The Fenix L2D CE is digitally regulated and digitally controlled. It has two output modes which produce a total of six levels of output. These modes not only allow the user to select the best compromise between brightness and runtime for any given task, but they also help to aid in an emergency. If youâTMre looking for solid reliability, digitally-regulated brightness, and compact size, this Fenix is for you.

Summary: Amazing
Comment: As other reviewers have said, this is an AWESOME light. Its small, lightweight, and bright, with great beam throw. Plus it runs on cheap, easily obtainable AA batteries. It also has 6 different outputs. Why would you want lower beam outputs? Because this light is way to bright for close range stuff (like lighting up the inside of your computer, or trying to read something in the dark). When I first got it, I couldn't wait for it to get dark to see how well it holds up, and it did not disappoint. I ordered this light along with the Fenix TK10 and both were amazing. I tested it side by side by side along with my Surefire G2 LED, and I love these Fenix lights. Even if your not a flashlight geek, just get one of these L2D-CE (since it uses 2 AA batteries, great for regular folks) and never look back.

Summary: Surprisingly bright, good strong beam, but beware battery use
Comment: I've used a handful of different LED flashlights for my job (appliance repair) and this is easily the most powerful so far. It uses AA batteries so you can pick some up just about anywhere - which is good, because it eats through batteries pretty fast. I use the light daily, and during one particularly busy work week I had to replace the batteries twice (as opposed to replacing batteries perhaps once or twice a month with other lights, but then they were nowhere near as bright).
I've tried different types of batteries but have seen no appreciable difference in how long they last. Also, when the flashlight is left on for long periods of time, it does get quite warm to the touch. Nevertheless, I like this light and the ability to select the level of brightness is a useful feature. I bought one for a coworker and he likes it too, but also noticed that it needs batteries frequently.
If you will be using it occasionally or don't mind the expense of batteries this is a pretty slick little flashlight.

Summary: Nothing Comes Close - Simply The Best
Comment: So bright you cannot look at the beam, 2x AA battery and runs at full power longer than any other light I have used. I have both the L2D & L1D. Keep one at work, home, and in each glove box.
These lights are absolutely worth every cent. You will not be disapointed, better than Surefire and use off the shelf battery to boot.
I have had several months of daily use with no issues.

Summary: Bright, long battery life, and takes no gup from nobody
Comment: I bought this last year and it's served me very well as a replacement to the industry-standard MiniMag. As a professional lighting technician, I'm constantly stuck in the dark, making a good flashlight incredibly important. A few weeks ago, I helped load-out a concert that had been set up on a swampy garden site in the middle of the night. Our Lull forklift had no lights on it, so guiding it up and down a narrow path between a pond and a sharp hill was a challenge. On its brightest intensity, this guy cut right up the path, outperforming and outlasting even the big hand-lamp the operator was trying to use.
The weight and size are great. It's light enough to tack on your belt and forget about it, or bite on for a hand's free lighting experience without straining your jaw too much. Being about MiniMag size, it fits in a variety of tool pouches meant to carry multi-tools and flashlights. It's put up with a rough time on my belt with surprisingly few scratches and no dents at all.
I found no real use for the lanyard and the strobe modes are pretty annoying. I'm sure SOS could come in handy if I was out camping, but when you're looking for plain illumination, it can get in the way. The high power strobe is even more useless. I find I don't tend to use the two medium intensities much, either. If low isn't bright enough, the 135 lumen turbo mode will do the trick.
The AA cell power source is great. I've had lights that used N-cells, which are a pain to find in a hurry. I've been using NiMH rechargeable AAs for a while with decent success. In time, I find that gunk builds up on the contacts, causing the light to flicker, and unwittingly switch modes. But some rubbing alcohol or even scratching at it with a fingernail cleans them up.
It's pricier now than it was when I bought it. I suspect FenixLight discontinued it in favor of the version 2. If that's anything like this, it's well worth the extra money if you rely on a flashlight at work.

Summary: In the competition
Comment: I did quite a bit of research before settling on this item which I gave to my son-in-law to use while serving in Iraq with the Army. I had previously given a SureFire to my Marine son who used his in Iraq. Thought we'd see how they compare in a real-time environment. The Fenix has been a hit and has become a show-off piece amongst the troops. They really like the automatic SOS feature. That it uses AA batteries is a bonus because they are readily available (unlike the SureFire) though, if at all possible, you want to keep it loaded with lithiums rather than the standard AAs. Its durability has been very good thus far (the SureFire fared a little worse but, then again, it--along with my son--survived an IED explosion). It's a lot of light with a lot of options in a small package with a fair price. Not five-star because of Fenix's poor user instructions--you shouldn't have to search the Internet to find out from others how to use its features. Also, the packaging was crushed because of the poor mailing container of the seller.
