I'm thinking of an LED Lenser..

Any opinions? Want it small, light, and durable. It's going to live on my car keys.

Best i've found so far are either the Fenix LD01 or the Klarus MiX6 Ti

Both are AAA light and i use Sanyo Eneloops in both.
The Fenix LD01 is 72 lumens, the Klarus MiX6 Ti 85 lumens.

Weight wise there is very little between them.

I prefer the MiX6 as the tint is more neutral (the LD01 has a greenish tint) plus it's titanium so takes more of a beating in the pocket without showing up.

I bought the MiX6 for £36.88 on ebay and the LD01 for €28.25, so the Klarus is more expensive it really depends on how strong your Ti fetish is and if you have a aversion to green tints in torches.


The Fenix is on my work keychain and the Klarus on my home keychain, both are really as back up lights rather than daily use, as if i'm working i have tools with me with a better torch and if i need a torch other times i have a Zebralight SC600 in my bumbag.
But both do get a fair amount of use as they're easy and quick to access .



Cheers

Fenix EO1 or a Thru Nite Ti http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thrunite-...ightsLanternsTorches&var=&hash=item4d0754859f

I have both of these and they are great the Thrunite is particularly good value

I am afraid the Maglite solitaire does not compete although I believe Maglite have upped their game recently

thats a fair point, no probs with that. Ive got one with an led bulb and it works for me but thats my opinion. I just feel that sometimes there are ways of speaking to people, you've come across A1 but that other fella clearly has an attitude problem and theres just no need for it. We are all individuals and we all have our own views and opinions but there are some people who don't understand that or respect other peoples views.
