Are Fenix flashlights reliable? I am a little worried with it being from China.
For the record, I ordered a Fenix LD10.

Well now, that is interesting. Not so long ago, you were singing a completely different tune:Yes, they are reliable...
Never had any problems with my Fenixes.
Well I was unimpressed with my L2D Q5 too, and returned it. Good UI? Come on, help me. The L2D has one of the worst UIs I've seen. It doesn't even memorize the last setting, so when you turn it on in the middle of the night you never know if it will turn on high or low or SOS. What a crap.
… the UI is terrible... The one I had didn't turn on in low mode with the bezel loosened, it would turn on in the next level, always. So if I turned it off in medium, when i turned it on again it would be on high.
… Fenix should have better QC. I have had 4 of them and they all are different from the other, in throw, spill, color, brightness AND finish. Not good enough for the amount of fame it has around here.
… I have had a L2D and have even reviewed it with REAL beamshots (not white wall pics). And mine had a terrible memory effect, as stated earlier.
I'm here just sharing my experience with a L2D I bought AND returned to the store because it was full of defects.
This L2D was the most deffective unit I've ever seen. First it wasn't bright enough (the L2T is way brighter), second it had a terrible loud hissing.
... and now, after all that bluster and bashing, you blithely admit you never actually had any problems with any of your Fenixes?And then, I didn't know at the time the "memory" effect was actually a defect, because the manual doesn't say it should turn on low every time, so I judged this was a feature.
If it must turn on low, then add this defect to the list.
Such a tease...
Well, my Fenixes are still working ok. That's one particular thread that impressed me, but I think the OP has removed the images from his source. The thread speaks of the testing and abuse he did with a P3D. Here's the post.
Just order from Fenix-Store and be rest assured with the lifetime guarantee and unparalleled customer service.
So... apart from that, how would you rate your check-in experience on that occasion? LOL2. Smashed against metal x-ray machines (those you find at an airport)
3. Threw it on the floor with considerable force
