Overview

The Fenix TK16 V2.0 is the value spoiler of the tactical light class. At $99.95 retail, it delivers 3,100 lumens with a 380-meter throw on a single 21700 cell, USB-C charging is built into the battery itself. Build is 6061-T6 aluminum with HAIII hard anodizing, IP68 rated for dust and water.

The dual tail switch, a primary click for on/off and an auxiliary for instant strobe, is a legitimate tactical interface, not an afterthought. Six modes cover output from eco to turbo. Weight is a surprising 4 oz (body only), light enough to carry but sturdy enough to stand up to the patrol-light abuse it will see.

Fenix's durability record is good, their warranty is honest, and the light is widely available. For buyers who want tactical interface behavior without spending $230 on a SureFire, this is the move.

  • 3,100-lumen turbo, 380-meter beam
  • Luminus SST70 LED, 50,000-hour lifespan
