The
TK40 has a thick body and tailcap to go along with it's 2.44"
head. Even so, it is well balanced in your hand.
The tailcap
switch is not a forward or reverse clickie. Power always flows to the
head. When you press the
switch it "tells" the light to
turn on. Click and release to turn the light on (or off if it's
already on). Once it's on
click and hold to go to the next
brightness level. It's that easy. To access a strobe function, double
click.
To change to a different type of strobe, change to the next
brightness level and double click. That's it.
This
is what the battery carrier looks like. It seems pretty sturdy and
holds the batteries tightly in place.
I recommend rechargeable
batteries. They work much better than alkaline and are much cheaper
in the long run.
The
TK40 comes in a decent plastic case with handles so you can store the
light and the extra goodies it
comes with, so you always know
where to find them. Very nice touch for Fenix. Some of the extras
are
a shoulder strap and extra o-rings.
The
TK40 fits nicely in the hand and is easy to operate, although you
will need to hold it near the back of
the light to reach the tail
switch easily.
