Last Fenix i bought was an E05 but i allready had:
-E01
-LD01
-MC10
-LD10
-LD20
-LD22
-L2D
-LD41
-LD40
-TK10 (black and green)
-TK11
-TK20
-TK40
-HL10
I think that was all :thinking:
 
Guess I should check in since I'm new to the forum and my interest in Fenix as of late is the reason I'm here. So as of today my inventory includes:

LD15
E01 (2)
LD22 (4) (I keep one of these in each of my coats)
PD35
TK75

I've had a couple changes to obtain warranty service and must say that overall I am pleased with the Fenix US warranty.

Glad to be on the forum!

Wow, lots and lots of great Fenix collections in this thread!!!

I personally have owned quite a few myself...Fenix was my intro to the hobby and I went through that initial period of finding out what I liked and, perhaps most importantly, finding out what I didn't like. I've owned the E05, LD01, LD01 SS, E01, E21, E25, LD20, LD22, LD15, TK41, TK45, TK20, and maybe one or two more that escape me at the moment.

Of those the only one I kept was actually the E01 (which, for my uses, is the hands-down best thrash-the-hell-out-of-it keychain light ever). I'm an AA guy that loves tail-standing and moonlight modes, otherwise I'm sure I'd have kept the LD22 and one of the 2xAA throwers, as Fenix quality has thoroughly impressed me.
 
Aloha,

I am new to the forum and also a new Fenix owner. I came here to do research on a light that I heard fellow officers raving about. That light was the PD35 and that was my first Fenix purchase. This has turned into my primary carry with my department issued Pelican 2360 being my backup. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the light. Now I have other officers asking me where I got such a powerful flashlight lol. I am looking into getting another Fenix, maybe something small AA powered and maybe something a little bigger than the PD35 so that I have a full range of lights for any situation. Glad to be a member of this forum and I look forward to learning more about everything.

TK75 Ordered and paid for but still awaiting delivery.

OOOOOOH! IN!
I first found Fenix at SHOT show (08-09?) many moons ago.
I ordered a P30D (heh, not PD30) and upon receipt was hooked. (Previously I was SF-boy. P6, G2's) I have since not been without a Fenix EDC light.
Once the P30D was placed into inactive ready reserve, I started carrying a PD32. Next up is a TK22!

Your department actually issues a crappy 2AA light like the 2360? That's rather surprising to hear. I own one myself. It's one of the worst lights I've ever owned. As usual, sometimes you're forced to buy your own gear if you want something even decent.

Having a Fenix bunch including the TK70 and thr TK75 what do you or any other owner think of the RC40. I have all of the Olight big lights like the SR (SR90, SR95, SR95UT S) series with the sealed battery packs and I don't mind the multi-baterry packs. At least they all cross fit each other perfectly if one unit is low on power or you need spare packs charged up.

Being chargeable on 12VDC is so handy at times.

One question is how do you lock out the battery pack for travelling so it does not accidentaly switch on around in rough back seats without having to unscrew the head and casing threads nearly completely undone?

On my Fenix TK75 (which I absolutely love) I just take the battery carrier out and pop it back in reversed, with no no problems at all after fitting a piece of insultion.

I have glued a very thin piece of black rubbber into the tailcap (about 2 inches in diameter) to keep things electrically isolated so that no electrical damage occurs.

The material inside the rear cap is now insulated to keep things safe and there are no other physical issues at all that are apparent.

Lockout and battery voltage should be mandatory on all high-end lights IHMO.

The TK76 is a strange looking bit of kit. STAR TREK here I come!!!

On a sad note, the OMG Lumens DEFT-X is being retired after many issues. How does that genius Michael (Saabluster) sleep at night.

I am lucky to have gotten hold of my DEFT-X about 4 months ago for the price before things stated winding up and what is left is procey.

Michael's Onestopthrowshop.com is still online modifying various lights that I have bought over the years. He does great work and is an up-front guy.

I wonder what Michael the Thrower Wizard will come up with next.

I have a few Dereelights like the Aspheric XSearcher and Night Master and many other lights both flooder and throwers and the most useable light apart from the tiny pocketable AAA Olight i3S EOS for EDC and my main go to light is my Fenix TK75. GO FENIX GO!!!

I have both the "Powerhouse" Firefoxes FF3 and FF4 but don't using them like the Fenix TK75 etc as many lights are just show ponies.

I have the Thrunite range in the high up end an they are pretty good like the TN31 and TN32 which the DEFT-X is based on.

The Stanley HID output is pathetic in beam colour, artifacts and rings etc on the target compared to the Firefoxes HIDs of late.

The old Stanley weighs far too much to carry around after only a short time. The Olight SR90 is heavy too but was a light to benchmark all other throwing lights against.

It was KING for quite a when other lights were needed to benchmark it against. I still have mine, oh my aching BACK!!!!

I have about 8 Skyray Kings scattered about the house, the workshop and my cars car as they are reliable and cheap but no up to Fenix standards yet!!!!HID

I hope to be talking about an Fenix RC40 next time we post.

I hope to test the RC40 against my TK75 over at his shop one night soon as he is a good mate and dealer for a few different brands.

The Fenix TK75 has just the right mix of flood and throw for one light.

I am totally agree with you! It's one of the best flashlights ever made in this regard.

I have RC40, TK75 (XM-L2) and PD35. I will buy TK76 and TK61 (when it'll be available on market).

You think that's bad you should see the big flashlight they give us... It's another pelican, the M10 8040 Flashlight. This is one superb piece of garbage that comes in at a whopping 67 lumens! This is our main flashlight they issue us and the 2360 is suppose to be our secondary. I would have been happier with a 3c mag lite or something. They issued my whole group one of these and some came with battery holders and some did not. The ironic thing is the ones with the battery holder didn't work. The guys had to take it out and throw it away it was preventing the battery's from making contact with the light. Most of these broke the first time they were dropped during training. I have included the link so you you can see the picture of the cop using this light on a traffic stop. I can guarantee you that the throw and the beam look nothing like the illustration lol. I don't mind buying my own gear, I just wish the department would stop spending money on crap like this and then complain that we're 50 years behind the mainland in terms of gear issued.

That's unfortunate to hear, but sadly not surprising.
 
Just picked up an LD12. I was turned on to Fenix by a good friend and coworker. Love how I can run a pretty handy light on a single AA battery. This is my new EDC (replacing a surefire) I can already see myself posting more and more about new lights to come.

Thank you all for the great info posted throughout this forum. I'm glad I joined CPF! I hope to add some info/insight of my own.


Aloha,

John
 
I stepped into the world of flashlights with buying a Led Lenser P7. I thought it was one of the brightest torches you can have.....

After discovering CPF I bought a Fenix TK35.... and the TK50, TK70, E15, E35, HL30, E40....

I have some other brands in my collection, but I prefer Fenix :thumbsup:

On my wishlist are the TK75, TK61 and the TK32
