This was the most irritating thing to me about Maglights. (besides cheep switches)
But it's just the design. I guess it would have been pretty easy to mill the back end to the hex facets like the center, but then the end and center facets would never line up.

a lanyard helps but....after you used surefires with an anti-roll bezel...nothings quite the same anymore

how about a knurled body? i do not want to add anything to the flashlight to make it antiroll. After the L1D CE i won't see myself buying another Fenix light.

To me, the solution is obvious: Stop using a ladder!

Lighthound.com has virtually every kind of Laynard you could want for a light, wrist and neck.

A lanyard could be usefull one which is put round the nect would help. Either than that nothing much you could .....

problem with a lanyard is that now the flashlight has an axis to roll around, but if its near the edge of the table....the lanyards not going to prevent it from going *thud*
Would like to see a Fenix with anti-roll.infection0

well, put a bit of masking tape in the middle so it stops the roll... lol... not much you can do now besides modify it. Personally I think an anti-roll feature would be nice, but would be hard to implement without uglifying the light.

I find that putting the Fenix down, with the lanyard adjacent (next) to the body, stops rolling.
As does standing it on end !!!

If its not the L2T/S or L2D CE Put a few elastic bands around the center,
so it takes on the hexagonal shape of the light

well, because it is already so over priced(the whole fenix series),making them anti-roll
will cause the price to be SUPER inflated which makes people not what to buy them.

Pity Fenix does not have one for the AA lights.

Gerber Infinity ultra clips work perfectly (though are a little hard to install).

Stick a toothpick into the lanyard hole whenver you are on a ladder. Or thread a paperclip into the lanyard hole.
