I never buy any other flash light but Fenix.  Quality for the$ is unmatched.  Once they start sacrificing quality for the sake of a margin, I'll move on. For now,  they are my preferred light source.

Best all around flashlight, I have carried it everywhere since I got it, and the initial battery charge has literally lasted an entire month of daily usage and is STILL GOING.  Extremely usable modes and strobe, thought about the Nitecore SRT, but happy I chose Fenix.

It's difficult to find the words to express the power and quality packed into this small "flashlight."

I have mentioned in reviews of other flashlights that ever since I was a kid I have had a "flashlight fetish." It's not that I have a fear of the dark. I just like flashlights, and this technological wonder is indeed properly named as "The Ultimate."

I have never before spent more than $25 on an excellent flashlight. But I currently have a special need, as I currently am in a handicapped condition. For now, I need to use crutches or a walker to move about. I have always been totally confident of my ability to defend myself which was an acquired art. But for now, I have lost that confidence. I could of course carry a loaded gun in my right hand while holding my crutches or walker (which would be totally legal where I live), but that might be a bit awkward to say the least. So I felt that this light would be more appropriate and fully sufficient.

This is, among other things, a Tactical Flashlight. It's throws 2000 Lumens of light which will instantly temporarily blind someone who means to do you harm and in its strobe mode will blind and disorientate them.

As a tool to light up an area it is astonishing. And this light is smaller than the ordinary ordinary run-of-the-mill flashlight you might find in a supermarket or big box store. I have never before witnessed anything like it. It is not only extremely bright but it throws its white light far and wide. Like "light up a football field" far and wide.

You can sense the quality of the build just by holding it. It is rock-solid, easy to hold and operate.

It comes with a holster and a landyard. I had no clue as to how to attach the landyard until I saw this:  http://www.fenixtactical.com/manuals/How_to_tie_your_lanyard_to_Fenix%20_Flashlight.pdf

I could go on to describe this light's virtues but it has so many good qualities I have not the time for that. I will attest that everything Fenix says about this light on its website is true. If you have a need for a powerful light and have the bucks to spare this is The One. The way I look at it is, that if at my age if I can still buy a thrill for $200 its a great deal :-)

Sadly, despite its greatness it did not squelch my flashlight-fetish. The next day I bought a Fenix TK 16 from this seller which has its own unique virtues.

The seller deserves Honorable Mention here. The light was shipped very quickly. Moreover, the degree of care taken in protecting this package from damage during shipment raises shipping box packing to the level of an art form.

Small small light, big big power.

This is the first light I got from Olight. Been a Fenix fan boy for years and never believe this small body could have that much of power. and its so tiny that I have to use the magnetic on the end to hold it some where before I lost it.

This works so well that I bought another Olight S30R II. but that one was a disappointment. It claimed over 1k lumens but only as bright as a 500 lumen light, yes, I mean the S1. and only merely brighter than my Fenix TK15. So you could imaging how much I love this light.

Surefire, Fenix, and Streamlight get all the hype but thats all they are.  4Sevens has put all their energy into developing new lighting technology and they have surpassed all three of those brands at a much lower price.  $200 or $300 for a police quality light, no thanks.  For about $60 or $70 I can have a light that I can depend on with my life.  I can afford to put one on every rifle and one on my duty belt.  It's always there and I didn't go broke.

I just can't justify buying anything else, it's the Glock of flashlights.

Ok first let me say this is my first Fenix light and I am very impressed with this light specific to how it is designed. The on/off button has a positive feel. The light feels great in my hand. As a flashlight collector (yes I know this sounds quite nerdy) I knew this would not be a spot light, but a great flood light. Please know if you are considering this light and see this UE version has 1800 lumens and the standard TK35 has 'only' 860 lumens this UE version will be much brighter...this is only the case if you are looking for a floody-wide beam that does not reach out far but very bright in the sub-100 yard range. In contrast the standard tk-35 will reach out much further but not have as wide of a beam. I point this out because it's important to know more lumens doesn't equal longer distance. I think Fenix and other flashlight companies do a very poor job at marketing this point to the general public.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, Awesome.  Can't get any better or brighter (unless i get the x3!) and keeps me in sight of vehicles on coming or when I'm at a stop.  This light has saved my tail many times when I see idiot drivers (YES YOU) texting and veering in the bike line, they see how bright and blinky this light is and veer (or me just yelling and cursing at them) out of the lane when I'm riding.  I can't say how well Cateye (Thanks to Japanese made items) makes their products, they're just amazingly well made and the battery life is so awesome!

These flashlights are awesome for keychain or everyday carry.  Extremely bright for their size and convenient enough to always have with you.  Fenix makes excellent products!  I own 3 different lights and all of them have been top quality.  I work in a factory in the maintenance department full time and volunteer with the Rescue Squad in my free time.  I use my lights all the time.  I've never had a problem with a Fenix light yet.

Fenix is an outstanding light.  This is my third light and all have been better than expected.  Great light quality and intensity and good battery life.  Looks good too.

Love this light. The function, mount and brightness are very impressive for this price point. I have been using this for over a year now with no issues.
I also own another Fenix light that is mounted on my helmet. The quality is very good. You will not be disappointed if you choose this light. I'm glad I shopped my buck lights outside of Bycycling magazine. Do your homework and maybe you will come to the same conclusions I did. Fenix.

This was my second time ordering the same flashlight, LOVE LOVE LOVE it and will never buy a different brand or torch. Small, Handheld, Lights better than any Maglight ever could and disappears in a pocket.

I lost my RC10 so I bought this one. This one is slightly bigger, however, triple the brightness. I love Fenix flashlights!

I was unsure about getting an Olight thought they were too good to be true. But I did and wow what a great light there my favorite brand. I love my Nitecore and Fenix flashlights but Olights quality is top notch. I have sonce got the S30 in titanium as well there my two favorite Flashlights and probably all you need to get for range and coverage plus there both titanium! ! ! Awsomeness

This is the type of flash light that needs to be in every car.  it is an amazing flashligt that runs 20hrs on a single AAA battery.  i live out in South Texas (Rio Grande Valley) and two years ago Hurricane dolly left us without electricity for about 6 or 7 days.  i got one for all of my sisters and wife for there purses.  WARNING:  do not get it in Black, gold is the best color IF you want to find it(LOL).  it can easily get lost in a purse or backpack if its black.  a bit pricey but its water proof and built to last!!!!!!!  i also have other fenix flash lights all worth there weight in gold.

This light is amazing!  I just got it today, so I'll update if anything goes wrong.  But my initial thoughts are that it's extremely bright (especially considering the size), it's tiny, the twisty mechanism is easy and smooth, and overall it has the feel of a premium product.  Because of the unique combination of high lumens and minuscule size, I'm positive this will be my most used flashlight.  I plan to use it exclusively on the 16340 battery, except when charging it. Highly recommended!

Edit:  I've owned this light for a short while and my initial impressions have been confirmed and strengthened.  I prefer this light to my more expensive flashlights (Fenix PD35 TAC) because of it's usability and versatility.  Because of it's tiny size and strong output, this is a flashlight that will work for nearly every situation.  Unless you require a specialized light for unique circumstances (like the Thrunite TN42, which throws 1500+ meters) this is a perfect light for 95%+ of the general population.

Edit2:  I couldn't help myself and ordered another one of these flashlights.  I paid $30 again for the Fenix E15 + cr123a + Fenix 16340 rechargeable + Nitecore charger combo.  Insane deal, and I couldn't say no.  They are now $45.95 as I type this, a price more in line with what you'd expect.  This second light has the same smooth threads, bright light with nice white tint (I'm not super anal about tint as some flashlight guys are, but it looks excellent to me), and feels and responds just as my first one has.  The twist mechanism continues to be a boon to this light as it keeps size and weight down, is easy to use one handed, and from what I read is generally more reliable since there are fewer things to go wrong with twisty lights. Time will tell if that last point is true.  I had Fenix LD10 clicky that failed after 5 years, but that's pretty damn good for anything light, and wasn't disappointed, as it gave me an excuse to get this superior light (for cheaper than I paid for the LD10.)  Indoors I typically use the 8 and 50 lumen modes.  Outdoors at night I use the Turbo 450 lumen mode and it fully lights up the surrounding area.  I live where there are bears, coyotes, bobcats, and mountain lions, this light allows me to feel comfortable in my surroundings by informing me, without a doubt, what is around me. The light is that bright on 450 lumens (even when it steps down to 270.)  This second light was purchased as a backup, since the deal was too good, but it will receive use as well.  I'll probably take me E01 off my keychain and put this bad boy on.  Then I'll have the second to use at home.  I also have a nice Thrunite Ti3, but that is only really useful for it's firefly anymore (which really is quite nice for indoors when going pee at night without waking me up too much.)  To sum up this rant, I've never been so excited for a flashlight.  The ultra high efficiency XP-G2 LEDs combined with lithium ion batteries make for insane brightness on turbo, absurd run time (40h on 8 lumens) all in a light that is 2.6" in length and can be taken anywhere in pocket or even on one's keyring.  This thing is where it's at if you're looking for a small, powerful, EDC light that's versatility will be hard to match, and near impossible once the value of the bundle is figured in.  At the current $45.95, the deal is not as strong as when I bought it (both times), but it still is a solid deal and still worth it without a doubt. But if it drops to $29.95 again, pull the trigger immediately, it's a crazy deal. Same price as the light alone, but with the rechargeable lithium ion, cr123 primary, charger (for all types of lithium ions), and of course the new in box Fenix E15.

This is simply the best flashlight ever. This is by far the brightest, most compact, affordable and most energy efficient flashlight I have ever used. I bought one at Target because I was intrigued by the "3Watt" claim. This product delivered. I was amazed at how long the batteries lasted. I've bought five of them as gifts for the people "who have everything". I also bought another one for myself. It really is a pleasure to see a product deliver on all counts and exceed your expectations. I cannot say enough about this light, you will be very satisfied. I own lots of different flashlights and this one far outpaces all them, Maglite included.

On a recent camping trip to the Sierra's, my friend brought along a new flashlight he had just purchased, the Fenix TK35. I was dumbfounded. The amount of light that it emits is unreal as is the area at which it covers. Until now, I always carried a couple of Maglite XL50's. Those are now back-up flashlights in my camping gear box at home. Instead of purchasing the TK35, I went with the PD35. It has the same outstanding qualities of the TK35 and was less expensive than what my buddy paid for his TK35. I can't recommend this flashlight enough. I camp or travel to desolate places dozens of times a year and a good flashlight is essential. Now that I have this one, I find myself constantly questioning why I only had those Maglites. On a side note, the Fenix PD35 uses 18650 rechargeable batteries (flat-top OR button-top) which is the same batteries I use in my electronic cigarette (kids, don't smoke - vape instead), so I didn't even have to buy new batteries, I already had a plentiful supply. The 18650 battery is a powerful battery that keeps this flashlight going for awhile. The batteries are inexpensive, so get a couple of them and bring them along on your next outing. Again, I can't recommend this flashlight enough. No need to purchase a few to find that they don't meet your needs. Get this one and never look back.
