My impressions of the TK75 is so far good and i am planning to buy it, but if it turns out that one can run it on the highest mode for only 20 minutes and not being able to restart it again at the highest mode, then i will not buy it!
.
So were the pictures of the TK70 head to TK75 body adapter mockups a potentially official thing? Or someone's home project. While I do like what I've seen of the TK75 thus far on the 'net, aside from the skinny 'neck', I think I'd prefer the TK70/75 frankenstein.
The TK70 doesn't have a timer for its Max output does it? From what I've seen, it has enough spill for me, and is a noticeably better thrower. Just swap the form factor so the TK70 doesn't resemble a mace or war club from medieval times.

A dealer in Hongkong said he is awaiting delivery of battery tube adaptors for the TK70 head for use with 18650s.

Is it HKE?
Any ETA on the adapters? I picked mine up from shaologear.com and they had them instock. I will get it in the am.
How do the Fenix batt. compare to other that have been tested? Like Panasonic? Thanx!

I also wonder about all these things mentioned above! Since now it´s officially that the TK75 drops down to 40% in effect after 20 minutes of use and can be permanently damaged if one reactivates it immediately, i have now abandoned any purchase plan of the TK75.
I've always liked your vids Patriot, Nice job!
If the TK70's form factor is the primary detractor, how about the TK70 with adapter to use the TK75 body vs the TK75?Thanks buddy! I appreciate that!
Just finished editing part 1 of the full video review. I've included more beamshots, with better quality, out to 640 yards. Yeah, 640 yards on a powerline tower! Even I was surprised to see that. The others were at 200 yards on a powerline tower with really good comparison results....almost exactly what the eye was seeing.
I got to thinking about the performance to dollar value of the TK75 and can't really think of any other light that can better it at this time. It nearly throws as well as the SR90 but with a much nicer, wider, search beam.
I'm impressed that Fenix seems to have been listening to enthusiast and for bringing us a 4 x 18650 light. I respect the TK70 but would never personally own one. Too much goofball factor with length and batteries since I don't use D size for anything else. I think they should have designed that light as a side by side and given it a top carry handle. I always prefer the most compact formula I can get my hands on IF it will fulfill the role it's designed for. I'm going to call the TK75 the ultimate, LED, SAR light. At least it's the one that I would choose after witnessing what I've seen so far.

Short form factor, 4x18650, better thrower but still decent spill, bigger head but better heatsinking (and no timer restriction on Max/Turbo? Can someone confirm this for the TK70?). Would you still pick the 75? I'm curious. It would be even better if someone had both to directly compare them 'cuz I'm seriously considering getting one or the other.
At this time though, IF the TK70 can handle Max/Turbo output better without a timer or potentially reaching damaging temperatures in constant Max output under the same ambient conditions as the 75, I would lean towards the 70 with 75 body adapter.
