Fenix TK11R Handheld Flashlight — Compact Tactical Assistant
The Fenix TK11R handheld flashlight is designed for tactical use and emergency responders: it features a Luminus SFT40 (cool white) LED, which produces a narrow and long-range beam thanks to its smooth reflector. The body is made of A6061-T6 anodized aluminum, ensuring high strength and impact resistance from drops up to 1 meter, while dust and moisture protection meets the IP68 standard. Brand: Fenix. Product category: Camping & Tourism > Camping > Camping Flashlights.
Light Source and Performance
The stated LED lifespan is 50,000 hours (over 5.5 years of active use with intensive operation). Thanks to the proprietary APF (Advanced Pulse-Frequency) system, maximum brightness reaches 1600 lumens, and illumination distance is up to 420 meters.
Operating Modes
The TK11R interface includes only the necessary modes for quick operation; a separate strobe mode is implemented for disorientation or signaling. Mode parameters:
- High: 1600 lm – 45,000 cd – 420 meters – 1 hr 50 min;
- Medium: 350 lm – 10,300 cd – 200 meters – 4 hr 10 min;
- Low: 30 lm – 830 cd – 60 meters – 25 hr 30 min;
- Strobe: 1600 lm.
The runtime in High mode is indicated considering the intelligent overheat protection system: during prolonged operation, the flashlight automatically reduces power by sequentially transitioning to less intense levels, which extends operation and protects the electronics. There is a mode memory circuit (not saved for strobe) that remembers the last active mode.
Controls
The Fenix TK11R features classic tactical control with two tail switches. The buttons differ in shape and surface for convenient operation in the dark: a round tactical button with texture provides momentary activation with a half-press and constant light when pressed all the way; a smooth oval functional switch changes modes with a single press, and to activate the strobe, it needs to be held. To prevent accidental activation during transport, the manufacturer recommends removing the battery from the compartment.
Power Source and Indication
The recommended power source is one 18650 Li-ion battery (the proprietary Fenix ARB-L18 is recommended). The description mentions a capacity of 3600 mAh for ARB-L18; the package contents section specifies a proprietary battery with a capacity of 3400 mAh (both values are present in the original data). The use of a pair of disposable CR123A batteries (lithium, 3.0 V) is also permitted. The battery can be charged via the USB Type-C port, located in the head of the flashlight and protected by a cover.
Upon each activation, the battery level indicator lights up for 3 seconds, showing the approximate charge:
- Green (constant): 100% - 85%;
- Green (flashing): 85% - 50%;
- Red (constant): 50% - 25%;
- Red (flashing): 25% - 1%.
The flashlight's operating voltage: 3.0–8.4 V. If the voltage drops, the system automatically reduces brightness to the minimum and provides a light indication (red flashing) as a reminder to recharge or replace the power source.
Design and Dimensions
The Fenix TK11R body is made of A6061-T6 anodized aluminum, features cooling fins in the head for heat dissipation, and knurling for a secure grip. The design includes an O-ring with a spare ring in the kit, ensuring IP68 class sealing and protection. Dimensions: 145.5 x 34 x 23.5 mm. Weight without power source: 117.5 g.
