This is one of if not THE best executed flashlight reviews I've ever seen. I rarely comment on you tube but this needs mentioning. Your testing, explaining really makes it clear you hare read up on the product, not just reading specs of the box like 90% of flashlight reviewers do. But most of all your presence and connection when talking to the camera. I'v'e not heard of you before but I'd be willing to bet you spent a fair amount of time in front of a camera. Either that or you have some great talent, either way, million subscriber class content!
Hampus Lytz Thanks so much! Comments like this brighten my day!
@@BlackandWhitewithGray “Brighten” your day? I see what you did there ;)
@@BlackandWhitewithGray HOW MANY CANDELA IS THE FENIX LEP? EVEN MAT SMITH ( FOR SOME ODD REASON) NEVER TESTS IT
This is the most complete professional and detailed review on flash light I have ever seen , thank you a lot
The depth, the practicality of the footage and the balanced review and use case is excellent.
Can't believe you haven't broken 1k subs yet after over a year.
You definitely earned my sub.
Greatest light review I've ever seen.
Thank you for the information Alex. I'm glad there are people who take the time to do these types of evaluations. Take this as a compliment, you were tailored to do this and I wish you great success. I sell Fenix flashlights at my walk in store and it gave me great ideas how to present the sale of this type of flashlight. Keep up the good work, Ric.
Thank you! I wish more people around here sold Fenix in their store like you!
You've done a very thorough review. I like how you did the long range tests and showed how the light works in different situations such as illuminating targets
Thanks!
Phenomenal video. Not only did I learn a few new things, everything is well presented and the quality is on point.
You do a better job selling Fenix's lights than Fenix itself does lol.
I really hope you put out another video since it appears it's been almost a year since your last one. You've earned a rare sub from me, I'm looking forward to your next video.
An excellent review. Well considered and clear, objective comments, which is something you don’t always see! Many thanks for your views, which have been really helpful to me in making a decision!
I am really happy to see your review about flashlight, it's not only a good review but it is an official review about fenix tk30 laser
I bought one of these this week and and am impressed. For the money, you cannot get a flashlight that is this small that can throw the beam as far this one can. You can spend less and maybe throw further but those lights are huge and have giant heads and reflectors. The TK30 is the size of other tactical lights but sends a beam down the road like the giant flashlights that you simply could not carry with you every day. Pricey but a very cool flashlight to own.
Dude! You did a really good review on the tk30. Great job! Your review helped me in choosing a light. Thanks bro, Tom
Thanks! I’m glad to help!
Very well done. Alex, you’re articulate and very informative and tread a good middle ground between enthusiast and geeks such as outselves and the average Joe 6-pak flashlight consumer: Not too technical, not to dumbed down… Just right. Never heard of you two clicks ago and now I am a subscriber! keep up the good work.
Thanks so much!
This might be the best review for a flashlight Ive ever seen
One of the best reviews, I've ever heard. Kudos from the Philippines
Your no nonsense review was the one that convinced me to pull the trigger; should be here tomorrow.. nice review & good luck on reaching your sub goal my brother..
That's great to hear! Thanks for the comment!
Dude!! Well done! I think as your channel matures, and you adapt to your sub'ers, keep the same black and white content and testing them with extreme distances like you did! You'll do great! I'm subbed for sure! Buying LEP TODAY!!!
Wayne Evans Thank you for the encouragement!
A lot of great work done, and excellent perspective. Subscribed.
Competent, confident and thorough review. Thanks. Subscribed.
Kestrel thanks so much!
Awesome review! Keep up the good job that was very helpful.
As a flashlight aficionado, I am now another subscriber. Thanks for the great info.
That shining out the door & being able to see happens all the time. LED lights shine brightly on near objects on either side of the target. Even though the throw reaches the target, it is not bright enough on the target to make up detail. Excellent review.
Joseph Tucciarone Yeah, it’s something you don’t think about until you are in that situation and need it. Thanks!
I learned so much! Great video, subscribed.
Well I love my Fenix LD30. This looks pretty interesting as well ! Maybe I'll give the TK30 a try. Never had any LEP product before. The LD30 is a top tier edc flashlight for me so I'm sure the TK30 won't disappoint. I love the consistency of the hot spot with virtually no spill whatsoever! Can't wait for a miniature keychain sized LEP light !!
What a great and easy to understand review - that's a talent ! Thanks
Thank you!
A very thorough review and easy to understand! 👍🏻🔦
Very good explanation. Subbed just from one vid
Simply excellent review! Bravo! It does not get any better. Subscribed.
Very thorough review and I learned so much - thanks! Subbed !
Properly researched. Thanks for such a great effort
Boy you're serious person exactly what I like you explain everything in the detail like simple talk that people can understand very good thank you for sharing this wonderful video and all your testing the Phoenix 30 is an awesome life a little pricey but it's worth the money because it's true numbers not like these other flashlights that they offer for 100,000 looms under $29 yeah Fenix is straightforward very honest company I was looking forward to dealing with them in the future 💕💕💕💕💕
This is what a review should look like!!
Thanks for your review, love the hotel testing outdoor
Tran Thanh Duy Thanks!
OK this FlashOholic found you from NJ. You are reviewing a LEP: LASER EXCITED PHOSPHOR Flashlight except I do not recall you mentioning this even once. Have do have 50% of the video left to watch so maybe you Will prove me wrong. If not maybe I just taught you something. Either way I’m thrilled to see another Flashlight Nut on CZcams! Yes I SUB’d!
Excellent video. Great pace and awesome demonstrations.
Thank you!
Great review! Thanks man
Well spoken, I love it. 😊 I'm deciding to buy one
Awesome review bud. Keep up the good work
Great Job Alex!! Excellent Review!!
amazing review. subbed
fantastic review , thank you
Subed just bcoz you did a very great review,love it👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really cool video especially the hotel part. That is an amazing flashlight. I had no idea such a thing existed! I'm not sure what I would do with one though. Signaling to ships I suppose:)
very useful review and i learned a lot
I'm sure lots of people here appreciate the effort you put into this video. Awesome job !
very good work, polished video with a pleasing voice and good research. think about doing reviews of other lights that are from lesser known companies, r/flashlight is a good rabbit hole for help!
Thanks for the advice. Right now I just do this for fun and I only have money to spend on the flashlights I really like, and that's Fenix. But the hope is that someday I will have the means to branch out to other brands and products!
Great review. well done. 🤙
I wanted to comment on how good of a video this is great job!
Just ordered hope it lives up to its mark
Absolutely worth it I have the acebeam w30 and no light will compare for 10 years.
How's the Ace beam still working out for ya? From what I've seen...they are incredible.
Great review!
Sub'd. Great review! Keep'em coming.
Fantastic review mate, just curious how you believe it would stack up compared to the acebeam lep lights.
They have an upgraded version now, the TK30R. It has the same lumen output but throws the light beam about 350 meters further. Also has dual tailcap buttons, one for flashlight and one for strobe. Just ordered one,, having loved the TK30... had to have the new TK30R
Great video. I'm thinking of adding one of these as a secondary light to my rifle, I already have a good combo laser and flashlight, but I wanted something with a long throw and little spill for "tactical" reasons.
That thing is SO FREAKIN COOL!
Very good and detailed review. Have you compared the Fenix TK30 against the JetBeam RRT-M2S?
GREAT review very well done excellent content.
Awesome review!!
Very nice review , but I will wait the price down . You gain another subscriber, very easy to understand. Thanks
Luis Javier Oh I can understand that, but the LEP future is very bright! (Pun intended). Thanks for the sub!
I like your perspective. I recently bought a Fenix LR80R and can utilize the spill along with the throw. I can definitely see the merit of having a focused lense. Do you think the two properties will always remain exclusive?
It's hard to impress a Swede with anything at all, still, i subscribed. Exquisit. Enough said.
Ken Haha, that means a lot then!
just wondering if you have got to check out the weltool w3 pro? if so which would you prefer. Im looking to get one of these in the near future. thanks. loved the video
Hey brother great video.. i really like what you did in video to show the difference between the flashlights and the marketing jargon.
I will be uploading 3 videos on my channel this coming week, I will be linking your channel in my description. Great job man seriously. I'm not huge huge channel but I've got several thousand hopefully it can help you grow.
Stay safe, also what rifle were you firing ? I'm a gun channel so 🤷
Thanks! That rifle was a smith and Wesson M&P Sport II.
Thank you outstanding information
Excellent no-nosense review....thanks
İ was using an olight warrior x pro on my Mossberg 500 ATI but this got me, i think i will get this instead and use olight as an edc
Awesome little light - if I didn't just get an Olight Warrior X Turbo, I'd add this one to the wish list
I bought two, they are amazing, they will be retiring my surefire and fenix pd35's. For usage I think their overall best for guns but the throw is the best feature for EDC the power rarely goes out. Oh and I can find my dog(s) if they run outside in the dark. There is another comparable white laser flashlight that's much cheaper called the trustfire for only $99 thinking about buying that one as well for more guns. Overall very impressed with this tk30 it illuminates the target very clearly, no other flashlight I have, no surefire or fenix, can fully illuminate the target at let alone 40 feet this flashlight fully illuminates the same at 2500 feet it never gets weak. It really is amazing it illuminates 3937.008 feet clouds at night like an air raid spotlight with the same brightness consistently. Only downside is that it has an extremely visible beam, you will be seen from space although very fun to play with it's not good for concealment and at very close ranges 5 to 10 feet the beam is the size of a basketball so using to search a confined space in the dark is not recommended.
Mate! I literally never leave comments or likes on people's videos. But strewth, did you do a tip top job with this review or what? You haven't done any in a while, but if there are any company types out there looking for proper product presentation, they need to hire you ASAP. Well done mate!
Good video, liked and subbed
Great review. Reminds me of the Acebeam W30.
The acebeam is a monster👍
At first I was impressed with a very thorough review ....then you mounted it to a rifle👏👏👏👏❤❤
blueomega112 😂 I’m glad you liked it! I tried to cover all the bases
Snowflakes are afraid of big scary rifles.....
thats a super cool flashlight and I want one but I cant really think of a use I would have for it with that narrow of a beam.
Great vid
Felicitaciones excelente video gracias desde Bs As Argentina
Really nice video execution man. I have a question. Can this shine through a vehicle's windshield without any light coming back into the vehicle?
MaximaMan06 Good question. Honestly, the reflection off glass is pretty substantial, but it’s a more concentrated beam so it’s a little less noticeable. The amount of reflection has more to do with the quality of the glass than the beam of the flashlight though.
good channer Congratulations to the thousands
Great Review!! No “fancy” crap... just facts & info.
We just moved from OLight warrior pro turbo (model#?) for Fire Dept. SAR.
From Olight to where?
Idk, but I'm seeing comments that these can seriously damage vision. Isn't that a concern for SAR?
Forgot... THANK YOU!!
Just ordered one from eBay (dealer in Texas). If good, we will grab another 8 for all apparatus.
👍🏻
Was the eBay product a real Fenix. On the Fenix website they mentioned that eBay products are likely counterfeit.
@@highwaymen1237 it came from a Fenix dealer in Texas. I’m not sure exactly how to detect a counterfeit, but it looks and feels 100%.
I can’t recall the name of the company, but they had most of the more scarce flashlight available. The Fenix website 20% off promo code was tempting, but I needed the light right away. After all is said and done, the laser type flashlight is nice and their three bulb 9000 lm flood is great... but.. nothing compares to the Olight magnetic charging system.
One other point.. The side button on the Phoenix lights is terribly hard to locate when it’s dark.
And... The specialized battery ($99) of the very expensive 9000 lm flashlight is most definitely going to be a problem when it needs replacement.
Overall, I just bought the new OLight mini “something “ (forgot the name 😉😷🤣) or I’m just getting old...
Is a phenomenal flashlight *OTHER* then the fact it is so small physically. It is the new light with a base mounted stainless steel switch AND A rubberized side mounted switch. It has the magnetic olight charging system which I just love. And the base mounted switch is incredibly well designed.
BTW: OLight makes a great product (not all for sure) but their customer service is absolutely miserable.
I’ve spent about $3k with them this year alone... and I received a damaged package with items missing (the delivery guy pointed out the damage and asked if I still wanted to accept it. (I stupidly said “yes”. )and they still have not replaced the damaged and missing lights.
Their packages come straight from China and their customer service is apparently located there as well. They have a poor command of the English language (if you are primarily doing business in the USA and represent yourselves as a US company, you should have employees that speak the language fluently) and do not answer the phones and do not reply to emails.
IF you are lucky enough to get a functional product, then it is probably going to work for a long time. The problem is if you have a problem, there is no one to communicate with. Most of the lights I’ve purchased have been just fine, it’s just when you need help there is no one there.
The OLight store CZcams channel is as fake as fake can be. They don’t show the Chinese CCP owners and Do not show the slave workers assembling product. They have a few fake actors pretending the company is theirs..
@@PowderMill thanks for all the info. There is a dealer in Kingwood Texas that carries high-end flashlights. My reading comprehension stinks, I didn't see in your original comment that you mentioned Texas. I'm sure your light is legitimate.
@@highwaymen1237 👍🏻 That’s the place!
A1 seller... delivery was prompt and they were extremely helpful.
Very cool light BTW... but limited for sure. (It’s fantastic for pinpoint “throwing”, but intensely bright ... too bright for close-up use and to narrow of a beam for “routine” use). Excellent light though.. PLUS. IT SHINES LIKE A LIGHT SABER. 😷😀
You’re a good reviewer’. Pls review more edc stuffs
No talk about heat output. Does this flashlight get hot while using it?
you just earned a sub
Love Fenix stuff. I own 2 TK-15 U.E.'s = phenomenal product's. oNe LovE from NYC
The obstruction in the center is a mirror that directs the laser beam directly into the center of the phosphor dish.
I like how the hotel lit up the rooms in the shape of a heart. Cool shit.
thats an amazing laser light
Fénix Tk 30 or acebeam w10 gen 2 ?
The Sofern SP-70 is a good search light for around $60 however I would love to have a LEP just because there cool.
Thank you, B&Ww/G!
Great review , but is it harmful to the eyes or skin? ‘ thank you very much
Nice video.
Just ordered one😁😁😁😁😁
Great video sir.
These LEP lights are fantastic. What I find weird though is the fact that Acebeam W30 is also rated at 500 lumens, but the throw is twice as long than that of the Fenix TK30. Anyway, amazing technology that's only catching up.
Boris & Chen Good question. Measurements from company to company can vary depending on the testing methods, so maybe they just tested differently? If I had both lights I would do a side by side comparison, but my flashlight budget is not that big yet! Thanks!
Same lumens but different optics, more lens diameter in w30 is doing more colimated light.
W30 is way brighter than the Tk30....I’ve had mine for almost 1 year and it is incredible....It’s not the Lumens that give it the pure White intense light it’s the Candela Rating which is around 1 million candela.......Buy one before there all gone as they are discontinued😀
W30 is focused tighter which is brighter but a smaller hotspot. I have both these lep and the w30 decimates then tk30. I’ll probably do a review later
The W30 is a better thrower but that is to be expected because it is a much larger light.
Holy shit my man is thorough!
Great review. Will you be reviewing the brand new Fenix TK11 TAC ?
Rob Tbone Allen That one intrigues me, I might have to do that!
Black and White with Gray Cool! Any recommendations for a perfect edc that’s about PD36R size with dual tail switches?
@@robtboneallen7707 Dual tail switches? That is hard to find on a small light, but the Fenix TK26r has two tail buttons, you might want to check that.
Black and White with Gray I know! I have the TK26R and I love it. Just wish it was a little smaller in diameter like the PD36R! If they kept the smaller head it would be perfect. Little too big for edc
It seems apparent that all us LED/LEP fanatics are especially intelligent & very well spoken group. I have about 20 LEDs, mostly Fenix, top lm being the ol' 6klm RC40. My new favorite is the TK16 V2 with 3100lm. It's also my go to gift for others. Since I'm like most of us, I overdo it so I ordered the TK30 just cuz it's small. But few wks ago I received the Weltool W4, my 1st LEP, & mind is blown. 2900m, 9415ft, 1.8miles. I mean as those of us old enuf to remember the 8 D cell, bigshot of its day, plastic lantern flashlight or any other from 1965 to biggest Mags are pathetically dim jokes compared to current tech. If I'd had a 1000lm led let alone Weltool W4 LEP at 2 wk sleep away camp in San Gorgonio Mtns near Redlands, CA in '66, '67, they'd think I, light or both were from a distant galaxy. My life is so involved in lights. LEP, not an EDC, around house use unless u live countryside ranch style so for me it's a funtoy joytoy.
It reminds me of difference between looking thru binocs v observatory telescope. Binocs are worthless for outerspace. Telescopes are worthless for inner/terrestrial sight-seeing, be it birdwatching, concerts or sporting events...more or less. From these to IR illuminators around outside house for security cams, to Blackoak 3100lm mini LED pods mounted on my hood-flood on pssgr side, spot on driver's with 2 separate switches on dash, under key ignition switch, to 20klm motion sensor stadium lights in yard, some which are all plugged into remote controlled Dewenwils or Etekcity plugs on same channel so with a single click I can turn on 6 & flood the Ppty to illuminate, scare off (good luck) coyotes or humanoid intruders. So thanks to everyone of my bros & sisters who are such an enlightened group & if u want 1.8miles of throw, snag a Weltool W4 for about $280-$300. It'll make you wanna start your own search & rescue biz or become a sniper of bad guys hiding in dark waaay far away. I'm doing neither obviously. I'm just the same little kid who's obsessed, fascinated by this stuff.
Thanks for the info. Can this LEP technology damage vision, either human or wildlife?
@@reggierendert6494 from quick cursory research: a blue laser shines onto a phosphor element which then converts that laser light to good ol' regular white broad-spectrum light. There is absolutely *zero* risk of laser eye injury. There is, however, the very real risk of damaging someone the way an extremely bright source of light can. Except with a LEP flashlight, that beam of light is much more focused.
I heard the Phosphorus breaks down over time and gets weaker and weaker. Is this true ?
awesome review!
these LEP flashlights are alot more usable then LED throwers. i only owned 1 good thrower, Nitecore P30 and i was blinded by its beam. one cant see really far away while HE hold the flashlight. a low-lumens flashlight is alot better.
What is the name of the song at the beginning?
They need to put the TK30 or even better the W30 laser type in the middle of a 1500ish lumen led flood type to get flood to make these usable.
