P2DCE Q5 Reiew with Beamshots

[rockz4532]

The Fenix P2D CE Q5 is a 1x CR123A Flashlight that has 6 output levels with a CREE XR-E Q5 LED. low is 12 lumens, then medium 55 lumens, then high 107 lumens, then 180 lumens for turbo. On low battery life is 30 hours, med is 5.5 hours, high is 2 hours, and turbo is 1 hour. This light is very well machined, no sharp edges, annodizing is flawless. The light outperforms all of my lights, in terms of brightness. it starts on low, then medium, then high, then SOS, then if you twist the bezel, it goes to turbo and strobe. This light, despite little knurling, is pretty easy to hold, it wont fall out of your hand, and it is just long enough to fit in your hand. One thing i noticed was that for turbo, you need to screw it down pretty tight, and im worried that turbo will not work in a couple months. It has full regulation, and will stay at full brightness for the length of the batterys.
