The Fenix AER-05 tactical remote switch is the perfect accessory for your rail mounted flashlight. This remote switch allow you quickly select momentary onwith the pressure pad or constant on with the tactical switch. Easily attach your remote switch either by cable ties or the hook and loop backer (both included). IP68 rated dustproof and waterproof underwater to 2 meters.
This remote switch only works with the following current Fenix Flashlight Models: TK16 V2.0 and PD36 TAC (This switch does NOT fit the PD36R).
Please note that when using this pressure switch, only Turbo and Strobe can be engaged, it will not activate all modes.
I purchased the TK16 V2.0 and paired it with Fenix’s recommended AER-05 remote switch and was surprised to find that it will not cycle through the flashlight’s five brightness levels. It will only cycle between a bright setting (not sure if it’s “Turbo” or not) and the strobe feature. In the end, my new set-up is only good for a single bright setting and strobe features, thus not able to take advantage of the lower brightness settings and their longer battery life cycles. On the other hand, I initially purchased the TK26R along with the recommended AER-03 V2.0 remote switch which cycles through the TK26R’s various brightness levels and features. Sadly, the AER-03 V2.0 switch does not work with the TK16 V2.0. As a result, had I had known of the feature differences between the two systems before purchase, I would have not made the second purchase (AK16 V2.0 and AER-05). Instead, I would have moved on to a different product altogether. To be fair, Fenix products are seemingly well-made, as well as, surprisingly versatile. Until my latest purchase, I have been completely satisfied with the performance of the various products purchased from Fenix.

Wish the rise on the on and off button was much lower it impairs your ability to co-witness with sights
