I used to swear by Streamlight but then i bought a Fenix.
WOW !!! Much cheaper than Streamlight and WAY way brighter!!!
I used to like mag light but they are junk now as far as i am concerned.
Fenix is a good bang for the brightness and durability in my opinion!!

Had bad luck with their ld 10 (just a lemon), had great success with the ld20 (3yrs hard daily use).


LD 10 was the demo @ 911 store (probably issue), developed problem within a week. They sent it for repair, would not swap it out for new now in stock light. Got it back, crapped out within 6mnths.

911 customer service sucks big time.


Back on track, Fenix are great value, can't go wrong with 4sevens either.

I have quite a few higher end flashlights and I have linked my all time favorite below. Been in my pocket for 3 years. This is the perfect light fits in your pocket ridiculously bright and priced right. I have bought bigger and brighter but I never have it when I need it because it is never in my pocket. Have tried the ones that take AA and AAA and though they are rated for comparable lumens they are not as bright as the Cr123 batteries. Just buy a box when you order the light and you will be good for a longgggg time. Also don't hesitate to order from the link great service and will be at your door in about 3 business days.

i have one and it works amazing, durable with good battery life. id buy another if i lost mine. and i have owned a few surefires before, nothing bad to say about them either but i think my fenix throws a farther beam.

I've used a few Fenix lights and they are VERY good quality lights, very bright, and a competitive price.

I could care less if they are made in China or the USA. I live in Canada so either way I'm supporting foreign business. Fenix has never let me down so far.

I have two models
TK41
http://www.fenixtactical.com/fenix-tk41.html

LD20 (new model is LD22)
http://www.fenixtactical.com/fenix-ld22.html

They have worked well for me and are very bright. I would buy another. If I were to choose only one it would definitely be the LD20 (LD22) for it's smaller size. If you're used to MagLites these will blow them away. There is no comparison.

The Sanyo Eneloop batteries are very good with these flashlights. I chose AA models for ease of battery replacement in hunting camp, if needed. Superstore President's Choice sells the same battery (rechargeable) in their brand (look for made in Japan) from what I understand.

Fenix website doesn't even list mine anymore it is so old. I have a TK 10 and it has been used everyday as well as camping, hunting, quading
It is an amazing little flashlight!!!
I could care less where it's made. It has stood the test of time for me.
I kinda like that TK 35, might have to consider that one.
I say you can't go wrong with Fenix.
Thats my three bitts werth.
