Okey dokey.

In order of lurve, not logically:

P3D CE Q5 OD

L1D CE

L2D CE

P1

L1P

I have given away the P1 and the L1P to mates, so they are still loved and used regularly.

Honourable mention for the E0.



Be lucky...

L1D CE (or RB or whatever) first (spare P2D body/switch, someday a spare L2D body)

L0D (w fancy LED) next

Oldies I like: E1, L0D, Civictor, L1P....

1. P1D CE Q5 (incoming)
2. P1 CE (current EDC, for it's simplicity)
3. E0 (work EDC, for dimness and runtime)
4. L1D CE (AA is always handy, but dislike the smooth reflector)

The post called for five, but... I consider my P1, L1P and a L0PSE to be outdated.
The P1 still gets some pocket time, now and then, just because it's small, black and shines enough lumens for most needs. Use it to kill old primaries.
The L1P is only used around the house.
The L0PSE lacks a better beam and higher PWM.

The P1D CE w/textured reflector. This light ruins my fun in grabbing higher end lights as it is smaller, lighter and brighter than most and it is longer running to boot.

I think that the P1D CE is one of the finest lights around.

Bit surprised that the P3D isn't mentioned as often so far. Especially the Cree Q5 version.

In no particular order since I believe in different lights for different tasks so the task must be specified to determine the order. I'll leave off the specific LED, later ones tend to be better.

- L0D
- P1D
- L2T
- P3D with PEU T2 Body (T3 good also)
- L2D

Interesting I see no single AA from Fenix on my list. I'm not using 1AA that frequently anymore. My Single AA lights in current use are the Zebra H-50, JetBeam C-LE v2, and the Gerber Ultra Infinity (white and red). I think its too easy to replace the single AA format these days with AAA, CR123 or 18650. Of course we need more 18650 options.

i totally agree, its the main reason my McG s27 stays in the jeep most of the time these days. the p1d-ce is just so small, when people see me with the s27 people are like "why do you have a flashlight?" which doesnt really bother me. but when they see the fenix they just say "WOW" and then "where do i get one?"

I have several Fenixes, and my personal favorite by far is the L0D Q4 as it is so bright for a 1 AAA light and smooth operation. Not as bright as my Rebel 100 light, but for the size I still get the wow giggles. So as not to dilute my list, I will only list one.
