Reddit mentions of Fenix LD10 100 Lumens Waterproof LED Flashlight

Sum up the light in a few words:

Name | Battery (type and quantity) | Lumens and mode | battery life (in order of lumens mode) | length | price (rounded up to full dollar)

------------------

The simple one mode guy:

• Coast PX25 | 3x AAA | 208 Lumens | 6.25 hrs | 4.7" | $28 Prime
  
  
  Maybe another setting would be nice:
  
  
• Coast HP7 | 4x AAA | 251/58 Lumens | 5.75/10 hrs | 5.6" | $44
  
  
  ...Or like 30 settings:
  
  
• Fenix LD10 | 1x AA | 120/94/47/9/SOS/Strobe Lumens | 1.5/2.2/6/34/varies hrs | 3.4" | $39 Prime
  
  
  Simple and I hate AAAs:
  
  
• Fenix E21 | 2x AA | 170/54 Lumens | 2.25/11 hrs | 6.5" | $31 Prime
  
  
  I like a sleek slim light with a lot of settings. I don't mind that its twist on:
  
  
• Foursevens P2 | 2x AAA | 160/?/2/SOS/beacon/strobe Lumens | 1/?/23/varies hrs | 5" | $45 Prime
  
  
  ...That and CR123As are my kind of battery:
  
  
• Foursevens Mini | 1x CR123A | 189/40/3/SOS/beacon/strobe Lumens | 1.2/8/150/varies hrs | 2.3" | $35 Prime
  
  
  Tail button FTW:
  
  
• Streamlight ProTAC | 2x AAA | 80/10/strobe Lumens | 1.5/30/5 hrs | 5.6" | $29 Prime
  
  
  
  Tail button and AAs FTW:
  
  
• Streamlight ProTAC | 1x AA | 50/6/strobe Lumens | 1.75/22/4 hrs | 3.9" | $33 Prime
  
  
  
  A little longer gets you 2x the brightness:
  
  
• Streamlight ProTAC | 2x AA | 120/14/strobe Lumens | 1.75/21/4 hrs | 5.9" | $36 Prime
  
  
  Okay lets face it. CR123As are kinda cool:
  
  
  
• Streamlight ProTAC | 2x CR123A | 180/10/strobe Lumens | 2.5/50/6 hrs | 4.7" | $40 Prime
  
  
  
  
  
  Hope that helps!! I have a couple Streamlights and I am happy with them. On a budget (sub $50-80) they are great lights. A lot of people (non-tactical) like Foursevens. Never used one. If you aren't afraid of loosing it they seem like fantastic lights. If you can afford it and you are in tactical or just rugged situations Surefire makes unbelievably good flashlights... but they cost a lot.

I preach this 24/7. It really surprises me just how many people carry a gun but don't also carry a flashlight. This is what I carry with me everywhere, every day.

I've got the Fenix LD10, a step below what is pictured in the OP, and costs roughly the same thing - about $50 on Amazon.


I don't do anything as exciting or tactically-requisite as a private investigator or similar, but you'd be surprised at how useful a ready flashlight can be in your day to day life. Totally necessary, absolutely not, but handy as hell to have, and having a nicer, more expensive one will not only make the general experience nicer, but makes you more likely to carry/not lose/care for it.

High quality, great light output, surprisingly long battery life (on a regular AA, not even the crazy Lithium batteries), rugged, handy every now and then, and small/compact enough to tuck away and carry every day. I'll pay $50 for that.

Maybe this can help you: Parametrek Flashlight selection tool.

I personally carry a Fenix LD10 on my front left pocket, unclipped (but with the removable clip still there) and have no problems. However, I used to carry an Inova X1 (not a great light, but pretty compact) and it was unnoticeable.

Head over to /r/flashlight, they're experts there.

That's fine! What about something like a Fenix LD10?

Great brand, durable, very bright, uses common batteries.

Fenix LD10 has been great. Small with a clip to ride inside a pocket with two brightness level.
