Hey guys, new to the forum here. I did a review on another site a few weeks back on the Fenix TK12 R5 tactical light, which I'm going to mount on the AR-15 I'm putting together in December. It's a great light, plain and simple- feels solid in your hand, the tailcap switch is great, looks very high quality. It has a strobe mode, and the option of 65 lumen mode or 280 lumen mode. Here is the link to the light and some pictures, and if you have any questions at all, ask!

TK12 beside Streamlight 4AA:
TK12 beam vs Streamlight 4AA Beam (TK12 is the brighter one):
Here's a more "apples to apples" with the Fenix on the right, 65 Lumen mode. It probably looks like both lights are brighter, I guess the camera wasn't compensating so much for the brightness of the Fenix this time. The fenix is still brighter and I still like the color of the light more than my Streamlight (I've never had to change batteries in the Streamlight, though, in over a year and a half which is great).
And to show the size, here is the Fenix where it will live until it gets mounted to my AR around Christmas, with the Taurus 24/7 Pro 9mm.
