dsgarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=1710 I need new lights for camping/hiking and my car/bedroom. The specs of this particular light seem very impressive for the price. Has anyone put these to hard use? Do they hold up? The only thing I would like that this doesn't seem to have is some kind of lanyard. Thanks. Damon |

For the money it is hard to beat a Fenix light. www.Fenix-store.com The P2D will be my next light eatures • Utilizes a Cree 7090 XR-E LED with a life of 50,000 hours • Two modes of output, selected by turning the bezel • General Mode: 9 lumens (30hrs) -> 40 lumens (5.5hrs) -> 80 lumens (2hrs) -> SOS • Turbo Mode: 135 lumens (1hrs) -> Strobe • 15 days of survival use (2 continuous hours per day on the lowest setting) • Digitally Regulated for Constant Brightness • Uses one CR123A battery (not included) |
I really like my Fenix lights, I am suprised you havent seen all the postings about them lately  I have the LODce for daily carry, and the L2Dce is my main BOB light. Pretty good stuff. I will be checking out the light you posted, looks to have some good features. Might have to hack it and install a Cree LED though

+1 on the Fenix products - I dare say you won't find more reliable or versatile flashlights for the money. My personal favorite is the L2D CE - Produces a steady 135 lumens for around 2.5 hours from a pair of standard AA cells, and will also run for several continuous days at lower brightness settings. |
I really have no idea for sure, but my Fenix lights have stood up to quite a bit of abuse so far, but I dont think I would mount one on a weapon. Fenix lights are more designed as general purpose and daily carry lights. For mounting to a rifle, I would think an actual tactical light would probably work out better. Surefire is probably the brand to go for if you want to gun mount a light. |
| It needs to be a purpose designed weaponlight, with a shock isolated bezel and bulb, at least in terms of an incandescent bulb. Most have the bulb mounted on a spring and the battery compartment separated from the bulb compartment, so the batteries don't batter the bulb. Not sure, but would assume the same for an LED light. |
