Just got back from a camping trip in Lincoln National Forest in NM (I will try to post some pics later).

As much a knife fanatic as I am, I have to admit my Fenix L2D's were easily my most used and most worthy tools on my trip (I had two - One for each my wife and myself).

I purchased the Fenix L2D Luxeon Rebel LED Premium 100 Digital AA flashlight, 6 Levels

Toughened ultra clear glass lens with AR coating
Push-button tail cap switch

Capable of standing up securely on a flat surface to serve as a candle


I also purchased two of the diffuser tips that were VERY worthy for converting the light into a mini-lantern / tent light, etc.

The L2D Luxeon Premium with multi-levels was Awesome!

I never really even needed the "Turbo" level. However - Low, Med. and High offered plenty of variety of function.
Low was good in the car, tent and similar close uses when Medium was too strong.
Medium was more than sufficient for walking around the woods outside of the camp site to gather wood and move gear to the camp site, hiking at night, and similar. I used Medium about 80% of the time.
High was just for occasionally wanting a strong flood to look around at distances. High was nearly as strong as turbo. Probably less than 5% of the time.

Awesome TOOL!

5 days of camping and I never had to change the batteries once! Still strong!

5 Stars in my book!!!


If I could change anything, there really is only one thing I would change: I would have the SOS feature tied in with the Turbo, strobe features so I could click through low, med and high without having to click through SOS.

Also, I would like some sort of hands-free atachment. Maybe something I could attach to a hat or top of ear type piece. I often had to hold the light in my teeth to carry firewood and similar needs for both hands while needing light.

.... Anybody know of such a device?

Otherwise, hard to ask for much more.

If it weren't for the price, I would probably purchase another 2-4 more to have one in each car, each nightstand, kitchen, desk, etc.

..... I might still purchase some more someday and throw away a bunch of other now worthless flashlights.
