Reddit mentions of Fenix E12 CREE XP-E2 130 Lumen LED flashlight with EdisonBright AA alkaline battery. Upgraded from E11

I havent come across many quality lights that are adjustable focus. Either they are better at flood, throw or just a balance between the two.

Any light can use rechargeable batteries instead of the limited models that are rechargeable itself as a light.

Fenix E12 CREE XP-E2 130 Lumen LED flashlight with two EdisonBright AA alkaline batteries. E11 upgrade. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I9W7MRK/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Dp6Oub1N4F8C4

$40 for something that only goes us to 50 lumens?

fenix e12 seems like a way better option at a cheaper price point of $26. even comes with batteries.

Why the E11 and not the E12?

Depends on what you're needing to use it for....

I keep a Fenix E11 in a pocket pretty much all the time - runs on a single AA, now discontinued in favor of the slightly-more-complicated Fenix E12 - and it's great for looking in road cases, under things, etc.

I've occasionally been looking for - but haven't found - a replacement for the LED Mini MagLite that would fit in the Nite-Ize Pock-Its, but haven't come across one yet that I like.

For a super-bright grid-inspecting light, this Fenix PD35's on my wishlist...

Try a Fenix E12, runs about $26.
Here's a link for the light and 2 batteries for $26.95:

I carry a Fenix E12 and it is pretty nice. It's pretty small and bright and takes a single AA. I wish it had a clip.
