Which Fenix flashlight do you have ?

PD20+ R2 and I have gifted some E01s
The PD20 is a good light and does its job but I don't carry it too much because I like my RRT-0 and Quark turbo 123 better.

I'm more of a throw person out in the country.
 
Fenix was the first non Surefire/Photon flashlight brand I'd ever really tried. This was before I discovered all you loonies on CPF. (What a relief it was to find I wasn't alone in my fondness for flashlights! Thank you all.)
First up was the LD01 twisty. I really liked the size/brightness, fit/finish/build, and of course the price! (Being used to Surefire's prices, I was pleasantly surprised.) Next up was the PD20 Q5. I have an inordinate fondness for this model. I don't like the redesigned body shape of the newer PD20. The one I have just brings to mind all my old SF fantasies of jetpacks and rocketcars! What a cool body design.
Well next came the SS LD01 and the LD05. The LD05 is another favorite of mine. The clicky switch is so tactilely perfect, the build and fit and finish so perfect (just so solid and substantial), that in spite of my appreciation for the Preon 2, I'd leave the Preon for the LD05 in a heartbeat if it ever came down to a choice.
In between I discovered HDS/Ra, 4Sevens, Nitecore, Jetbeam, Olight, Lumapower and the jewel of my growing collection, the Muyshondt Nautilus Ti. Oh and let's not forget the free Fauxtons I keep giving away!
:party:
Edit: I forgot the Fenix LD10. I'm not into AA lights. I gave the uncarried and unused LD10 away to an EDCF member who sent me a handmade hiking stick. Good trade IMHO!
I prefer the size/form factor of CR123A or AAA lights.

Just 4 for me but they are some of my faves especially the TK40. 😀

Fenix TK40
Fenix LD10+
Fenix E01
Fenix L2D


Wow - Close to my 4

TK40 - the 45 is NOT blowing any wind up my pants - Sorry 😉
PD30 Q5
LD10 - my most used light
LD01 - on the chain and getting nice character with a year's dings

The LD10 R4 looks interesting with it's new Turbo numbers, but
there's not a thing wrong with the one I have.

I gave the EasyAA and Mini 123 a shot and gave them away (green, Yuk)
Seriously thinking about selling or gifting the PD30 so I can have an all
eneloop (as in not buying any more 123 batteries) set up.

  • AA: L1, L1P, L1S, and I had and gave away an L1D CE
  • 2xAA: L2P, L2T, L2P v2.0, L2D CE, and I had and gave away an E20

LD-20 Q5
PD30 R4

Both are great lights but I really like the PD-30 with the constant body diameter and shorter length. I will buy a couple more PD-30s for my ranch vehicles.
I am new to the CPF and have been looking for a PD-30 size light that will take the 18650 for a long endurance light, sometimes the wild hog hunting goes on late into the south Texas nights.
 
P1D
LOD (sold)
LD01 SS
LD01
P3D (gave to mother)
PD20

My favorite, the LD01 SS. Not because of any type of performance issues, I just like stainless steel, and this is a beautiful solid little light.

One of my favorites is the Civicvtor. I just like the fact that it's simple and easy to use. I also have a L2Drebel100, L2D-Q5, P2D, L1T, P1, EO, EO1, P3D rebel100. They have all been great with no problems whatsoever.
 
LD10 R4 smooth reflector

LD 20 Q5 O/P reflector

E20

I prefer the o/p reflector of the LD 20 must see if I can the LD 10 R4 with the same reflector, smooth one has too many doughnuts.
The R4 puts out a lot of light though.

L0D and ...umm actually that's it. Unless there's a T in the naming convention I pretty much won't go for a Fenix because I don't do reverse clickies.
 
I have a Fenix E01 in olive green. I like that little light, I just wish it were brighter. That is not a fault with the light but rather my eyes and I just need more light than the E01 puts out. 🙂

You might want to look at the (discontinued) L0D. Still available online from various places; EliteLED.com has the Rebel version for $29.95. That's what I carry on my key chain.

I have:

L1 (going old school; I have 3 of these)
L0D (EDC on my keychain)
L1D (on my bike)
P2D-CE

Careful with those Rebel L0Ds. There might still be a few around with the defective emitters. I had to test mine several hours for several days before I knew mine was good, back when I bought it.
 
The only fenix light I have is a stainless LD01 that lives on my keychain. I've been eying the TK12 a lot lately, though. Trying to decide between it or an Eagletac T20C2 as a first 18650-powered light. Or a Jetbeam III-M. Or... too many choices.
