I am looking to get a nice light that I can drop in my pocket and forget about. I have read lots of good things about the fenix lights and decided to go with them since it seems you get a lot for the money. My budget is about $60 so I should be able to get about any of their lights.
I have looked them over and decided I like the P2D because of the light output and runtimes. I would rather have an AA light but the increased brightness has convinced me to get the CR123 version.
I see they have just come out with a version that has the new Rebel LED which claims to have higher output and the same runtime. I have read they are also suppose to have a better color and beam pattern. Have these been out long enough to opt for this version or should I get the CREE version which has been out a little longer and a couple bucks cheaper?
I am also open to other suggestions for a light with similar characteristics. All the modes in the fenix are not a big deal for me but I'm willing to live with them. A high and low setting would be fine. I was also going to post this on candlepower forums but I am awaiting account approval. So if there are any flashlight junkies here I would love to have your thoughts. Thanks!
