Come on Fenix! I love the looks of this light but they once again drop the ball with the low mode. This would be a perfect edc/camping/hiking light if it had 1 lumen low mode. Oh well, I think it's time for me to give up hope that Fenix will ever implement a true low mode

I've asked Fenix to add a real low mode....said so many customers want this....Hope the next generation will have good low modes...

Some more specs:
Mid is more than twice the LD02 mid-mode...

What is the "low mode" used for?

IMO it's needed on every "little" flashlight...and with me many others on this forum...
In real darkness for example 3-8 lumens is to bright for reading. Also the runtime at real low will be more than a month. This can be needed in emergency situations.

The only valid arguments I've ever heard are for camping (in the tent) or going to to the toilet at night while at home.
Sorry but the demand for a moonlight mode for an EDC light just isn't valid for most people. Besides for both examples, camping and especially for taking a pee, a hands free headlight would be the better option.
I have a Quark QPA and the only real use I have for the moonlight mode is as a bedside light.
BTW this Fenix LD09 looks awesome. I'll probably order one.

Do you mean forward clicky?
If it does may have a look at it. My LD10 I gave to my nephew as it had the WORST green tint I have ever seen but other than that was a good little torch. But it made me sick to look at it.

I love Fenix lights, I own several of them, but I don't understand why anyone would want an LD09.
My EDC is a Maratac AAA which is much smaller, and rated for 138 lumens. Smaller battery, smaller light, and still puts out more light. And it's under $30 when they are in stock.
I guess the LD09 has an SOS feature, but how often do you need that?
