Fenix TK20R USB Rechargeable Flashlight

Great product and fast trouble free shipping.

This flashlight is amazing!!! I run an outfitting service and we end at dark a lot. I used to have a surefire in the truck all of the time and came across this on one of our promo sites. I heard great things about Fenix lights so I decided to give it a try. One thing I was looking to reduce was the amount of batteries I was going through to have the amount of light output this light is capable of producing. It does not disappoint!! It has been about a year now and I am finally replacing the battery. I use it daily. It does drop in the usage time obviously over time but it is lasting the 1-3 hours I use it at night. The fact that I could use it and charge it about once maybe two times a week (mainly when we are busy during the summer and work into the night) is amazing. Now it is just to the point where I have to do it every 2-3 nights just to make sure it lasts as long as I need it. This isn’t a bad thing but the battery has run its light and I need it to last in the cold winter. That is awesome for 1 battery a year! I have taken it on camping trips and dropped it in the snow plenty of times. Still works amazing!! Definitely a must have if you are looking for a small rechargeable light. It does say that you can put non-rechargeable batteries in there if you need to but I have not had to do that yet. On the camping trips, I brought some as spares just in case I couldn’t charge it but I never had to put them in. Great Light!!! Well done!!

Works fine. No complaints.

Love this product. Size weight and length of battery are all optimal. Rechargeable battery with USB adapter is ideal.

Very powerful light, very great buy.

Amazing lite! I noticed that J. Alain Smith uses one. Have you ever thought of sponsoring his show rugged expedition??!!
Great show and great product!

Nice tactical light. The back button is easy to find and press. The back button and handle is good for using with pistol. The light beam is wide and the center beam is a perfect circle. Its super bright on high! Nice knurled head on it too in case you need it for a weapon. My favorite overall of 5 different fenix lights I own. The only improvement is making the side button easier to locate by feel. Charging it is simple and convenient!

This is the absolute perfect tactical light for my needs. Previously had a budget tactical light, which has been good so far, but no where near the durability and function of the Fenix. Love the fact that it operates on the 18650 battery, and even has an external charging port and the switch charging status light lets you know if it needs a charge before going into the field, no guessing. The size is a perfect fit for gripability and carry. Crown design allows it to be stood up and still generate useable light on a table. That and the base hex nut makes this a no roll light.

everything i wanted

I bought two of these. One for my wife and one for me. We keep them in our cars when we drive at night. We use them when we walk our dog at night. The best feature is that from any of the four power settings (Low, Mid, High, Turbo), one momentary push of the mode button activates the strobe at Turbo power. The ease of quicky activating the strobe was essential for me. The TK20R flashlight mets this requirement very well.

A little overpriced; otherwise an excellent product.

This light is great wish u could focus or flood the light i have multiple fenix lights and love them all costomer service is great

Love the rechargeable, and it’s very bright and compact.

Great!

Worth every penny!

I think this might be the perfect all-around flashlight. Not too big and heavy to carry and use almost anywhere, but large enough and sturdy enough to have some serious brightness horsepower and ruggedness.

The TK20R is the best compact flashlight I have ever owned. Stands up to anything I throw at it. Keep up the good work Fenix

I’ve had my light for about 6 months and it has worked great. Only issue is now when using my rechargeable battery the indicator light will turn to orange and my tail switch and side switch traded functions. This is a problem because the side switch gets depressed in my pocket and the light runs dead quickly. Please help. I put regular batteries in place of my 2900 battery and it works fine. Do I need a new battery? Or did a function get messed up?

This is a positive and negative review for this light. I bought it after considerable discussion with a helpful rep from Fenix directly. My concern was that, as I was going to use it for sailing, that the seal that covered the USB port in the back of the unit was indeed watertight. I am a blue water sailor, and hard use and resistance to salt water is imperative. I was assured that it was indeed fit my criteria. Also, I was concerned that the original 950 lumens (50 lower than the PD35) would be noticeable. I was assured that in “real life” it would not be evident. I notice that the new ads for this unit say that it is 1000 lumens rated. Not sure whether there was a change in the bulb or design, but at least the “original” unit certainly seems “daylight” to me. All positives! Now for the negative. I sailed from Hawaii to Anacortes recently, and had some blowy days and nights sailing. My light failed after a day or so – it would not go on in any mode – I did find out that by unscrewing the base section, it would go on in one mode, but that opened it up to additional damage. What caused the failure? The rubber flap that seals the USB port came out and salt water spray got in – and as those that deal with salt water know, salt water and electronics do not agree. The seal is just NOT a good design. Pulling it out and pushing it in the storm pockets in my foul weather gear at night must have been the action/s that caused the failure. Astonishing bad design, in fact. It slightly protrudes over the edge of the barrel and so can get pushed out of its sealed position easily. I believe that is what happened in my case. Secondly, the base of the rubber piece that goes into the aluminum base is not robust. It has one rib in the rubber – the rubber insert part should have at least three so that the ribs can be forced down into the cavity and really have to be pulled to get it out. So: 1) tab used to pull open rubber protective flap bad design; 2) and ribs on seal itself inadequate.
When I saw the light, I thought that this might be a problem, but hoped for the best – I had no time to return it, so took a chance. Fortunately I had a dive light on the boat and so used that.
While I was out of warranty, the gentleman who answered the call did replace the unit with a TK15 unit that hopefully will do a better job. Not quite what I wanted, but OK. Good for customer service to step up though.
So… I’m not sure if Fenix will publish this review, as it is negative and points out a failure with their design (for rugged and/or water use). We will see.

Love my TK20R. It is my first tactical light and so far I’ve had it for six months and I have exactly 0 complaints.
I carry it in the included nylon holster on the side of my backpack and I use it almost everyday.
Great battery life and design.
Very durable constuction.
Great ergonomics.

Got this to replace my TK22 after it was lost. I love this light every bit as much. Despite the smaller head diameter I was still very impressed with the beam width. Walking down the street or in a hallway, it provides an amazing periphery to see. The central beam has even better throw than my TK22, I can see clearly much further. Both are amazing flashlights but I really like the USB charging, though rarely used since I have a battery charger for 18650’s but in a pinch or traveling it’s a huge help.

After buying my first Fenix light, I’ve been so impressed I’ve continued to come back. My TK20 has shown to be no different.
