Fenix Lovers! Whats Your Favorite?

[Holepuncher]

And why?

This may be premature for me since as I dont have any T series yet but a TK11 is on the way. I have a feeling it won't be my favorite simply because of the price.

I do have some E's, L's and P's. Tough choice. Narrowing it down the LD01 is adorable and impressive. It even seriously impresses non-flashaholics. But practical wise and bang for the buck, even though I'll be in the minority, I vote the Fenix E20. Cheap, well made, decent brightness, decent beam (focused) and decent run time.

i've got a PD30 and i love it. not so impressed with the E01 though.

L2D-CE because of its useful beam & tint, its ability to use AA cells, and because of it's efficiency. I'm sure I'd like the L2D Q5 even more, but I don't have one.

To me the L1D is real nice also, but just a bit too big for a single AA light.

Love my L1T V2. Tiny with a simple 2 mode UI.

PD20. Small, Bright, Good throw and spill. I wish it ran on a RCR123 though.

Ok Educate me. What is the L1D? Why is it to big? I have the L1T V2. Very nice, not big at all.

Same size as the L1T V2

My question came out wrong. I cant believe I actually typed that since I have the L2D Q5. I just did not understand why he said it was to big. Someone point me to a significantly smaller single AA light - Fenix or not.

NiteCore D10

L2P. Can't count anymore how many mods I made with this light, it's a great host

My favourite is the L2D Q5 no doubt. It's plenty of usable specs. It runs with cheap AA's, has a long runtime, well balanced modes, pure white tint, perfect beam with no Cree rings at all (OP model), decent throw and good spill. Lightweight, excellent quality and comes with a holster and lanyard... Could you get anything else on a flashlight?. I truly love it!. :thumbsup:

Maybe I would consider an extra low mode, that's all.

NiteCore D10

Nitecore D10: 89mm x 19mm or 3.5in x 0.75in (length x diameter)

Fenix L1d: 3.8 in(L) x 0.8 in(D) or 9.7cm(L) x 2.1cm(D)

Well I guess that might be a noticeable difference in size but not significant. I'll have to get a nitecore D10 and see them in person. I got to see what all this piston crap is about anyway.

I was saying that the L1D, not the L2D, was a bit big for a single AA light. Not that it's too big to carry, or too big to be useful. I like the Jetbeam C-LE v1 for either pocket carry or neck lanyard carry better because it's smaller, both in diameter and length. Measuring the diameter and height to determine the volume I get the Jetbeam being 26.70 cc and the L1D being 37.25, about a 27% increase.

Yup. I see the difference. Not a huge difference though. Seems like a nice light though. I might have to get one.

 

[Marduke]

What are you stupid Holepuncher? Well he did not actually say that.

I was trying to be helpful by finding a picture directly comparing the two. I would appreciate it if you did not purposefully misquote me.

 

[JWP_EE]

I have a L2D-CE, LD10, 2X E01, L0D Luxeon, but my favorite is my L0D-CE.
The color is perfect and it just feel so right in my hand.

I agree with all of this...other than the I use the E-20 mostly with the beam on wide angle.

Oh, and Marduke...please stop suggesting that other members are stupid :thumbsdow

 

[Marduke]

I did not misqote you.

No? You directly quoted me with words which I did not say. What do you call it?

Please correct it.
