I'm currently using the Fenix TK 15 w/337 lumens, but looking at buying the TK 21 w/468 lumens. Anyone using the TK 21?

I use Fenix TK-12. It's plenty bright enough for what we do. I've used it for everything including boarded-up barns and an historic theatre with no windows and no electricity.

Fenix PD31 (uses single 18650 battery). After years of using Streamlight xenon polystingers, I finally thought I would give one of these LED gizmos a shot last year. Ooh boy, what a difference! I just LOVE my Fenix!!! Amazing light from something so small.
(I can't speak for any other models as this is the only one I've tried, and would buy again)

Fenix is great. So is Olight.
Personally, I think it's more important to settle on a battery standard. I went 18650.
I gave the nod to Olight for a single battery, the Fenix TK35 for a double battery. The TK35 is nuts; 820 lumens. It lights up crawlspaces like daytime.
They're all nearly the same light w/a few minor details, except for switches. They all have bad runs of switches occasionally.
The Olight has a nice stainless steel bezel for gouging flesh from realtors.
