Once I had completed the review of the light and captured the beamshots, it was time to replace the emitters for what we prefer for Search and Rescue type activity. So I decided to place a T5 emitter in the main head, a T4 in the 60 degree flood head, and a T3 in the 130 degree flood head. What follows are some pictures of what I found when I disassembled the heads of the light.

We will get some beamshots of the new emitters up beside the original ones very soon.

Fenix TK76 Teardown:

In the main head you have a 26mm copper MCPCB. Although there appears to be mount points for the base, it was not screwed down in ours.

On the other side of the pill below the battery contact board, this is what you see:

Behind the 60 degree flood lens, you have an XM-L2 U2 emitter on a 16mm copper MCPCB:

Which in our case got replaced with a T4 XM-L2 on a copper Noctigon base:

On the other side is the 130 degree flood optic with the specified XM-L2 T6 emitter. Hang on a minute, what's that green color from behind the optic?

Looks like someone on the assembly line dipped their tweezers into the wrong bin and got an XM-L perhaps?


Not to worry, we were replacing it with a T3 1A6 instead:

Finally the TK76 reassembled with new T5, T4 and T3 emitters
