My Fenix came today and it's running on two alkaline cheap-o bats. It cost $46.50 It's got a 1 watt LED and emits 42 lumens. It's about the size of the mini maglite.
The design flaw is that even though it looks like it has angular sides midsection, it will roll if given a start.
My Elektrolumen's Blaster ($50) though an inch longer (?) than the Fenix L2P and about three times fatter with the 3-AA canister driving a 3-watt luxeon far outshines the Fenix L2P. And for the price it''s hard to compare apples to oranges.
I am new to LED flashlights and I know that I wouldn't want to use a Blaster Jr to examine my computer's innards because it's too damn bright.
The L2P is outstanding for less blinding light needs, so, that said, I'm glad to own one. I'll get used to which is best for each task.
You experts were in my position at some point. Have mercy!
All the best,
Andy
