DayofReckoning
Enlightened
Excited as I was to recieve my new Fenix TK47UE today, no more than a few moments shining the light around, and it was apparent to me almost immediately that this is going to have to go back for a refund.
I knew from previous threads that, due to the XHP70 LED this light uses, it was going to show a small, noticeable hint of donut hole, particularly when shown on a white wall. Sadly, my sample at least, shows a nasty looking "cross" symbol right in the middle of the hotspot that is severe enough that I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to overlook it.
I'm not a white wall hunter, and I don't mind a few artifacts or rings, but the "cross" symbol the hotspot has is just too much of an issue for me. I would hate to see one of these XHP70 in a smooth reflector.
Very disappointing, as other than this issue, it is really a nice light.
