FENIX FLASHLIGHTS, ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

Good for you, but you don't turn yours on and off 60 times a day.

I did for several years. Bought 2 as back- ups, and never needed them. Never had a switch fail, which is unusual. I'm pretty well known for being harder than average on equipment.

Anyone ever find a source for the TK tail cap switches? All have lasted about 2 years. Soaking the switches in alcohol buys only about a week.

[Brandon Whitmore]

Bill,

Can't help with replacement switches, but this troubleshooting guide may help someone...

EDIT: I got curious. It looks like these guys can get you switches: http://www.fenix-store.com/parts/

Thanks Brandon. I've done all the steps on 2 TK11s, a TK12 and the TK15 and also soaked the switches in alcohol, which gives about another week.

I will contact the linked supplier to see about replacements if another source doesn't follow through. I received an email today from a fella at www.fenixlighting.com. He said he has switches and all he needs is my mailing address. No mention of cost or shipping charge.

An email to Fenix Lighting US www.fenixlighting.com resulted in a quick reply. I was only asked for my mailing address and 2 replacement switches arrived 3 days later. No warranty check, no charge and no shipping fee.

I'm ordering the TK75 for inspecting large barns, warehouses and factories.

Fenixlighting.com just earned some business by being cool enough to send you a few switches.

I've been wanting a new mountain bike light, so I picked up the BT30R through them.

They have a new member 20% off sale, which helped convince me I "needed" it.
