    The Red Dot Award was organized by Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in 1955, and has become one of the world’s largest design competitions. After more than 60 years of growth and expansion, it is now well developed as an international design award establishment. As one of the most influential, it is also commonly referred to as the “Oscar of Design”. It is well known that the assessment standard for awards is extremely strict. The jury of around 40 independent designers, design professors and specialist journalists test, discuss and assess each individual product, before awarding the “Honorable Mention” for a well-conceived detail solution, the “Red Dot Award” for high design quality or the “Red Dot: Best of the Best Award” for ground-breaking design.

    It is understood that for selection of the Red Dot Award, they need to evaluate the innovation level, function, ecological impact, ergonomics, and durability. What were the specifications that made the Fenix TK72R achieve the design award?

    Ok, I can't afford a $500+ flashlight. I don't need a flashlight for work, and I already have Fenix's most excellent PD35 for personal use.
