I dont know anything about Fenix but i know about surefire, i dont own anything else in that quality range besides my surefires and was wondering if fenix is worth a try...im sure i will get ALOT of mixed feedback with this...any opinions are appreciated!!! THANK YOU!
You have to hope someone has tested the light you want.
The E2DL is rated at 120 but when it was tested on CPF it ended up being 180-200 (general idea on CPF).
The 6PL is rated at 80 and was tested at 82.
My PD30 is rated at 225 and I am almost 100 percent sure it's close to accurate based on handling similar lumen lights.
It really comes down to LEDs and eyes. A light with twice as many lumens isn't going to appear twice as bright.
Only thing you can do is find a light you want, and look for testing, beamshots, and reviews. Then compare.
Get it into your head that everyone lies except CPF. Once you have done that, wait for a CPF certified-tester (joke) and see how the light compares to something you know.
