I have seen this subject posted for a few other lights, but not mine so I thought I would make it mostly brand specific.I also would appreciate experiences in this regard with "Other" high powered torches.
I will start by saying the BEST answers that I received for this phenomenon/dilemma were on CPF.
That answer is, when they are assembled in the factory, sometimes the humidity in these facilities is high, therefore the moisture gets trapped in when the head is sealed.
Now, try to get the manufacturer[in China] or sales/ repairs in this country to tell you that! They won't! I shot down both of their replies with credible evidence.
One reason was they tried to attribute the problem to me using NO-OX-ID on the threads and o'rings! WRONG answer! The problem existed before I ever applied NO-OX-ID. If that was the reason, wouldn't there be a "FILM" on the lense instead of it completely dissipating? Finally, the new[replacement] one that I received yesterday started to get condensation on lens with in 12 minutes of turbo. I did not put any grease on that one!!
Am I controversial??!! I don't think so, just trying to get the REAL reason for this!!
The other reason[from China headquarters] was that this fogging/ condensation is NORMAL when using turbo with that much heat. Something like the inside of the lens is very hot, the outside is cooler, therefore generating condensation that will eventually dissipate.It does dissipate in 15 to 30 minutes after torch is off.
However, if this is the case, then WHY DOESN'T Fenix have an Asterisk[ ***] or Three in the manual stating that condensation/fogging MAY occur when using light on turbo for extended periods of time???Also, how come this SEEMS to be an isolated problem,,,me and some others! U.S.A. Dealers say they have rarely heard of it. China says it is NORMAL!!! Sounds contradictory to me!
So, has anyone else had this reoccurring problem with the TK-75 and also for those of you who have other high powered torches, have any of you encountered this and what have you been told and what do you believe??!!
I have always been an inquisitive and curious person who likes to find answers/the truth!
The reality is sometimes it is difficult, not worth it and what may be a reality for one, can be an illusion for another!
To sum it up, as long as the condensation/fogging dissipates and NEVER forms water droplets to damage the light, it is NOT a major concern. I am not going to send back my Second light for a third that MAY do the same thing! It is just frustrating because of the contradicting information! Again, I think the best and most logical answers were given to me by very knowledgeable people on here. That is the one I believe[Happened in the factory/sealed in moisture].
I also want to say that Fenix Outfitters is a great company and they have taken care of me and I am sure they will continue to do so in the future. I JUST WANT ANSWERS!!!
I would greatly appreciate all feedback regarding this mystery!:thinking:
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!:twothumbs
