Fenix LD01 Flashlight

The LD01 is one of my favorite flashlights, and I own many.Why do I like this tiny light so much?- It's super lightweight. Even with a battery fitted you can put it in a small pocket and you won't even notice that it's there. This is not true of most larger lights.- It's reliable. An LED bulb that won't break if dropped or burn out (for years), as well as a twist-to-operate mechanism that is simple and not prone to failure like some button operated lights. It's also water proof so you can use it without worry in the rain.- Quick to charge. Okay, it doesn't actually have a charging feature, but if you use low self-discharge rechargeable batteries (like Eneloops) they hold their charge for a long time and with a decent charger you can recharge them in virtually no time.- Decently bright. Okay, 72 lumens isn't going to blow anyone away and the light is more flood than throw, but when you need to see to go up an alley or some stairs in the dark, this has you covered. [If you need a serious light for camping/hiking/caving/the great outdoors this is not it.] The light starts in "medium" output mode which is reasonable for most purposes, but if you're looking for something that comes on in low so you don't disturb a partner at night you may find better alternatives.- Long runtime. This light is very efficient and its power is regulated, which means it can run on low output mode for a really long time if you get caught in an unexpected situation and need to be aware of your surroundings. Cheaper lights won't do this, they will come on bright and quickly fade. The LD01 will be pretty consistent until it runs out of power.I use my LD01 all the time, and when I lost it recently I ordered another the same day without hesitation, even though they are a little on the pricey side IMO. Tip: Use the included metal clip to avoid replicating my mistake! It's tough to attach but once it's on it's great quality and keeps your LD01 firmly attached.I would definitely recommend this light as something that is easy to carry and has a lot of practical uses, even if you already own bigger, brighter lights.

The is a fantastic pocket/key-chain flashlight, possibly the best available. Here's a great recent comparison:[...]. I only give it four starts because there's so much room for improvement:- It's too big. There are similar lights which are 9mm shorter, and lights which are 2mm narrower.- It should be compatible with 3V rechargeable 10440 LiON batteries, which would double runtime, and enable a much brighter turbo-mode.- Why hassle me with three brightness modes, rather than continuous brightness selection as I turn the head?- Turbo mode could be far far brighter... at least 200 luminsFirst, this light could be smaller. There's wasted room next to the reflector that could easily fit all the electronics. The lanyard tail on this light, which I don't even use, is about 4mm. Combined, I see nearly 1cm of length that could be trimmed. The stainless steel version uses the same metal thickness, which causes the weight to be more than double that of this light. A stainless steel version should be 10-20% thinner, similar to the Klarus MiX6, and not significantly heavier.Second, it's crazy not to support 10440 LiON batteries. They store 3X more energy than the NiMH enloop rechargeable batteries people use with this light. The electronics should be upgraded to support a wider input voltage range.Third, why not provide continuous brightness selection? When the head is screwed on tight, it should be off, and when I unscrew the head, it should get brighter. Think of the Maglite Solitare functionality, but rather than adjusting focus, it should adjust brightness. As I said, there's room for the electronics in the wasted space, so I don't accept the premiss that such functionality would make the light bigger. Also, in a $40 light, I don't accept that the electronics would be too expensive.The 72 lumin maximum is a reasonable value with 1.2V batteries, but if I just want to impress a friend, why not go brighter? The Cree XP-G R5 LED is rated at 260 lumins at 700mA. Some rechargeable 10440's can deliver 700mA, and with 80% efficiency, you could put out 200 lumins. Why not measure the LED heatsink temperature, and dim the light only to keep it acceptably cool? That would provide a huge "wow" factor. It would blow people away.So, Fenix built a fantastic light with the LD-01 R4, but there's much room for improvement!

Carried daily for over 2 months now. Will continue to - until something better comes along.Pros: Great pocket-sized light and - because it is so portable - it stays on my keychain and I find uses for it daily. Seems of durable construction. Uses AAA batteries. Excellent light output for a diminutive light (esp med and high modes).Cons: Twist-style switch works best for me using two hands. In hindsight, would probably prefer rear mounted push switch. Intermittently, have encountered times where switch does not switch modes properly. Twisting on-off rapidly to switch sometimes results in the same mode or light doesn't stay on. Perhaps pocket lint gets in there somehow. Fiddling a bit with the twist bezel usually results in the problem clearing itself, so I'd characterize it as an occasional nuisance.Overall, I'm satisfied with this Fenix as a highly portable, cost-competitive mini light for EDC.

I am staying away from Fenix from now on. This is the only flashlight that attracts corrosion of batteries (good quality Duracell batteries). I bought three Fenix models based on good reviews. All three somehow induce corrosion of batteries. Other brands, ones that cost a fraction of the Fenix models, do not cause corrosion of batteries. I guess Fenix is a newer company in terms of flashlight design. They don't really have too much experience in technical details. Their flashlights are quite bright but unfortunately do not last.

When I purchased this flashlight it was pretty amazing. The output is very good for such a small flashlight. The only problem is that two of the light settings do not work now (the dimmest and the second most bright one). It is still good if you want a bright light.

Es muy pequeñita pero alumbra mucho más que cualquier linterna grande de esas multileds (de esos leds blancos típicos). Exprime la pequeña pila de tipo AAA al máximo, manteniendo el brillo máximo casi hasta el último momento. Muy resistente.La única cosa que le añadiría para hacerla perfecta es que memorizase el ultimo modo en el que se usó (tiene 3 modos).(Por cierto, en los detalles dice que incluye batería de litio, pero no es cierto, al menos a mí no me vino con ninguna batería/pila)

La taille est vraiment réduite : la lampe est à peine plus grande que la pile à l'intérieur.Je l'ai accrochée à mes clefs de voiture et c'est super pratique.La qualité est visible tout de suite : c'est du solide.Niveau luminosité, c'est juste incroyable ce qu'une aussi petite chose peut produire comme lumière.Pour l'autonomie, je n'ai pas encore changé la pile et ça fait plusieurs mois que j'ai cette lampe.Reste le seul point faible : le prix.Mais la qualité se paye, il n'y a pas de secret.

Ich kann mich mit meiner Begeisterung meinem Vorgänger nur anschließen. Die Lampe ist wirklich so klein und leicht, dass sie in jede Hemd- oder Hosentasche passt und nie stört. Gibts auch von anderen Herstellern, aber nicht annähernd mit dieser Leistung. Das kleine Ding liefert 72 Lumen aus nur einer AAA-Batterie oder sogar aus einem AAA-NiMH-Akku, das ist eine normale Strasse mit beiden Gehwegen in ca. 30 Metern komplett ausgeleuchtet. Was ebenso erstaunlich ist ( bei dem Winzling ) und die Lampe zum perfekten Begleiter macht, sind auch noch drei gut gestufte Leuchtstärken, die in einem für den Einsatzbereich der Lampe idealen Lichtkegel abgestrahlt werden. Mit so einer Lampe will ich keinen Spot in 100m Entfernung tanzen lassen, sondern die nähere Umgebung ausleuchten, in der ich mich befinde oder bewege und dafür ist der Lichtkegel von Fenix einfach perfekt gewählt.Ansonsten ist die Lampe gewohnt gediegene Fenix Qualität und sogar wasserdicht nach IPX-8, d.h. man kann sie sogar zum Schwimmen mitnehmen. Wenn also jeman eine wirklich kleine leichte Lampe mit viel Licht sucht und das gestuft für alle möglichen Situationen, dann meine ich ist das die! Lampe.Geliefert wurde sie direkt von Amazon, einwadfrei verpackt und innerhalb von zwei Werktagen. Auch einfach sehr gut.

Ｒ２より明るく、どちらかというと拡散光なので、日没後の大震災で最初に使うライトとしてお勧めです。拡散光でも、遠くまで光が届かないわけではなく、手元の地図などを見るのにも向いています。私はこのライトを、ランヤードを使って首から毎日ぶら下げてます。会社で震災に遭った場合は、脱出指揮官（役職のある上司）が使うライトとして向いています。軽くて、電池もＡＡＡ１本ですから、首から下げても苦になりません。肩が凝るのは初日だけでしょう。もちろん、エネループも使えます。非常に経済的です。但し、このライトも筐体がアルミなので、すぐ熱を持ちますから、火傷には注意が必要です。点灯及び調光はツイストスイッチです。装身用として使わなければ、子供の手の届かない場所に保管しましょう。なお、この機種もＳＯＳ発光ができません。別のライトを用意しましょう。中国製

cet article ne m'a pas été livré avec sa pile d’où les étoiles en moins , à part ça la lampe est vraiment très puissante pour sa petite taille
