Fenix TK20R UE Review & Beam Test! [2800 Lumens with an interesting NEW feature!]

[@mariorock76]

Good reviews as always! For me, the negative side is that there are only 4 modes instead of 5 like on the TK20R v2.0. The 150 Lumen mode is missing...I don't understand why Fenix ​​chose to do that. For the rest, this flashlite seems excellent! Do like better this model than the Tk20 V2.0?

[@danielelise7348]

The "ugly green" tint you refer to is the trademark of the Luminus SST & SFT LED's Luminus really needs to do something about it,the green tint is particularly noticeable at low levels,ie 30-150lm

[@ChrispyThings]

Definitely. But this SFT70 didn’t look that bad at all. Even lower levels

[@danielelise7348]

@@ChrispyThings Yeah they must be working to correct it because I have the Klarus XT11GT pro,which has a SST70 in it & it is GREEN 30lm,but then again my Fenix TK16 V2 has the same emitter & it's not green at all so it might be earlier iterations that were much worse.🤔

[@dkin]

To be honest you need to compare the different sst 70s and sfts 70s in different fenix lights. On the tk20r v2 it's a very close to white. If it's the e35 v3 and the pd36 tac it is slightly noticeable. After you have broken in your light the green is barely there

[@dkin]

I don't like the missing 150 mode. On the tk20r v2, Eco is 30, low is 150, med is 350, and throws farther than this

[@twosix_00]

​@@dkinit's Tk20r v2 better than this?

[@sterlingarcher46]

Man your flashlight reviews really are some of the best 👍 I really like how you show the different outputs for long enough to get a good idea, and most importantly you show the beam in a dark but not completely dark environment. Cause any light looks bright in the complete dark , so i appreciate that you show the beam in a real life usage situation . So to sum it up : great review mate 👍 !

[@ChrispyThings]

Thank you!

[@marlonsalugao6272]

Hi, How does it performed side by side with the nitecore p23i ? TIA

[@jdemara]

I just got this light and freakin love it! Cool to see a review of it already. Thanks!

[@ChrispyThings]

Which color did you get?

[@jdemara]

@@ChrispyThings I got the green one :)

[@RicardoValdes-r6w]

I am a Fenix flashlight owner and do appreciate their sound products, I do agree with your high points and low points on this particular flashlight. The hidden battery power warning light should be visible and two other points you brought to this great review, yes the holster modification should be noted by Fenix for a better upgrade design and I my opinion this flashlight I would price it at $99.95 not any higher. Thank you for the great review that provides a reliable perspective for everyone..!

Is the second button fragile?

[@DJ_CRIZP]

I have waited for this video for what has probably been weeks. Always excited to see what you have to say about flashlights that I think are interesting.

[@ChrispyThings]

Are you grabbing one?

[@DJ_CRIZP]

@@ChrispyThings I don't think so actually. I'm not sure that I like the half presses to go through the modes and the memorized strobe. But I love the rotary mode selector and the hidden USB port. And that grey is 🤌 good review!

[@Rfx372]

I have had this a month now, like the rotary switch. You negotiate to point out your usual dislike.. doesn't tail stand.thanks

[@armoredmedusa]

In China where it is made，it sells for only $68.60，so suprise to know the price is doubled.

[@DJ_CRIZP]

Can you signal with it in Tactical mode without cycling between strobe and turbo? In other words, will half presses from off cycle modes? Or just fire momentary?

[@Clitcommander5000]

Picked up the TK20R v2 last week. Love it.

[@sugarray1345]

I'm torn between this one (TK20R UE) and the TK20R v2. Which one is best in your opinion? Thank you.

I absolutely love Fenix and have probably 10 of their lights but for the love of God can they just put out a bright light with a recessed tail switch and a bezel button to change modes? This switch is just another failure point.

[@dkin]

A bezel button? Like the pd36r pro? Those some flashlights, turn on the light with tail switch and switch modes by side switch? I can never understand how u gotta swap holding positions. Tail stand is great but not always for tactical, the wings can obstruct the thumb operation

[@a.c.2219]

@dkin I've been using Streamlights with recessed tail buttons for years without issue. The lack of good holsters for Fenix stuff means I have to carry it in a HSG mag pouch upside down and the non recessed tail button frequently causes the light to turn itself on. I put up with it because the brightness and durability is unmatched but if they sold recessed tail caps separately like Nitecore does I'd buy one immediately.

[@dkin]

@@a.c.2219 I have lights that have a tail switch and can tail stand and I have lights with a tail switch that can't tail stand. I find that my thumb hits something if it's not fully centre vs the non tail stand light when I pull my light out quick to use. That being said, it's nice to have tail stand as a feature, but with these lights that are expensive I would not want to tail stand them and walk away especially if they are tactical lights. Yes Fenix could make better holsters.

A Year Later What's Your Thoughts?

[@98270360]

Burned 3 holes in my pockets with these Fenix flashlights, 2 with this one.. lock off feature is close to worthless when carry in a pocket using the clip.

[@ChrispyThings]

They need a lockout switch like the Nitecore EDC33 or 35

[@todds2254]

Finally something that might compete with Acebeam P17.

🤣

[@ChrispyThings]

These flashlight videos take long enough to edit. No time for more B roll! Lol

[@BladderProductions]

@@ChrispyThings I bought The Light Warrior Mini on that bundle sale but I was interested in what you thought of this flashlight too. Did you mention the lack of a tail stand?I'm like you, I love the ability to tail stand my flashlight at work.

[@cajunoneforchrist]

$127.00 Ouch
