TK16 V2 compared with E35R and HT32

The E35R matches the TK16 V2's 3,100-lumen maximum output, but has a shorter 260-metre maximum beam distance. Its 120mm body and magnetic tail make it worth considering for everyday carry and positioning during tasks. Choose the TK16 V2 when tail-switch operation and greater reach matter more.

The HT32 offers a longer 640-metre maximum beam distance, 2,500-lumen maximum output, and dedicated red and green LEDs. Its 160mm length and 52mm head are larger than the TK16 V2. Consider the HT32 for distance-focused lighting and colour options; choose the TK16 V2 for a smaller-head tactical format.
