See the Fenix TK20R V2.0 in Action
In this video, I review the Fenix TK20 V2.0 (3000 Lumens, 475m Range). This is one of my favorite tactical flashlights from Fenix that does it all. Fenix’s reliability and build quality are amazing – something that’s difficult to explain until you look at one close-up. Any questions? Let me know in the comments. Affiliate links are below.

Fenix TK20R V2.0: Review
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• Fenix continue to impress me with their pragmatism, and unmatched quality control in their lights. At first glance, some would consider the TK20R 2.0 a rather boring design, similar to a lot of black tactical lights out there. But when you look closer, the subtle and fine detailing, quality machining, and anodization really stand out. Fenix offers a limited lifetime warranty on their lights which is almost unheard of in this industry. This is the light you could rely on in an emergency. The SFT70 paired with the larger reflector produces a thrower beam for those who need the extra power.
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel, and reflector
• Smooth, high-quality anodizing. Slightly glossy. Well machined, with no imperfections. I like the detailing on the tailcap, head. The knurling is simple and provides a solid grip.
• SFT70 paired with a smooth reflector. Perfectly centered! The bezel/reflector is a bit larger than the PD36R Pro, which looks sleeker but with less throw. I like that the bezel has no sharp edges and is relatively conservative though as it doesn’t draw attention but still remains functional if you need to break a window.
• Charging port accessed by unscrewing the bottom part of the head.
UI – modes
• Half-press for momentary, remembers the last mode used. Full press to turn it on, then the function switch switches between modes. When the light is off, the function switch = one-step strobe
Performance – total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality
• CCT, CRI, ceiling bounce test
• Beam is very throwy but has lots of flood due to the sheer power of the SFT70. I noticed the hotspot has a darker region in the center when viewed closer up on a white wall. Not noticeable from a long distance. The turbo mode fades in and out slightly when you activate the button – this is a very nice touch.

| Mode | Candela @5m | Throw (metres) | CRI (Ra) | CCT (K) |
| Eco | 825 | 57 | 66 | 5545 |
| Low | 3575 | 120 | 66 | 5772 |
| Med | 8150 | 181 | 66 | 5897 |
| High | 22125 | 297 | 67 | 6075 |
| Turbo | 65025 | 510 | 69 | 6506 |
Considerations
• Does not include tactical ring
• Slight dark spot as I mentioned but not noticeable when outdoors.
• Bulky in your pocket. It does come with a holster and it’s not really designed as an EDC.
Verdict
• Another home run for Fenix – the TK20R Pro is for those who want better long-distance performance than the PD series but also don’t mind the extra head size. This is a serious tactical flashlight with premium features and high reliability. What more could you want?
