Fenix LED flashlights - Plumbing Zone

futz · 02-12-2010, 03:57 AM

If you're looking for an excellent LED flashlight, Fenix are, IMHO, the absolute best. I have no financial interest in the company - I'm just a VERY satisfied customer.

I own a Fenix L2D (now discontinued & replaced by the LD20) and a TK40. Both are awesome products when combined with some good Maha Powerex NIMH cells and charger. Both make any LED flashlight I've ever used before them look like pathetic junk.

The TK40 is insanely bright at the higher settings. At lower settings you can leave it on all day. The light is nice and white, not yellow like an incandescent flashlight, and not that freaky blueish light that cheap LED flashlights make (same goes for all Fenix lights).

I just pre-ordered a HP10. My old eyes are demanding more light these days, and trouble-lights are a pain in the nuts for many jobs. If the HP10 works out as well as I expect it to, I'll order another for home. I build and repair a lot of computers - trying to hold a flashlight and a screwdriver and the part you're trying to position and put screws in is VERY difficult. The head-lamp should make that kind of thing go MUCH smoother.

All the above links are Canadian, but you can Google and find U.S. sources too.

I've been looking for a good rechargeable flashlight. Maybe that with rechargeables is the way to go. How much for that whole setup?

I could add it up for ya, but I'd have to know where you live. And I'd have to know what you mean by "that whole setup".

Cmon! You know how to Google.

Or if you're in Canada all the links above will get you set up easily.

Ya, I did. Here's a Fenix dealer in Atlanta, GA - looks like it may be their "official" sales outlet. Lighthound.com sells Fenix, as well as lots of other stuff. There are many others in the Google list - just search "fenix flashlights".

You can order Maha batteries & chargers directly from Maha's online store, or use their dealer finder to find other sellers. Their 2700mAh Powerex cells are awesome!

Ya, I hear pretty good things about Surefire lights too. I don't own any though, so I can't claim any direct experience.

Fenix makes an excellent light. Lots of bike commuters strap them to their bars to light the way home.
