What owners report

Fenix TK22 V2.0/5 sources reviewed

A 21700 tactical light at 1,600 lumens with 406 m of throw, IP68 rated, with intelligent mode memory, a low-voltage indicator and overheat protection. The aluminium body handles heat well enough to hold brightness, and reviewers describe the build as very good — the tail threads arrive lightly lubricated and run smoothly. Medium-sized and light for the class.

Three things to plan for. It ships without a battery or charger, and there's no onboard USB charging at all, so you need a dedicated 21700 charger. It gets warm to the touch at the highest setting. And the interface frustrates tactical users specifically: you can't select turbo or moonlight directly from off, and there's no momentary turbo — both of which are standard expectations on a duty light.

Questions people ask

Does it charge over USB?: No — there's no onboard charging at all, and no battery or charger in the box. Budget for a 21700 and a dedicated charger on top of the light.
Why do tactical users complain about the interface?: Because you can't reach turbo or moonlight straight from off, and there's no momentary turbo. On a duty light those are basic expectations — you shouldn't have to cycle to get maximum output.
How far does it actually throw?: 406 m by the ANSI measure, which is genuinely good for 1,600 lumens — Fenix's reflector work concentrates the output well.
TK22 V2.0 or TK16 V2.0?: The TK16 puts out nearly twice the lumens and has instant activation, but is heavier and hotter. The TK22 is lighter and throws further per lumen.
