    Considering Fenix HM50R headlamp. Info appreciated

    I'm looking into a new headlamp. I don't have a heavy use need. No mountain climbing, hiking or anything like that. What I like about the Fenix HM50R is it uses a rechargable battery but also will use CR123 batteries. Not sure of different performance with the different batteries. But I'm...

    Fenix LD01 thru LD02 evolution review

    Guess what??? I did the shopping just now I should have done earlier. :) I found the Fenix E05 has all the features I loved in the LD01. Not only that it is less expensive than the Fenix LD02. So I ordered one. Given my tendency to loose lights this size maybe I should have ordered two. :)...

    Fenix LD01 thru LD02 evolution review

    I had a Fenix LD01. Perfect EDC for me. Simple: only 3 brightness levels. Twisty head. I could turn it on and change setting without shifting the light in my hand (to use a tail button for example). Very small for a pocket. One AAA battery of which I have rechargables. Perfect light...

    In your pocket do you carry a knife much larger than your flashlight?

    I have a Spyderco Manbug that works perfectly with a single AAA size EDC light when connected together. Since my only EDC, all the time light is a Fenix LD02 the light and knife are about the same size. In fact, with them connected the light serves to a certain extent as a longer handle...

    Side/dual switches

    The switch issue has become a more important issue for me when it comes to buying or using a flashlight. My desire if for the light to be as easy and as simple to use as possible. Every time you add a strobe, SOS, etc. setting you need a more complicated switch system. You end up with one...

    2 x CR123A safe flashlight

    I don't know anything about specs or the technical stuff. I have had several flashlights in the past few years and only want what I use. I don't collect. So, I say BUY a Fenix PD32. Now there is a 2016 edition but I think I have the model before that. Here is a link (edit) . This will tell...

    Battery life, use, maintenance in flashlights (primarily)

    Hey guys. I'm asking about batteries for my lights more than the lights themselves right now. Several years ago I went through a couple of years of trying a few different flashlights in different sizes, powerful differences, size, etc. After a few single AAA lights, AA lights and CR123A lights...

    Lost my Fenix LD01. I need a replacement

    The Fenix E05 is an option I've considered. No clip though. Of course if I wasn't using a clip I wouldn't have lost my LD01. I think that's how I lost it anyway. It still may show up in one of my socks that the dryer ate and decides to cough it back up. :) I had assumed the LD01 lights were not...

    Lost my Fenix LD01. I need a replacement

    I found out about the advances in flashlights in the past several years about 4 years ago. I got several over a 2-3 year period. I wanted lights of different sizes and I now have them. Except my favorite EDC light. I lost my Fenix LD-01 a couple of weeks ago. I carried it clipped in my pocket...
