I bought a L2D a few years back.

I selected this over other high intensity LED lights using the following criteria:

1) It was priced lower than Surefire, STreamlight, etc.

2) It has one of the "better" LEDs out there at the time.

3) It took standard AA batteries.

4) The reviews were very positive from several sources.

FENIX is a Chinese light.

Well..............the other day it flaked out. i found the warranty had expired when I looked into service/replacement so I took things apart, did some maintenance, troubleshooting, etc.

Turns out it was the endcap switch; and underneath all of the seals and rubber boots was an Omron PCB switch.

I emailed the factory; asking them if they could provide a spec for the switch so I could find one (and de-solder/replace it).

They referred the request to a domestic dealer who sent me a brand new switch "assembly" free of charge.

Thought I'd share a "positive" for those looking for something like this.

Word Cooper.

Andy im amazed at the prices of some flashlights now....saw one last time I went to Sportsmans Warehouse $295.99. You can find night vision scopes for less. I got a small 90 lumen led for $25.

I'm not sure what a "fleshlight" is, but if it is going in my ass, I think I'd definitely prefer the AA model....or even the AAA model.

Getting back to Fenix Flashlights....

I have an L2D laying around here somewhere. I replaced it with a PD30 (235 Lumens) to carry around with me. Clips in my front right pocket. I use it just about every day. It's good for rootin' around under the floor tiles in the server/network room while doing cable work! Also, getting older makes it harder to see small stuff without a little extra light on the subject.

I just ordered a newer, more efficient version of the PD30 (only 257 Lumens, but longer lasting)

I also have a TK40... (630 Lumens!)

Great flashlights.

And, yeah, be careful kid. You could put your eyes out! 😲

Oh, the other cool thing about these flashlights is their modes of operation.

Mine have:

Low, Med, High, and SOS

and also:

Turbo and Kill-them-where-they-stand Turbo Strobe!
