I Finally Bought The Fenix TK70

[ILIKEHEVI-13]

Al,

I got 4 of the Tenergy 10,000MAH batteries coming and should be here Mon.  Those are supposed to be super batteries with the higher MAH capacity which you need to run the TK70 on turbo mode.  Reports from guys on the flashlight forums with the TK70 and these batteries is that you can run it on turbo for about 1hr and 15 min before it kicks down to high mode.  I think it kicks down though due to protect the XM-L led's from getting too hot.  But the Energizer NIMH D cell batteries you can buy at wally world for like 2 for $10 are only rated at 2500MAH.  So I doubt they will be much better than alkalines.  You can use alkalines  in this light but they don't have the capacity to run the light on turbo mode for very long I believe is why they recommend the higher capacity NIMH batteries.    

Here's the link to the batteries I bought.  They are cheaper per battery if you buy 8 or 12 at a time form this seller.

I wanted to tell anyone here who is considering this light that it is a pretty good size light.  It runs on 4 D cell batteries.  The head is like 105mm in diameter.  But it is a throw demon.  And it has some very good spill as you can see in the photos.   There is a video on youtube where a guy actually shuts off a streetlight at night by activating the daylight sensor shining the TK70 beam on it.

I find it funny that your lights are too big for practical use and your turkey pellets are too small for practical use.

That's one bright light!

That is one bright light!!! Put that on a quad for emergency use. Wonder how it will work in the fog??

Well that is your opinion and we all have one it seems. 

I can assure you I have a mixed variety, and that isn't even all of the ones I have bought.  My son has quite a few as well. 

Maybe you could find one that would serve your need, but then again maybe not.

My grandmothers brother warned me of lights like this ...... he would fly over targets in the third Reich when he flew for the RAF , German 88's would soon zero in on your planes location .... dangerous missions  ...... JK

that beam has got to be a million candlepower - wow

[ILIKEHEVI-13]

Well I took some beamshots just a little while ago if you guys want to see them. 

Here's few more of the light itself.  It's 16" long with the extender tube shown in the picture and running off 4 d nimh batteries.
