| The Fenix LD10 LED flashlight is digitally regulated and digitally controlled. It has two output modes which produce a total of six levels of output. These modes not only allow the user to select the best compromise between brightness and runtime for any given task, but they also help to aid in an emergency. The LD10 does all this and still retains a very compact size and uses a commonly found AA battery. If you're looking for solid reliability, digitally-regulated brightness, and compact size, this Fenix is for you. • Cree Premium (Q5) 7090 XR-E LED with lifespan of 50,000 hours • 2 modes with 6 types of output • General Mode: 9 lumens (34hrs) -> 47 lumens (6hrs) -> 94 lumens (2.2hrs) ->SOS • Turbo Mode: 120 lumens (1.5hrs) -> Strobe • Digitally regulated output-maintains constant brightness • Uses one 1.5V AA (Alkaline, Ni-MH, Lithium ) batteries, inexpensive and widely available • 100mm (Length) x 21.5mm (Diameter) • Made of T6 aircraft-grade aluminum • Durable Type III hard-anodized anti-abrasive finish • 50-gram weight (excluding batteries) • Waterproof to IPX-8 Standard • Toughened ultra-clear glass lens with anti-reflective coating • Push-button tail cap switch • Capable of standing up securely on a flat surface to serve as a candle • Included accessories: holster, lanyard, two spare o-rings, and a rubber switch boot |

| The product itself is great. The shipping took forever. I had to call Amazon and ask about it and it magically shipped the same day. |
Take this camping instead of lantern

| I purchased this flashlight to use for backpacking into the woods/mountains. I also purchased the wand diffuser to go over the end of the light. This has saved me so much weight compared to trying to find room in the pack for any sort of lantern. I love every thing about this system. Its small, lite, very bright, and will light up the entire campsite. Also good for late night prowlers around the camp (raccoons, bears, etc...) and will usually scare them off. I like the fact that I can use the light across the campsite and it still focuses the beam of light in a tight circle on your target. GREAT LIGHT. I decide to go with the single battery flashlight instead of the dual battery version just because i think I would rather only have to find 1 battery when it came time to replace them instead of two batteries. I try to make sure every piece of equipment I take will all use the same batteries(I don't want to carry multiple types of batteries). This thing is so bright that it will hurt you eyes if you look into it. Small and lightweight and still very tough. You won't be disappointed with this light. |
Affordable, high-quality, daily carry flashlight

| Bought the light just over a month ago. It has been my daily carry flashlight ever since. I have used it often and the single AA battery is still going strong. It is the perfect size for pocket carry or in cargo pants. My only complaint is that the light doesn't have a momentary on feature (you have to click the switch to turn on/off). Overall I'd give it a 4.5 of 5. |
Nice light except the button is hard to press

This is a nice light. It appears to be well-built although I haven't had it for long. It's almost as bright as a C-cell Maglight. My only problem is the button switch. It is flat and doesn't stick out much, so it's hard to press. There are also two raised areas on the rim that surround it and get in the way sometimes depending on how it is rotated in your hand.
It is difficult to press the button with the thumb when holding the light in the fist. You either have to press very hard, of shift it around in your hand, or use the index finger. I would like this light a lot more if it had a raised, rounded button that could easily be pressed while the light is carried on the fist. |
Best compact light ever!

I loved my first LD10 so much I bought a second ... now I just have to order the Fenix Headband for 18-22mm Flashlights (which will hold two LD10s) and I'm all set.
This light is bright ... very bright considering it runs on a single AA battery. I strongly recommend the purchase of Sanyo Eneloop 2 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries w/ Charger, unless you already have suitable rechargeable batteries on hand.
It is equipped for self-defense, with a crenulated bezel and a strobe mode that should disorient an attacker (strobe mode is also very useful for seriously irritating your spouse, s.o., etc.) The included holster is simple, but should meet any need; it has a plastic ring for clipping, a velcro belt-loop that appears to be MOLLE/PALS compatible, and a solid stitched belt-loop. My only very minor complaint is that the holster doesn't provide for horizontal belt carry.
The light is very well made, and should stand up to whatever abuse you throw at it. It appears to be well sealed against water, and has stood up well for me in rain and snow (though I haven't tested it by submersion).
Generally, 120 lumens is enough for most folks, for most lighting tasks. Unless you just want a brighter light for the heck of it (in which case, see Fenix TK40 High Performance Cree LED Flashlight, Maximum 630 Lumens), the only reason to get a larger light is for, um, "tactical" reasons (you know, the reasons that made the monster Mag Lites popular).
Bottom line: a fantastic, ultra bright, ultra compact, self-defense worthy, reliable light, very suitable for daily carry in your pocket, purse, backpack, briefcase, or for keeping in your glovebox for an emergency. Everyone in my family is getting one for Christmas 2011 ;)
Oh, and the Fenix AD401 Headlight Diffuser Lens for L1D, L1T, L2T, L2D, P2D, P3D, LD10, LD20, PD20, PD30 & HP10 Flashlights/Headlamps fits this light, though I wasn't very impressed with it. It'll do if you have a specific need, though. Fenix also offers the following accessories for this light:
Fenix Flashlights Red Filter
Fenix Flashlights - White Diffuser Wand
Fenix Flashlights Red Diffuser
As well as other goodies, such as traffic wands, further enhancing the versatility of this light. |
