Glad to see you liking this! One of the first professional grade flashlights I bought besides a triple D-cell mag-lite and the first I ever bought that had over 1,000 lumens. 5:09 you have to mash the button down intentionally. Fenix will NOT change that because that's actually a safety feature. These lights get extremely hot on turbo so you *_must_* carry it locked out or buy the reinforced nylon or leather holster (sold separately). 9:42 memory. Leave it on turbo. Instant access to 3,000 lumens / 18,700 candela Don't fret! You can easily rotate the rotary switch with your thumb and index finger from the overhead grip. Just gotta practice it but the rotary switch is so easy to rotate. Don't let the price tag dissuade you. This is an investment and pays for itself. As long as you're not wearing jeans or other tight pants? You CAN pocket carry this with the clip without noticing it much.
Initially I started off the same way as you: not liking the 21700 battery because it's slightly too big for EDC. But with regular use and especially on duty lights that you must depend on to last throughout a run/job, I've come to appreciate just how much that extra 25-33% capacity the 21700 offers over the 18650. The biggest impact comes from well regulated lights, where mAh max capacity really showcase how the 21700 shines over the 18650.
I take your point. It makes total sense what you say. For me, I still prefer the smaller size. But if I am doing something that will take a long time, I will need to bring a spare battery along for sure. Thanks for your comment! I like your input a lot
I personally enjoy my tac lights to not be deep carry. I save a lot of time finding a grip on the light (done a lot of tests since I’m a competitive shooter and like that draw practice lol). Obviously I understand its all opinion and majority like the deep carry. Just wanted to throw that out there as another perspective for some!
Mam that sounds so much better....Feeeenix. Top review buddy, very tempting. I'm not a huge fan of clips on tac lights purely for the fact that I rarely wear gloves and if I'm forced to use the light in a striking situation I don't want my hand getting ripped apart. I know you're not a lanyard fan but personally on a tac light I'd rather the extra security of not worrying I'll drop what might be my first point of defense (for blinding or striking). Big love from Perth
When the hotspot of a light mixes well and evenly with the spill of the light. So instead of having a distinct hotspot and spill around it, a mixed beam will give you an even blend of the two. Makes for a nicer spectrum of light in my iopinion

Great video as always. One of my favorite Fenix lights. 🔦❤️
Cheers brother!
Love that tail switch for lockout and the different modes!

The PD36 TAC is a great light. I love the mechanic switch

Nice one mate! Love the input and alternative ways of thinking. Thanks for the comment
I like this tail switch very much. Fast to push and safe in the pocket.
You are right mate, great switch. Fenix thought this one through well
Video made me decide to get one :)
Hell ya!! Another bad ass Fenix👍👍
The tail switch is made of aluminium, not plastic.
Thanks
incorrect the button on the back is made out of plastic and the screw cap is made out of aluminum. Literally says it on the box.
I REALLY like this light,just not sure I want another SST70 already got a couple...but.🤔
Haha, is there really every enough?
@@flashlightcrazy hah, that's what my "but" refers to 😁
Button is metal on the tk22
What's a mixed beam?

how does it compare with the nitecore srt7i?
Or nitecore p23i
