy's house facing me a long block away and it tickles me to antagonize him when he's in his garage, and this light works great for it. Before you accuse me of giving this illness a bad reputation, I try not to intimidate my neighbors after their bedtime.:naughty:

Re: Fenix TK40 part2
got mine today!! trust me, it's brighter than a TK10. i have a T1, and the TK40 blows it away. it's not tail heavy or anything; perfectly balanced. feels really good in your hand. amazingly bright. crazy bright. i love the different strobe/flash modes. the one slow flash is like a pulse. it'd be neat for a locater beacon. just a really solid feel. i like the switch a lot. the UI is great; strange at first, but i caught on quick and love it. judging from the pictures i had seen, i thought it was going to be a little bigger. i'm glad it was smaller than i thought. it's the perfect size. the TK40 exceeded my expectations; and they were high. i'm really happy how there's a big difference between all the brightness levels. everything was done really well. i say PERFECTION! it's too big for EDC, but it's my 'go to' light for pretty much every flashlight situation. i can almost say that this is MY flashlight and i won't need to buy anymore ever again, but we both know that ain't true.

I think the diameter is a little bigger than a D size battery.

Re: Fenix TK40 part2
You have defied moderator instructions by initially replacing the pictures, still over-sized. Only later, following pressure from other members, did you relent and resize them. The replacing of the pictures was itself a further deliberate violation of Rule 3. You compounded that with your insulting post and refusal to comply with moderator instructions, in blatant defiance of Rule 8. It is worth quoting Rule 8 here:
If you ever return, your behavior and attitude will need to have undergone a profound change, or your stay will be very brief and final one.
It may not have occurred to you (although it is very obvious to everyone else) that your post there is by any standards extraordinarily offensive. It is also a very stupid post indeed, and it illustrates an attitude which cannot be permitted to survive here on CPF.

There are occasional violations of parts of that rule, but it is very rare indeed to find an instance where the entire rule has been comprehensively flouted by one member in a single action. That is what you have managed to do, and in consequence you are now suspended from this forum for a lengthy period.Rule 8 said:

This is my first post :wave: and I thought I would try to contribute on the resizing issues before somebody gets the axe. Resizing pictures is a pain in the a$$ especially if you have no photo editor so this is what I do:
This is based upon MS operating system.
1. Go to the folder where your pictures are.
2. Select the pictures you want to upload to CPF by (drag n hold)
3. Now left click with the mouse and choose Send To >>>>Mail Recipient
4. Now a small window pops up asking you about the picture size.
5. Choose small 800x600 (legal size for CPF) and than Attach.
6. After a few seconds or so a NEW MAIL window will open with the pictures as an attachment.
7. Now select all the pictures and in the Attached row and Copy to any location and upload the new legal size to us.
Sounds confusing and time consuming but it is a lot faster than many other methods.
By the way. I went to DHL tracking and my TK40 should be at my doorstep early in the morning.
I will put it up against the TK11 and PD30 and hopefully post some nice pictures. I am no camera pro but cant one LOCK the aperture on a camera to do some of these flashlight pictures some justice?
Cheers!
