I do not have one of the Fenix's, although they do look nice, I have a Surefire E2D LED. I am a military man and also deal in weapons, so I have many various tactical lights, but I can only speak of the Surefire which I have used for many years. The torture we put these through and their survivability is phenominal. I would like to test out one of these Fenix's to really put them through the test. They look nice, and are brighter than my 200 lumen Surefire, but I know what my surefire will take in abuse and still not let me down. That's just my 2 cents from an Infantry guy. Cheers!

The E2D was actually the first tactical light that I had ever heard of many years ago. For a time you could even purchase them in local stores such as Lowe's or Home Depot but the price was astonishing. The Surefire models are well known for durability and the Fenix models are supposed to be comparable in every aspect. That's why I asked about the long term use of the Fenix models. All of the reviews have been great and I recently had the opportunity to test one out. but I have never heard of long term tests, especially to the degree of tests that Surefires have gone through. As was mentioned, the Surefire models have been in use in the military and law enforcement for a long time and have been proven.
I have been getting more and more into flashlights as I do much of my work at night and still being in the military, there is always room for good illum. I am looking for a good (smaller) tactical light with strobe. I have couple streamlights and a surefire, which work well, but want something to keep in the truck all the time. Something in LED as well, and recommendations????

I love my Fenix TK15 (337) Lumens. I've had it for about a year now and use it all the time. The light battery and battery charger was all like $100.00. I've not checked but if you get it from http://flashlightsngear.com/ and use promo code GUNNOOK you get 10% off and free shipping.

The lights are AWESOME!! Those eagletacs are amazing for their size. I remember going coon hunting alot as a kid, and we used to use the mining lights, well these little lights, that will fit right on your key chain, would be all one needs nowadays and are way brighter than those big lugs we used to carry around. LOL I like all of them, but I am most amazed with these. I purchased the EagleTac, Fenix, Jetbeam, and Olight.
I am also excited to get the laser designators, for my varmint hunting extravaganza. LOL

I still love the Fenix brand and if I had the spare cash would be glad to pick some up but on a budget and to keep around in B.O.B. or vehicles or whatever I've been really impressed with Nebo. I have a 220 lumen that runs off standard AAA batteries, has a handy magnetic tailcap, 3 brightness settings and SOS/Strobe all for under $30. It can't compete with a 400 lumen lithium powered light but it's not supposed to. It has survived a full wash and dry cycle (accidentally left in laundry) and been dropped from distances as much as 10 feet onto solid concrete. Anyone wanting to grab some cheap tactical grade lights for their car or gifts or whatever should check them out. Just be sure to get some decent AAA rechargeables. I lost all of mine and have been using cheap alkalines, gets the job done but gets expensive.
this is a test [ost and needs to be removed
