Yeah, I didn't think my post was worthy of a new thread, so I piggybacked off of yours.

I feel like I have reached a new status on the forum...piggy backing onto my threads...I feel like a salty CO AR15 Veteran.

Awesome!

Don't get too uppity.

I have a Fenix L2D (2 AAs) that has lasted many years. Talked to a Fenix rep. about why they discontinued that model. He could not give me a good reason.

And there I am taken back down several notches

And I would point out that I have several Fenix flashlights, I carry in gear and what not. I have one that I use on patrol for a backup if my streamlight goes out (because I forgot to charge it). I like them and as always one of the biggest selling factors for me, besides their lower cost, is the usage of regular batteries and not CR123 which tend to be expensive and sometimes a pain to find.

This is the big seller for me. I've got a single CR123 Streamlight, which is a nice light, but damn the batteries are expensive! My Fenix LD10 takes one AA, and is nearly as bright as the Streamlight, and much cheaper to run.

Agreed. I used to carry flashlights on my duty gear that required the CR123 batteries. My last agency sometimes would have piles of them in the battery bin since all of the department rifles had flashlights that used that battery. At my current agency we are required to supply all of our own batteries for all of our personal equipment. So there are a lot more rechargeable batteries being used. For me, I try to remember to charge my streamlight, but if I use it a lot and forget it's nice to have a fairly bright back up light that uses less expensive and common batteries. And since it's mine I often throw rechargeable AA batteries in it that I recharge at home.

The repost Gods smile favorably upon you.

To make a useful post: Does anyone have experience with the Fenix LD9? I like the idea of only using a single common alkaline battery, and I don't necessarily need 1000000000 lumens for everything.
