How many fenix fans?

Fenix lights are great, no doubt but IMO there are better lights for the money in some categories. For instance, I had an EO1 that cost me around $13. For $20 you can get an ITP AAA light that actually has a lens and three levels, low being about the same as the EO1, plus a med. and high.
The Fenix LD10 is a great light but the low is way to bright. In the same price range you can get the Quark AA light that has moonbeam, and low that are both lower than The Fenix low.
After I got the Maratac AAA light for my keychain I gave my Fenix EO1 away. After I got the Nitecore D10 and Quark AA lights, I sold a Fenix LD10. Never regretted either move.

I'll have to check those out. I have ld10 'cause i read a bunch of praise for fenix here and that one seemed pretty good for my needs. when at work the low on that light is too low but when i'm outside playing at night the low is really too bright. It's hard to clip; i dont trust the clip; so far I have "lost" it twice.

single aaa mini maglite is plenty of light for me to do most things but i want more efficient with more light option if needed and probably aaa size. tiny package. which light suits that best?
 
PD20 here and carried every single day without exception. Love it can't live without it.
 
I have a Fenix E01 that I have been wearing around my neck with my keys for 2 years or so. Give them a lithium battery and they last forever. Would post a pic, but mine is a bit scuffed up and ugly.
 
I like the Fenix headband with the swivel mount. They sell this rig seperately with 2 swivel mounts. I use these holders with mostly Olights which I bought before I discovered the Fenix mounts.

I find the LD10 low great for normal activities but for checking on the baby, trying not to disturb my wife in bed or just long run time in general, it's way to bright. Otherwise, I love the LD10.
My Maratac AAA keychain light on high is brighter than the LD10 on turbo when I use a 10440 rechargeable in it. :thumbup: Throw isn't quite as good but the amount of light this little thing is capable of producing is astonishing.
 
I have a bunch of Fenix lights and really like them. The odd one has been finicky the odd time, nothing serious, but I question their reliability being made in China and all. What I really like are the available accessories, especially the head band and red filter.
