This website is about the super bright LED flashlight I
bought.
This thing is so impressive for what it is, itis so bright it will throw the light beam over 300meters (984.25feet). This is what I have
been missing all my camping life. Everyone who see's this whants to get one straight away. So bright
that it's just like having the high beam of your car in your hands. In comparison this led flashlight totally and
utterly blows a mag light torch away. Which LED torch am I talking about?
I'm talking about a flashlight that can:
Throw light over 300meters
Has a run time of 150hrs
Is waterproof to IPX-8 Standards
And comes with a Type III hard-anodized anti-abrasive
finish
My backyard is about 25meters wide. Standing on my verandah and shining the torch
in the yard, the spill from this baby will reach fence to fence and light up so much area that it is like
daylight.
The Fenix TK40 has eight modes of operation. Four modes are for the primary
function with the other modes for secondary functions.
Of the four power modes these are the output ratings in lumens.
Low - 13 Lumens
Medium - 93 Lumens
High - 277 Lumens
TURBO - 630 Lumens
As a rough comparision, my mag light torch with the three D cell batteries
compares to about the Medium setting on the Fenix torch. This is with the maglight beam adjusted so that it is the
same size and the TK40.
Now like I said before on each mode there is a secondary function, and they
are:
Low - Slow flash
Medium - SOS flash
High - Fast flash
TURBO - Strobe
It is obvious that having the SOS function would be a life saver. It beats turning
it on on off by hand all the time. Any of these flashing functions would be very usefull in the right situation.
For example the slow flash would be excelent for a night navigational course as a marker. Or the strobe would be
good to surprise people and disorientate them in a security/police office type roll.
This thingwill run for
150hrs on the low setting. That is like 6 days straight run
time. How bright is the low setting? Well it's bright enough if you are in a tent at night. It's heaps bright if
you wake up in the middle of the night and your eyes have been shut. It sure lights up my house on low in the
middle of the night.
When it's turned onto TURBO mode it's asuper bright led flashlight that you could use
as a spotlight for hunting and shooting. Seriously! And it will run for 2hrs on turbo.
In pitch black darkness I can put this torch on my coffee table pointing up at the
roof, turn it on turbo mode and the room is lit up like with a light on.
You could sit and read a paper, have a conversation just like you would with
lights on. It truely is one of the best flashlights I have even used and owned. I still can not get over how bright
this baby is. This is one high powered led flashlight.
