Brandon Whitmore Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 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.

Bill Kibbel Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Bill, Can't help with replacement switches, but this troubleshooting guide may help someone... http://www.fenix-store.com/troubleshoot ... lashlight/ EDIT: I got curious.

Bill Kibbel Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 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.
