Fenix TK35 UE & TK35 L2 - Pictures, Impressions

[CUL8R]

yes, more beamshot comparison (60m distance) coming soon, but I need more time, I'm waiting for optimal weather/time, TN35L2 and UE vs other lights, eg Thrunite TN35 MT-G2, Niwalker Nova MM15, Fenix RC40 etc

Thank you. Looking forward to them. All your pictures and comparisons are great!

Thanks very much for the additional beam shots. To my eye, this TK35UE makes the more expensive TK76 look silly.

Appreciate the effort.

For what it's worth, I've been using the TK35UE and the E35UE for about a week now. The TK35UE is awesome. It is powerful and very floody with an even beam pattern and very warm in color. The form factor, although it looks a bit wierd, actually is very comfortable. Very happy with it. The E35UE is a complete disappointment. The beam intensity is a huge jump down from the PD35 (a great light in and of itself), the pattern is not as even, and the form factor makes it next to impossible to operate in the dark, which is presumably when one needs a flashlight

Fantastic photos and comparison, thank you! Supbeam X60 is impressive, as was the TN35. Pics raise my interest in the PD35 and T70.

Was the MM15 on turbo? No doubt it was lighting up areas outside the field of view.

 

[gopajti]

pageyjim, thank you, yes, all flashlights worked turbo mode with fully charged batteries as always. Nova beam is extremly wide!

Thank you for the new comparison beam shots. They help Confirm my belief this is an extremely versatile midsize light with a very nice beam. It will be replacing one of my other lights in my BOB and also for backpacking. I have a X60vn and TN35vn, and really love them both, but when it comes to carrying lights with me any distance, this will be one that will come along. Also will carry a small thrower (S200C2vn) and a good headlight.

Thanks for the review Gopajti! I just noticed your "recommendations" part and appreciate that - sometimes when I ask which batteries work good I think guys are trying to avoid recommending a particular brand but the answer gets too long and my head hurts! :thumbsup:

I bought one of these as a gift for someone else but didn't use it myself other than briefly playing with it in the dark the night before I gave it just to make sure it was working properly! I liked the way the side by side arrangement felt in the hand and was contemplating getting one for myself - the "thrower" XML2 version. I'm looking for a "XXL-EDC" light and wonder what you guys that have this think of the size for carrying in a pocket. For a point of reference most days I EDC a Eagletac GG25C2 in a "side sap" pocket with the 40mm bezel facing down. Sitting down, riding my motorcycle I rarely notice that it is there. A larger light such as the Eagletac S200C (48 mm head) is about as big as I want to carry in those pockets; I always notice it but it usually doesn't bother me.
I know the TK35 is bigger than the single 18650 S200C but the heads not that much bigger... and I'm thinking possibly that although the body is bigger on the TK35 perhaps it wouldn't make much of a difference since the head is the biggest part on both? Any thoughts?

At the level of 750 lumens how many cd (lux) are there?

 

[Grijon]

Awesome stuff; thank you, gopajti!

 

[markr6]

I sort of have an itch for a stupid-floody light. This may work, or the EagleTac MX25L3C with the Nichia 219! Can't seem to talk myself into another $80+ unnecessary purchase
