PowerMatt: there's a thread here in the LED forum about batteries in the L1P. 2500mAH Energizer NiMHs yield a little over two hours before significant dimming.

Some CPFers have reported issues with the switch. I haven't had any significant issues, but sometimes the head assembly unscrews a bit when I pocket carry the Fenix. I believe the next run is going to have the head assemblies loctited to the body. I think the number of reported switch problems is pretty low, considering there were hundreds sold in the recent groupbuy.
If you're worried about durability, there's a thread about a Fenix surviving a 17 story drop down an elevator shaft.

I love my Arc LSs, but the darn Fenixes put out a beam that's every bit as good, for 1/3 of what I paid for the Arcs just 2 or 3 years ago.
