They're "ok". SolarForce is made in HK. Fenix is made in China. They all use the same CREE R2 bulbs, but other than that...you get what you pay for. The ones in the pics costed $25 FREE shipping and took about 8 days. (If you wanna buy mine, I'll sell it to you for $25)

The Fenix ones are just a little more expensive, can be found locally, or online within 2-3days, and are much better flashlights. I like the Fenix for the fact that it has different modes. Survival, in-between brightness, super-blinding bright, and strobe.

My favorite lites are the Fenix TK11r2 ($87) and the Fenix PD30 ($65).

Hard to believe, but it was 1/2 the price.

Where'd you get the TK10? How do you like it?

Those are nice! Almost looks like the SureFire that George has. But I still like the strobe feature on the SolarForce and Fenix.
