I'm loving how they've adopted the EC11 dual rubber switches for this tiny monster. Other tiny monsters use those dual-stage single buttons which have varied in quality between models, so I like that they're trying something new.

Even with the newer K60 out, I still have my eye on the K40M! It uses MT-G2 emitter with a nice 5000K. I'm guessing more flood than the TN16. The TM16 appears to only be a cool white XM-L2 unfortunately.

Where did you see this? Do we know anything about the stats?

Can't find it at this moment, but I do know it's coming. No specs known, to me for now.
Do you think fenix will come up with a better light than the TM16?
I was thinking of getting the TM16 but don't want to be dissapointed if something else that's better showed up.
Would the TM16 need high discharge batteries or can I use the Panasonic 3400mah for longer run times?

Now if zebralight would just come back out with the 6330! Nice looking light but a bit on the larger size for my taste.

I guess time will tell,,,,Personally I think Fenix will come up w/ a better light than the TM16. I know my TK75vn KT is better! ,not fair..modded vs. stock.
Standard Panasonic 3400mAh will be fine.
Yes, Fenix, need to come up, with a 300 kcd plus thrower, and a 200 kcd flood/throwerlight.
The stock TK61, is really underpowered.
When they sell it, without dome, it will do easily, over 400 kcd.
But, lets wait, and see.

Based on the Acebeam quality that I've seen, I'll take the Nitecore TM16.
I've got a K40vn and a K50 and the machining is lacking.
Also own TM06, TM15, TM26 and TM36. So the TM16 is a natural fit.

^^^^ Just a thought here,,,,Machining is one thing RELIABILITY is another.
I can only base Nitecore off of their EC11 which lasted me 6 weeks..apparently ALL the delays prior to release did not resolve their issues.

I have a first or second batch TM26 which is still flawless till today and I like the compact size and output. Other than the TM26 all my other Nitecore lights have gone kaput. Very dead. I am really keen on this TM16 and I hope it will be as reliable as my TM26. And I hope Nitecore would come up with neutral beam as well for this one.

I wouldn't let an anecdotal report sway you either way. My experience with Nitecore has been overwhelmingly positive...you can check my sig, and find all the Nitecore models I have (more than any other brand). To date, I have not had a single failure.
My experience is no more indicative of overall quality or reliability than pjandyho's...the point is that if you like a light, give it a shot! If it fails, there is a warranty...and you'll know more when the next potential purchase catches your eye.
Some about a few months but most within a few days of ownership. I returned them back to the dealer.
Thats right. There is the warranty to take care of things, however Nitecore made me pay for shipping to send it back to me other than the price I need to pay for to ship it to them. I weighed the necessary costs and time involved and decided I would just trash the light.

I dont believe the TM16 needs high discharge batteries, so save your money and buy 3-5A 18650's.
