Intelligent Protection
The light will accumulate a lot of heat when it is working at Turbo mode. When the light is overheated up to 65 ℃ or above, the flashlight will automatically step down a few lumens to reduce the temperature; when the temperature is lower than 65 ℃, the output will gradually return to Turbo output level.
Low-voltage Warning
When the voltage level drops below the preset level with the light switched on, low voltage warning will be activated automatically, then the battery level indicator on the Functional switch will flash red to remind battery replacement or charging. The flashlight is programmed to step down automatically to a lower brightness level until Eco output is reached. To ensure normal use, the flashlight will not turn off until the battery level runs out or once the battery over-discharging protection activates.

I would hate to admit how many Fenix flashlights I own. I’m hooked. They are the best! My first one was a TK35 and I now have each of the updated versions. They are nothing short of amazing. I no longer even look at any other brands.

Purchased the first TK35 for work and someone liked it so much they took it. My company was kind enough to replace it for me with the upgraded unit that had a cradle for charging. The light has incredible output and works very well in large ceilings (football field size) while tracing pipes. I have four other Fenix flashlights. I’m hooked!

Overall Rating – 5 Stars! I love both of my Fenix flashlights! I first bought the TK35 about 5 years ago – I’ve had ZERO issues with it! It travels well (I use it on overseas trips for my job where the light output helps me inspect ongoing building construction) as long as I take the batteries out of it. (Baggage inspectors in an overseas location stopped me once and had me remove the batteries as I’d forgotten to remove them before packing it.) And, luckily, nobody’s tried to steal it. I bought my TK35UE about 3 years ago – again, ZERO issues with it! I also bought the Fenix 18650 rechargeable batteries (4 total to power both lights) and a 4-bay charger. I’ve had problems locating alkaline batteries over the counter in some overseas countries, plus the cost of buying them a couple times is more than the cost of the rechargeables! I haven’t had to travel with the charger yet – the batteries hold a charge for a long time. I saw the new rechargeable batteries with the micro USB port – I may invest in a couple just because I’m certain I’ll be overseas and need to recharge my batteries otherwise. I’m certain they’ll work just as well as the others I’ve bought here from Fenix. Great engineering on the products – I’m a loyal customer now!

I own 5 Fenix lights PD20,PD22 ,PD30,PD32UE and the TK35. All are fantastic lights ,I usually carry the PD20 or PD22 both are excellent edc lights , my favorite is the PD32UE! Come on 4 brightness settings and a 740 lumen burst ! You just can’t beat that for a light this small !

if you want a light that is better than all your friends, get this one! I have yet to see any one this a better one!

I have had the TK35 for quite some time now and I use and carry it with me every day. This is by far one of the best lights I have ever had. I have compared it to several surefire lights and not even they can compaire to fenix quality. Good job Fenix. Cant wait to get the TK75.

I am a commercial business inspector for a pest control company and choosing the best flashlight is critical to what I do and when I am doing extensive inspections in tunnels or large warehouses (over a million square feet in space), I only trust the best light and that’s the Fenix TK35.
For smaller scale inspections, I depend on the Fenix PD30 and its upgrade, the Fenix PD32- both awesome flashlights! If you are serious about lightning, look no more. This is the standard of brightness.
J. Beck –
This flash light rocks! I’m a home inspector and this light beats out every light I’ve used in my ten years of business and I’ve used them all. I really like the multiple options of brightness and especially the turbo when I’m in the darkest crawl spaces. Keep making the TK35 and I’ll keep purchasing!
