Last week I received the new flashlight I had selected. I had ordered a Fenix TK10 but a TK11 arrived, I am not going to knock the free upgrade (TK10 and TK11 appear the same except for the rechargeable battery option).

The light appears very tough and well designed, it came with a nice belt pouch but I choose to carry it lens down in an old OC spray pouch, I find I can access it faster.

The package was missing the accessory kit (lanyard, spare switch/o-rings, body ring) so I contacted the Canadian retailer and received an instant reply; accessory kit in the mail that day with an apology and free 10-pack of batteries. The service from this retailer has been terrific ( http://www.fenixtactical.com/ ).

I used the flashlight last week at work in the forest and found it great, but I did not realize how bright the light was until I attended night training with 15 co-workers. Everyone had their favorite belt light, (Surefire, Stinger, Nightfighter, lots of Scorpions) but the Fenix blew them away; it was obviously brighter, had a "cleaner" type of beam and projected the beam much further.

I found only 2 negatives; not being rubber-coated I would not advise holding the light in your teeth (you could wrap some Gorrila tape around it) and when on Turbo (225 Lumens) if in error you "flash" the barricade in front of you (instead of the target) it really hurts your night vision.

I have little to say about the durability of the light as I have only had it about 10 days. I dropped it in the dirt a couple of times and once hard onto concrete; no damage or change in performance.

I am pleased with the choice I made, "Thank You" all for your advise on this purchase.
