![]() The same carrier was used to charge the batteries. Most (if not all) of them included a separate battery carrier with space for 2*18650 batteries. I expect the latter.Įarlier versions of this flashlight included several different LEDs and several ways of inserting the batteries. I’m not sure if it was there, or if the clamp damaged it. The anodization is done pretty well, but mine had 1 little spot after attaching it to a large photography clamp. The TK35UE v2.0 is an aluminum flashlight with black anodization. It could feel a little bit slippery, although the pocket clip provides some extra grip. It doesn’t have any knurling so keep that in mind before ordering. ![]() That makes the position of your hand feel naturally relaxed. This is because of the 2 18650 sitting next to each other, in parallel. The main stitch is a forward clicky, and it won’t do anything else than switching between On and Off.īecause of the way it is built, the body of the flashlight fits actually very nicely in my hand. The main switch is used for power, and the smaller, secondary switch, is used for mode changing and instant strobe (with long-press). There’s only 2 switches (actually 3) at the rear and none on the side, so it’s best to carry it overhand with your thumb on the main switch. I know it looks a little odd-shaped, but the benefit of having 2 batteries parallel is the extended capacity and runtime. There aren’t that many dual-cell tactical lights that run on 2*18650 batteries in parallel but the Fenix TK35 series is well known for this. There’s no batteries, nor a charger included. The TK35UE v2 arrived in a typical Fenix-style package with a couple of accessories. The TK35UE v2.0 is a tactical flashlight with 2 switches in the rear and no side switch. The biggest differences between the LR35R and this TK35UE v2 are the use of 2*21700 vs 2*18650 and the side switch on the LR35R. They got rid of the battery carrier, changed the UI, and it got a better holster.īut there’s been another Fenix light we reviewed earlier, that looks rather similar, and is called the Fenix LR35R. And besides this increase in output, a few more changes have been made. It’s claiming to have an output of a maximum of 5000 lumens with 3 LEDs. It started out as an 820-lumen tactical flashlight with a single CREE XML LED, and this latest version has an output 6 times higher. Well, first of all, there have been multiple versions in between, so it’s not like a 10-year old flashlight got a new upgrade. The first TK35 was released in 2011, exactly 10 years ago. The Fenix TK35UE v2 stands in a long tradition. You’re saying this looks familiar? Well, I guess you’re right.
