reccommend me a fenix please!?

[marcelxl]

Hi All,

I am going to get my Wife a Fenix (Decided on a fenix for the easily attainable accessories) I am after any usefull feedback from any of you who use them for which one to get please!

We both have the EO5 which is very impressive but she is after something larger (ooo-er!), AA powered-preferably 2 AA, powerfull and robust (She is a copper and garanteed it will be used on duty)

Thanks in Advance

Marc

I use a L2D.
I've been using it for years, it's been battered about and still going strong.
It runs off 2 AA batteries, and has 6 modes (Low, medium, high, turbo, sos, and strobe)

Have you considered the 4Sevens Quark range???? They come in AA and CR123. Flashaholics do them.

I have a 123^2 Tactical and like it a lot. I'm planning on the Regular Quark as well as a Mini sometime soon.

I also own and until recently used a Fenix P1D daily.

I'm using the LD2, and have been for several years. It's a great light but it's been upgraded by an even better specified one that I'd buy if I could justify having a new one when the old is still working.

The new light is the LD20 R5. It runs on two easy to find AA batteries and give out an amazing 205 lumens on turbo mode (you'll need fairly fresh batteries for this mode). It has the usual multiple output levels, a feature that I find incredibly useful and the same accesories will fit it.

There's several UK shops selling these lights but if you want you can take a chane on eBay and get one shipped in for a lower price.

got the LD10 for a mate who is a copper he likes it as the issue surefires usually have flat batteries

also if you get the wrong one or want latter a 2 AA you can just buy the body and swap the head over as you need to etc or even a CR123 ( i think )

Sorry no you can't if it's the newer version 1 year old with the pocket clip I sent one back (body) to HH and they credited money back to account (good of them) as the body and head have different threads - how stupid ? but so saying it's an amazing torch
cheers Danny

I've got a TK15 http://www.flashaholics.co.uk/fenix/fenix-tk15-r5.html which is great, I use it either as a hand held when camping or with the bike mount... only problem is that cars keep flashing me thinking my beams are up!

Should have mentioned earlier!!

I got her the LD20, pretty amazing really and would reccommend it!

I have the Quark 2 AA one, brilliant torch but for me the Fenix edges it for performance/output & ease of use/swapping beam strengths & to strobe mode.

I have the HL 20 (r4 bulb). It runs off 1 AA batt that will last 55 hours on low power (more than good enough to read with) and 3 other settings. On full power it shines something like 200 ft for 2 hours I think. Compact, bombproof and efficient. £37 ish in Hennie Haynes.
