Comments about Fenix TK15 LED Flashlight:
Fabulous flashlight! I love the multiple / adjustable beam. I use the lowest setting while walking at night but realize that the high beam is available if needed for self-defense. Light weight and easy to carry. This one is a winner!

Comments about Fenix TK15 LED Flashlight:
I've already got a high end flashlight, so whether I really needed another one was questionable. But since there was room to use up on my dividend and I like just about anything that's been machined out of a solid chunk of metal, I bought it anyway. I wondered how much use it would really get, but after the first time, the rest of my flashlights were put away. This thing is an absolute pleasure to use.
I like that it is designed to not roll when you set it down. That's a big plus to me -- I don't know why all flashlights aren't designed that way.
I really like the size and the weight. My other light is a bit longer because it has three CR123 batteries, while the Fenix uses two. To me, the shorter length (something I hadn't given much thought to) does make it nicer to use.
I'll probably never need the crenellated bezel, but it's better to have a tool when you don't need it, than to not have it if you do.
Usually I won't need the 337 lumens level, but found that it makes things easier to see in dark engine compartment crevices during daylight hours. A good flashlight works well for this at night, but during the day is of little use without lots of lumens -- the more the better. Hard to explain, but if you ever use it this way, you will be quite happy. Of course at night if you really want to see far, the 337 lumens is amazing also.
I wondered if I would need a head that adjusts from spot to flood, but for my purposes the 337 setting pretty much takes care of that. More of the area outside of the center also gets brighter.
The brightness levels button is smooth and sort of difficult to locate in the dark, but per nutnfancy's idea, I turned the pocket clip into position so that it is pointing at the button. The clip has a pretty tight fit and hasn't moved. Now the button is easy to find by feel.
The aesthetics are very good (if it matters to you on a flashlight) and so are the ergonomics. It fits well in the hand and is very easy to grip. The quality looks excellent. I've given it a fair amount of use for about three months now and have had no problems. I can't really imagine what another flashlight could have over this one.

Light up the night sky with this! The mid setting works great for anything! The high might be excessive unless your trying to get the attention of a search and rescue.

I bought one of these lights to mount on my Mossberg 500 as a tatical light. It's fantastic, but I needed another for carrying.....so I bought the second one. I let a friend borrow it to use in a "Re-claim The Neighborhood" block watch. The drug dealers and low lifes didn't like the 337 Lumins, so far two other people bought them.

I have only had my TK15 for a few days now and I must say I take every single chance I get to use it. It is by far the brightest most powerful flashlight I have ever owned. I was hesitant to drop [$] on a flashlight but man I'm glad I did. This light does everything you need it to do and then some. If you buy this light you will not in any way be disappointed... except for when you buy batteries... they can be kind of spendy.

Comments about Fenix TK15 LED Flashlight:
I love the features of this flashlight. It has amazing utility and has served be well for various uses, including kayaking, photography and hiking. This flashlight is especially useful for special lighting effects while photographing foregrounds during low light conditions. The strobe-light feature is another key reason why I purchased it. I carry it with me wherever I go or paddle.
But I worry somewhat about its reliability. After 3 weeks of purchase, one night it didn't work. It had new batteries and had seen relatively little use, so I returned it to REI in-store. I asked for an exchange, but they only had the demo, so I agreed to take it. It had no batteries, so I asked them to use mine, which I bought separately (btw. batteries are sold separately). I also asked to 'test' it. And even the demo didn't work. New batteries from inside the case were used, but even these didn't power it up. So 2 TK15s "Out-Of-Order"! ?? They gave a refund; but I bought the last one at another REI (~25 minutes away.)
As I said, I love this light and hope that this is not a general defect in the LED bulbs. But there's always that uneasy feeling that it may not power up, when I need it most,... hence the 4 stars.

This is a great light! I finally decided to switch to the "dark side" and buy CR123A batteries and I've been missing out!
I own multiple Fenix lights like the LD10, LD20, and now the TK15 and TK35.
The LD10 and LD20 have their own purposes, but the TK15 is on an entirely different level in terms of brightness.
the TK15 user interface is extremely easy to use. I would definitely recommend this light!

Comments about Fenix TK15 LED Flashlight:
This is a great little tactical flashlight, with best in class brightness. Strong powerful beam still floods better than the less bright but much more expensive Surefire lights. Not too big or bulky, decent low weight (not ultralight) and four beam settings plus strobe make it extremely versatile for overnight backpacking. Seems rugged enough, though I'm not about to drop it to find out. However I have tested the waterproofing several times and it submerges to 2 meters with no problem. My only wish is that REI stocked some of the accessories for it like the camping lampshade and diffuser cone.
