Guided by Light, Defying All Odds——UltraPirineu 100K Breakthrough Journey
In the aviation industry, reliability is considered not just a bonus feature but an absolute minimum requirement. Given that even the slightest error can have serious consequences, every tool choice has significant implications for both safety and efficiency. Vladimir Parkhomiuk has demonstrated his commitment to this principle by placing his trust in Fenix for many years.

Aviation is not an activity you would typically engage in during your daily life, such as camping or running. It is a field that carries immense responsibility for every aspect of the process. I wouldn't describe it as fun or recreational; rather, aviation is a critical discipline where mistakes can have serious consequences. So that's why I prefer to use high-end devices such as Fenix products. I usually use a floodlight, just not to blind other colleagues with the main light lens. Also, the battery capacity is good, so usually I can use one battery for 4-5 days, depending on work.
And to be honest, I could buy other cheap Chinese flashlights, almost five for the price of one Fenix flashlight, but their quality is significantly lower than that of Fenix's.

I also have another flashlight, the TK20R, which was a gift from my friend for my birthday. It has proven to be a very reliable device. I've been using it for over four years now. I encountered a problem with the switch knob, but I managed to fix it by welding the wires together, and it's still working. The last Fenix product I purchased was the Fenix HM71R nearly three years ago, and I am eager to buy another new generation of this flashlight.
