Digital camera reviews of Fenix L0D-CE CREE LED Flashlight (5 outputs types) - 50 Lumens on one AAA battery
Digital camera Review: WAY BETTER THAN THE PHOTON MICROLIGHTS
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of the limited edition red ones left over from Christmas. Very likely it's the same as the black ones too. It's so powerful that I've found it'll illuminate a house a half block away! I used it a few nights ago at the shore to illuminate a bird over 100 feet away, it was amazing how it lit it up. It's tiny, nearly the size of a AAA battery. The AAA battery it uses lasts a very long time too so it's very cheap to run. I finally put in a new battery 6 months after I bought it. It still made usable light but not the dazzling brilliance that a new battery creates. It's been on my keychain now for over 6 months and the paint looks like new and it works perfectly. It's been in a swimming pool and it works perfectly. It's been dropped lots of times and it works perfectly.
This is way better than the Photonlight Freedom I used to carry that ate up expensive coin batteries two at a time. Another problem with the Freedoms is that they turn on in your pocket and you don't know it. It happened a lot and that meant frequent changes of the batteries, about once a month. The coin batteries are a pain in the career to put in too requiring watchmaker's tools to open it, pull out the batteries which are in a tiny metal "cradle". You then carefully align the Freedom inner two prongs to match the female connectors and press them in and hope you have gotten a good contact. Any pressure in your pocket turns it on and it stays on until the batteries you've just hassled over are run down.
With the Fenix you just unscrew the back, drop in a cheap AAA and screw the back in again. And it doesn't turn on in your pocket.
One of the Photon's big selling points with me was that it could signal with either a strobe or SOS pattern. That was very handy a couple times when I got locked in rooms to attract attention. The Fenix does the same thing but is far more powerful and longer lasting that the Photonlight.
Another problem I had with the Photonlight was that it was so tiny that it was hard to find at night on the keychain. Your fingers would miss it among the keys easily. Not so with the Fenix whose cylinder shape is easy to pick out and grab.
It's supposed to be about as powerful as a 3 or 4 D cell Maglight too. I haven't tested that side by side but it seems like it could be with a fresh AAA battery. It's amazing and it doesn't get hot like the Maglights.
About the only disadvantage I could imagine in comparing it with the Maglights is I don't think you'd hurt a badguy hitting him on the head with it. It's so light you won't notice it in your pocket.
My condolences to the Photonlight company....
