I went to the MEC swap today which is a Canadian chain of outdoor stores which sells off their returned items once or twice a year. Normally there are seam or zipper issues with clothing or breaks on gear but sometimes it is just customer satisfaction issues.
So I got a Fenix E25 for $15 that retails for $41 plus tax in their store. The tag said, "Brand new, just needs new batteries".
Now I have two other Fenix lights from a pawn shop so here is a rundown on all three now.
Fenix LD02: a single AAA flashlight (I love single cell lights) that has three brighness settings and really floods a room with no spot issues. Small and light, no reason not to carry one.
Fenix E12: a single AA flashlight, basically a AA version of the above except> the end button is ressesed, goes from low/med/high while the LD02 oddly goes from med/high/low, and this one has a wrist lanyard rather than the aboves pocket clip. A great light that is a bit bigger due to the AA cell.
Fenix E25: along with using 2 AA it differs in many ways from the above two. This is a longer reaching spot light that is not as good at close room filling light as the 2 above, It also has a more traditional side button switch which takes getting used to after all the tactical end cap lights I am used to. It has a longer reflector which gives it the spot light effect with a more dim light outside of the spot. It is quite longer and heavier than the 2 above, more of a jacket light than a shirt/pants pocket light. 3 settings plus a burst mode that doubles the 130 Lumins to 260 when needed. I have to compare this outdoors to the others but it won't be an EDC around the house/work light.
Overall, when checking the specs, as we go up in battery size we also get an increase in throw and battery life.
