Fenix TK20R UE tactical flashlight, camouflage

Description of the Fenix TK20R UE hand-held flashlight, camouflage:

Law enforcement officers and military personnel need special lighting devices that can withstand high loads and at the same time illuminate long distances with high quality. Especially for this category of users, the Fenix brand has developed the TK20R UE flashlight - a compact model with a brightness of up to 2800 lumens when operating in Turbo mode.

The flashlight has one of the best LEDs on the market today - Luminus SFT70 with a service life exceeding 50 thousand hours. The color temperature of the beam is 6500K. Cold white light is characterized by increased range, which in this model reaches almost half a kilometer.

The Fenix TK20R has several useful options. Among them is protection against overheating. It is triggered whenever the case temperature rises to 60°C and instantly reduces the light output so that heating does not negatively affect the service life of the electronics. There is also a gradual decrease in brightness when the battery charge drops.

Operating modes

Two separate groups of modes are available for the user to choose from. The tactical group includes several basic lighting options: Turbo and a flashing strobe, which is designed to instantly disorient the enemy, and is also suitable for giving light signals. The service group includes four modes with constant lighting power from 30 lumens and above.

Tactical group

• Turbo: 2800 lumens – 53880 candelas – 465 meters – 3 hours;
• Strobe: 2800 lumens.

Service Group

• Turbo: 2800 lumens – 53880 candela – 465 meters – 3 hours;
• High: 1000 lumens – 17880 candela – 3 hours 15 minutes;
• Medium: 350 lumens – 5900 candela – 9 hours;
• Low: 30 lumens – 490 candela – 40 hours.

The specified operating time in Turbo mode takes into account the duration of the glow in lower brightness modes, to which the flashlight switches due to the activation of overheating protection.

Control features

The control system consists of a classic round button and a FlexiSensa rotary switch - a patented mechanism that provides quick access to any of the light groups. Both switches are located at the tail of the flashlight, so they are easy to press / rotate with your thumb while holding the device.

• Instantaneous activation of the flashlight: half-press the round button. Simply release the button to turn the light off again.
• Turning the constant light on/off: press the button until it clicks.
• Changing the mode group: turn the FlexiSensa switch.
• Changing the operating mode: half-press the button. Before changing the mode, make sure that the desired mode group is selected.

When the light is not in use, it can be locked to prevent the light from being activated if the control button is accidentally touched while transporting the model. To lock the light, turn the FlexiSensa switch all the way to the right (the position is marked with a closed lock symbol). To unlock and turn the light on, simply turn the switch to the left, selecting any lighting group. In this case, the light level that was working before the lock is activated.

Power source

The Fenix TK20R UE is compatible with 21700 batteries with a voltage of 3.6 V. One battery of this type is enough to power it. Access to the battery compartment is provided by unscrewing the tail cover.

The kit already includes a branded ARB-L21-5000 V2.0 battery, designed specifically to power devices with high consumption. Instead, you can use ARB-L21-5000U, ARB-L21-4000P or batteries from other manufacturers if the user is confident in their quality. It is worth considering that 18650, 16340 and CR123A batteries are not compatible with this model.

To simplify battery charging, the manufacturer has built a USB Type-C charging port into the flashlight body. You need to slightly unscrew the head of the structure to expose the port, and connect the appropriate cable to it, which can be found in the kit. The average charging time is 4 hours.

You can accurately determine the degree of charge using a single indicator. At first, it lights up red, changing to green when the amount of charge reaches the limit value.

Physical parameters

The Fenix TK20R UE case has dimensions of 153.7 x 34 x 25.4 millimeters. It is made of damage-resistant A6061-T6 aluminum with a premium anodizing coating that protects the material from scratches. Metal has a number of advantages: it does not rust, cools quickly and resists deformation in the event of a hit on a hard surface after a fall from a height of one and a half meters.

There is a rubber seal on the thread when unscrewing the tail cap. Thanks to it, liquid droplets and dust do not get inside the case. Dust and waterproofing class - IP68.

The lighting device weighing 135 grams can be attached to a belt, bag or pocket of clothing using a removable clip. The kit is also supplemented with a hand lanyard and a branded case for more convenient storage of the flashlight.

The model is compatible with many Fenix accessories that increase its functionality: with ALG-00, ALG-16 M-Lok and ALG-18 mounts, with an ALR-01 tactical ring and an AER-05 remote button. The listed accessories are purchased separately.
