Hey guys,
I'm heard a bunch of great stuff about fenix's lights, and I'm set on getting either a P2D-CE or L1D-CE. I'm planning on using it as an edc, nothing critical, but you never know when a little bit (or a lot) or light is handy.
I want you guys to help me decide. Here's my current train of thought:
I'm leaning towards the P2D right now because its turbo mode is rated at 135 lumens, whereas the L1D is only 80 lumens. So on turbo its brighter, but otherwise they are very similar. Cheap 123a batteries are almost the same price as cheap AAs, so price of batteries is not really an issue. Also the P2D is slightly more compact.
Anyone care to add more opinions or correct anything I've said about which one would be more useful and why? For those of you who have both, is the P2D really noticeably brighter than the L1D? I've seen beamshots of both side-by-side in some reviews posted here, and its actually hard for me to tell if the P2D is actually brighter. But I've never been able to compare the two in reality, so I wouldn't know. If the two really aren't that much different in terms of brightness on turbo, then I'd probably just go with the L1D because AAs are just that much more common than 123as.
Thanks in advance for the input.
