Nice Flashlight. November 22, 2008

This has to be the brightest flashlight I have ever owned. The amount if light coming from something so compact is amazing. Bought it because of its great reviews and I am not disappointed. It has a lot of different modes and is pretty well built. If I really had to fault one thing is that the batteries rattle a little bit in there and I mean a little bit, not enough to deduct a star though.

Small and Bright August 6, 2008

I own a few high powered LED lights including a bunch which use CR123 batteries. These lights have been bright but with the cost of (2) CR123's in our local stores breaking the $10 mark, I had to look for alternatives. I eventually decided to try the Fenix L2D-CE Q5 after reading reviews and seeing video reviews on the net. My first impression was one of surprise at how small and light it actually is. The Fenix L2D is about an inch shorter than a Mag 2AA LED flashlight and considerably thinner in the center where it steps down. It's actually small in my hands and I've dropped it a few times without any problems. (I do try to use the lanyard now though) The different settings take a little time to get used to...I either click it off instead of the soft tap to change the setting or tap too quickly and bypass the setting that was intended. This aside, the brightness at High and more importantly Turbo mode are surprising from such a small package. The light does get hot in Turbo mode and I haven't left it on for more than a few minutes...choosing High mode instead which is quite adequate. The color and spread of light are very clean and desirable. I haven't found a downside as of yet besides the tendency to drop. Overall I'm very impressed at the output, weight (especially using AA lithiums) and ability to move away from expensive CR123 batteries. I think this would make a great light for a vehicle or hiking/fishing kit...with many modes to choose from and brightness for any outdoor activity. Definitely a great buy...can't wait to order another!

The brightest flashlight I've ever owned and well worth the investment. August 4, 2008

I bought this flashlight a few months ago to take to Egypt so I could pretend I'm an explorer and crawl around inside of things and illuminate dark areas. Compared to a regular flashlight I was using and that I thought was bright, the Fenix L2D completely obliterated the other flashlight.

True story: I got to go inside the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Cairo and since it was dark (and extremely humid, but that's another story), everyone had their flashlights out. I pulled out this flashlight and overpowered their flashlights so much that I attracted a few people who were interested in what I was shining my light on and even got a few "wows" out of how bright this was. And this was even without it being super bright!

I haven't used the other two modes - the rapid flashing or the super bright mode that much. The rapid flashing will literally cause disorientation if you shine it at someone (good if you're a police officer, bad if you're a robber.)

I never thought that I'd care about flashlights or just thought that Maglites were the awesome ones. Ever since I got this, I'm extremely happy and overwhelmed at the sheer awesomeness of this.

I am very pleased with this flashlight. It has a decent amount of brightness, especially at the "ultra bright" setting. It gets hot very quickly at the brightest setting and the manual warns not to use it for prolonged periods. The flashlight is very light and durable. I dropped it about 4 feet onto concrete and it has been subjected to rain and various other elements with no ill effects. The barrel twist on / twist off operation is smooth. The battery life is acceptable with akalines however, I normally use quick charging NIMH's. The belt clip case is a nice touch. The only issue I have is that it is very difficult to attach the included lanyard to the the microscopically small holes on the bottom of the flashlight. I had to use a sewing needle and thread to loop it through. Outside of that, I think this is a very capable, compact and bright flashlight and I recommend it.
