10 months (or so) w/ LOD on keys

[nmanchin]

I love this little light (wish the tint was more white). i use it every day and it's holding up pretty well. i'm not easy on keys. this thing has probably been dropped a dozen time. but it still looks good. can't say the same for the g/f's black LOP.

that's all, just wanted to post a pic.

Looks very nice. I love my olive L0D. I have too many black lights and like the natural or olive color more.

That light has held up nicely, you must treat your keyring well. I have a Fenix P1D-CE (black) on my keyring and the anodising is wearing on the edges... but it has a nice used look!

I also have an olive L0D-CE and love it - I always carry it clipped to my shirt pocket at work and it comes in handy countless times, usually every working day.

i'm actually pretty hard on my keys. i think the olive is a much more substantial coating.

i have a black L0D or so on my keychain for 14 month now, and it looks like sh*t. I dont know what i'm doing wrong.

Is that an olive or natural colored L0D? Or is it both?
Black still seems to wear with time even HAI III.

You ain't doing anything wrong... it'll be all the more amazing to non-flashaholics when you show them this beat up little hunk of aluminum then switch it on and blind them

I've had my red LOD for a month now, some of the paint has come off the edges.

It's a natural.



I have two blacks, a red and a natural and the natural LOD has held up the best by far. The black ones chipped very easily.

I have a natural P1, PD Q5, and P3D Q5.... all on "pocket grinder" duty..

They all look in near pristine condition compared to the black HAIII lights I have that get much less use.

I think maybe black shows dings more as the Al is much lighter. The OD/olive/whatever is a closer match to the Al base metal.

Natural seems to hold up much better then black HA. Either that or it's really good at hiding scars and dings.

Black LOD on my keychain for 2 months, beat to crap, still freaks folks out with a 10440.

 

[Jedi Knife]

Why why why doesn't Fenix use the natural? My LOD CE looks like total crap too. I hate it for the looks but love it for the light. Wish I didn't have to hate it but it looks terrible.

The "natural" anodizing was outsourced. I believe they moved all current anodizing into their own shop in-house.
