![Fenix TK20R UE Review & Beam Test! [2800 Lumens with an interesting NEW feature!]](/img/tr.png)
Freakin sick!! Thanks for the night demo bro✌
Awesome videos! Thank you for putting in the work! I noticed the drop time from turbo was longer outdoors. Not significantly but still longer. 49 secs to be exact. I might get a minute out of it up here in Canada. 😉
Got my TK20R V2 about a week ago. I'm just now seeing your video, and I got to say, I'm feeling pretty good about my purchase. Great video and very informative. Thanks, for making my day.
It still works?
I just got mine now, and I'm a little "Meh..." over it.
It's not a bad light, it works, but the cycling button is way too sensitive for my taste, if I even brush it when turning the light on it switch mode. Wouldn't have mind if it took a wee bit more pressure to cycle.
And the beam profile is ok-ish but for my personal preference I'd rather go with my PD40R V3.
All-in-all, I don't regret getting this one, but I'm not going to recommend it to everyone I know.
Thanks for this very detailed review.
I own one myself very pleased with it. Excellent video bud.
Nice Review!
I like the new Fenix LD22 V2.0 with 2x AA and Battery pack.
Finally a flashlight and not a wallet. Love you flashlight reviews sir!👍🏽👍🏽
I review plenty of flashlights. But there’s been so many wallet releases as of late!
@@ChrispyThings NEED 24 TAC LIGHTS TODAY..FAVORITE LESS THAN 150 EACH ? ( ANY BRAND, MUST BE QUALITY)
Great videos! We would love to see you put the flashlight in your pocket to get an idea of size and how well these lights pocket carry.
I miss the cooler white on the Fenix lights. I thought that the warmer white would be superior but I was wrong. Cooler white on those older models, provided an easy for the eye view, that it was so lovely when I was walking out in the dark trails! Difference may sound little to someone who hasn't tried both, but it is huge for me. I also liked way more, the longer runtimes, and the robustness and fit and finish of the older models. My LD 12 had seen so much abuse, that I can't believe It would last all those years, working and looking as day one!!! It had hundreds of falls, either from my pocket or hands to the ground, or from way higher places, like the balcony to the street, which actually happened, the first day I got it!! It didn't even had a scratch on the finish!!! Now ,I read complaints, that they break sometimes with just one fall to the ground... sure thing is, they don't last as the old ones, and that's true, for their runtimes that I checked...The older the better I guess, is a quote, that has to do with all gear and tools.
I picked this bad boy up after watching your vid brother!! This is a sick torch!! The hidden charging port is slick as hell and beats a cheap ass rubber flap any day!! The only thing thats lame is they removed the glass breaker striking points!! WTF?? Put em back on Fenix!! Other than that this thing is built like a freakin tank!! BOOM🤘
I also agree with you on the moon mode! 30 lumens may not be that bright but a 1-2 lumen mode is great for reading things up close and will preserve your night vision and also be less likely to give your position away!!
The TK26 needs a version 2 that's their best light by far every light should have red as a secondary option
Good review. Nice light 🙂
I want the USB-C port covered because I climb around in muddy areas for work so I needed this one over the other cool smaller one I think I like better. Don't forget if you use his link they will engrave a cool picture and customized wording on this for free!!!! I love bass fishing so that was extra cool!
Thank you.
Хороший фонарь! спасибо за обзор.
good beamshot 👍
Really interesting light, but being in Sweden I may have to wait a year or two before version 2.0 is available at a normal price. At the moment I can spend the equivalent of $130 (not counting shipping) for the 1000 lm version..
im done. searhing is over. im buying it right now! this is the best tactical flashlight no doubt!
and you are happy with it
I like ur review
Thanks
So If you had to pick this bad boy or the TK22 Tac which one would you go with??
Im thinking about ht18 or tk20r v2, planing to use it for a bit of patroling, hunting and walking, wich one should i get
Which company has a long turbo, olight or Fenix on their tactical line based on your experience
These videos are fantastic. I'm trying to decide between the Tk20r v2 and the pd40r. v3 I would love some intput.. I use these lights for 4 months of the year (spring/summer/fall) to walk the desert looking for nocturnal reptiles/amphibians. I need a bit of spill but mostly looking for the best runtime at 1000 lumens, which seems to be 3 hours on average. (not great but acceptable). I have other fenix lights just looking for a new one for my birthday. Thank you for the input! (Also sorry, heat is a factor. I don't plan to use turbo, so whichever is coolest and longest run time at around 1k lumens is fantastic).
Which did you go with friend?
Just ordered mine
Brother, mine locks down to 3 modes only eco, low , med as soon the battery indicator starts showing red light. I cannot access high and turbo when battery indicator is constant red. It is still 50%, half of backup is available. Is it the same case with yours.
Good review. I found it interesting that even though the TK20 has better battery life, a longer throw and an led battery life indicator (albeit covered) which the TK16 does not have, you still preferred the TK16. How 'bout the spill ? Did you feel it was better with the TK16 ?
True. Just something about that light I love
@@ChrispyThingswhat is it? Lol
Yeah I love the tk20 v2.0 it’s just a tk16 but slightly better. You’d only like the tk16 better if you had some prior connection or preference for it
@@jerryrocketandthegogogirls3517 thanks for your input
These reviews are excellent! Straight to the point, why do you like TK16 V2 more than TK20R?
Just a personal preference. Almost everything about the TK16 v2 is perfect for me
I was wondering if you were going to do a review of the new Dango carabiner? Before I buy any edc I wait till your review.
I saw that. It looks nice but doesn’t I’ll get around to reviewing that unfortunately. If anything changes soon I’ll message back here
Can you compare the beam shot with olight warrior x 3?? They run same led sft70.
the beam of the x3 is a bit more bright but the one of the tk20r is bigger, if you want to use it for self defense purpose, you should buy they tk20r
tk 20v2 vs pd36r pro , Which one should I choose?
Thanks for the review. Is the back of the holster MOLLE compatible? If instead it is designed for a belt, is it held by velcro, a button or permanently sewn? Thanks!
Hi!
It's permanently sewn
How is it molle compatible ?
Why is it so much heavier than the TK 16 ?
TK16 V2 > anything for the price, power, portability.
Please reply if you have other options in mind that are better or on same level.
Just curious why do you think the TK16 V2 is still better than this one?
It’s just a better over all light that feels more like a tac/self defense light than this “multi purpose” tac light.
I think the beam profile is slightly better. The bezel is far better.
But I did a whole video on the TK16 v2. Watch that. 👍🏻
bonjour merci pour ton ta revu qui et pertinente va tu tester la tk22r? cr j hésite entre les 2?
I'm gonna stick with Olight....Their Warrior series lights are awesome
Very true
sorry but nope👎
Can u do compare this light with flexing c7
Brother, mine locks down to 3 modes only eco, low , med as soon the battery indicator starts showing red light. I cannot access high and turbo when battery indicator is constant red. It is still 50%, half of backup is available. Is it the same case with yours.
Yes. Most lights will don that to save batt power
Great flashlight. Anyone found a good holster for it? The one that comes with it is definitely crap.
It's a shame it can't throw properly.
Do you know of flashlight which is comparable in size and does not waste light when it throws?
WOW TK 16 OVER THIS, WOW..WAS JUST GONNA BUY 24 OF THEM Oo
Can it cause a fire when left on ?
Do you like this or the TK16v2 better? I have the TK16v2 coming today and wondering if I should have gotten this one instead. The bit longer throw is kind of nice. I see the 20 is a bit heavier and longer though.
I believe I said that that I liked the TK16 v2 in this video. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@ChrispyThings Doh sorry I missed the end. Thanks!
@@ChrispyThings I'm just curious why you like the TK16v2 better, can you please give us some details on why you like the 16 over the 20? Thanks!
Hey how is the holster? Is it better than the skinny ones they had before?
Still a fairly skinny holster with a Velcro flap. I don’t like it but I’m not a fan of these types of holsters in general
@@ChrispyThings oh damn haha. Thanks!
can it actualyl break glass as good as the TK16 considering that it doesn't have the spikes?
I haven’t been in a situation where I had to use the glass breaker yet.
But I’m guessing the tungsten beads would do a better job
Why don't these flashlights come with a turning top so you can add or subtract flood? Does anyone know of any with that style?
Those are not very popular but you can look at the Fenix FD41
Lying on a table decrease air cooling. Is turbo mode time much increased when a flashlight is in your hand and head isn't covered? (Had to be same wind/temperature conditions for adequate comparison.)
Once again, this isn’t scientific
That said, same numbers holding it. That has zero effect on this light.
Can you use this on 3000 lumens for a continued amount of time , or will it always step down?
After 40 second or so
Off topic, but what watch is that? Thanks.
Dango Chrono
When it drops down at 43 seconds .. can you hit it straight back to turbo for another 43 seconds. I realize that you don't want to overdo it. I wonder if it is a programmed 43 seconds. That would be good.
no its an heat activated switch, not a timer, sorry
Looks like the c7 but more tactical
Can we order another extra battery?
I’d say check the Fenix website
Am I interpreting this correctly, you only really get 43 seconds of turbo mode? Might as well not even exist...
It depends how you use a light. I use 'em for dog walks. You don't need 3k lumens for the normal walk but medium is enough. But if you wanna check out something in the distance quickly, then you are happy if you get a powerful mode. I only need that for a couple of seconds and then can go back to a medium mode. It's like a car accelerating 0-60 in 4 seconds. You don't need that every time but you will be happy if you can ;)
Can it use with arb l21 5000u battery?
Yes, 5000 or 5000U as well
Have green blue light?
Tell me you didn’t watch the video without telling me you didn’t watch the video
The Turbo mode can sustain only for 30 seconds and it automatically downshifts to the next lower level mode.
I am guessing because of the heat. I can imagine how hot it probably gets.
I hate these flashlights that have a huge
output but can only sustain it for a few seconds.. or have a giant gap between output modes. 1000 -3000 is ridiculous. A flashlight of this size with the current technology should be around 2100 lumens max.
Would you sell it?
Fenix flashlights step down when they get hot. Try the Streamlight Protac xl5 It stays on 3,500 lumens for 75 minutes without stepping down.
Have you tested that?
@@ChrispyThings yes, i own 4
True, but it’s more than twice the weight and is 50% larger in dimensions.
I.wants.to.buy.this.torch.plz.tell.me.its.price.
Link in the description has up to date prices
This make a good police duty light?
Absolutely
The TK22TAC would as well
@@MemphisMojo15s tac22 is good but its switch mode is annoying:(
@@efeegemen7979 my PD36TAC is the same way. Same switch. It gets annoying
Your soccer field is off, or this light skips 2m
I used google maps to measure the distances. I know it’s not perfect
Thank you, good review, required V3, because, it's too bad that it doesn't stand on its back, strobe light is an absolutely useless thing. I've never needed it in my life, it irritates people and is of zero use.
For a tactical light it is extremely useful to disorient potential threats, or signal others
All of these Flashlight manufacturers give the same inflated run times on turbo for their flashlights. Flat out misrepresentations. I was really interested in purchasing that light since I love my PD36R. But with the short run time on turbo and the awkward charging port that hides the state of charge indicator... Think I'll take a pass on this one. Thanks for your review.
i have a pd36r and the rubber flap tore out in a year., and before it broke of it also stretched or something as it wouldn't even fit/close properly anymore. Was not possible to get it replaced, at least the port itself is still waterproof, but now its going to get filled with dust. I'm probably going to get this tk20r at somepoint. I just wish you could also use the port to discharge the light into a phone or watever to be able to use it as a powerbanck.
@@ShadowWhippler how dirty does your cell phone charge port get? I've never seen one come with a cover from the factory. The only port cover we have are from certain cases. I always worried about my light getting dirty too, but have never had an issue from ripping my cover off of my PD36R 😊
Kind of love when people add the word tactical to a flashlight, there’s nothing tactical about it look up the definition of the word
Anything designed to be used in a tactical setting can carry the moniker *"tactical."* Throw a striking bezel on something and it's considered *"tactical"* in the most literal definition of the word. Well ignore the strobe, IPX rating, etc. So unless you're part of the Fenix design team and disagree that they developed this product for LE/MI, please enlighten us, or go to Google and *"look it up."*
As someone that traveled the world teaching good guys to end bad guys in the dark, I carried a fenix in my pocket, so... Yeah
So the turbo is a joke
Most turbo modes are
You could have shown range better
What range? What are you speaking of?
I’m fact never mind .
I’m not currently taking suggestions for my content. Thanks though
You’re trying to show the dam output and beam do we really need the super fast side to side movements.
And stop with the tactical crap Look up the meaning of the word it’s an action not a description. I could sell ice to people just by adding the word tacticool in front of it
Well built but pricey.
CONS---no monlight mode and no "doube click for Turbo"...what is FENIX thinking??? Do they noot see that the competitin is oing?? Yet I bough the TK16R :)) LOL!! Dang...live and learn. Till Fenix gets it right...never guy another...I'm not...
Seems Olight are the oky guys getting it right.....in the overall desdgin i mean....most other brands do have a moonlight mode and "doube blick T mode"....Olight gets more things right than most...Thrunite not bad good price...but lacks THROW lights (only has the TN12 and the ...ummm...forget the name of their THower lights line...heh...any ow not to the same quality as Olight's Javalot and Warrior X lines....
