    I have a number of Fenix lights, and have always been impressed with their build quality and dependability. I've on-person EDCed the E15, the TK15, and the TK22.

    I keep the E40 in my car.

    Not pictured, above, is this E15 2016 Edition.

    The E15 2016 is on the far left, here. Runs on a 16340 battery. Superb light, for the money, and size.

    Took a look at the site you mentioned, and didn't really see any lights that would interest me - probably because I'm more into neutral and warmer tints, for most of my uses (though I still have a ton of cool white lights. They just don't see a lot of use, any more).

    The prices on all three of the Fenix lights I found there, while appearing to be discounted, aren't really any lower than you would find at the Fenix Store website, or others. The selection isn't that great, either.

    Fenix make a huge selection of lights from which to choose, and in all price ranges, and sizes.

    One of my favorites to EDC (in a pack) is their PD40 (fourth from the left, in the top picture), which is a 26650-based flood light,with a really nice, neutral MT-G2 tint. Killer light.

    The free shipping is a nice touch, but generally, lights this small have very inexpensive shipping, and if you spend more than $xx.xx (usually 40 or 50 bucks), shipping is free anyway.

    You can find a ton of discussion on their lights, here:

    Thanks for sharing the link, though.

    Gonna check out their knives :)

    Huge fan of Fenix Flashlights. My Duty Light is a TK22 (not shown). PD35 as backup

    Love your setup. Very nicely done!

    I've had my TK15 and TK22 for quite a while, and they're, pretty much, tanks.

    Every time I see pictures of lined cases for lights storage, i want to convert some of my Anvil briefcases. I've used these, over the years, when I've done sound jobs, or played gigs; but right now, they'd be more practical for my lights - and I would always trade out the foam filling for other stuff, as needed.

    Here's an older picture, but it's in color :)

    Three lights missing from this shot: This was before I purchased the TK51 and the E15 2016 Edition.

    TK51

    This is a very strange beast. It has two separate reflectors, and they run on two separate switches. The master switch runs both of them simultaneously, though.

    PD40 (the only 26650 light I own of theirs). Still EDCing that one, in my pack.

    I prefer Fenix than other brands also. It is a bit expensive, yet powerful and rugged.

    One thing is that their warranty is decent. Make sure to keep your receipt - their coverage for removable battery lights is 5 years.

    What do you mean by removable battery lights?

    He means any of the lights that aren't sealed up where you can't remove the battery from them. Lights with the removable batteries would be ones that take AA, AAA, CR123, 18650, 26650. Honestly, most all of their lights fall into this category with just a few exceptions so he's basically saying that most all of their lights will have the warranty.

    I was thinking that's what he meant. But the thing he is saying about them only having a 5 year warranty isn't right. It might have been before but now it is a lifetime warranty.

    The URL I was quoting from is http://www.fenixlight.com/Service.aspx It says it applies to lights purchased after Jan 2015. The warranty covers free repairs for 5 years, the lifetime part is that they will repair, but charge for parts.

    My meager collection, The TK20R stays by the nightstand until called upon for camping and fishing trips, The PD35 is downstairs in the living room and is my primary flashlight for when I'm assigned to nightshift at work. THe PD32 stays in my vehicle. Missing from the photo is an LD12 which is my back-up at work.

    Love my 2 Fenix! ;) Purchased the LD50 four years ago, use it almost everyday at work and never had a single problem. What I like the most is the side-by-side reflector with separate circuit design, makes it usable even when one of the LEDs is not powered, like having 2 flashlights in one. I also purchased the RC11 with magnetic charging, this one is always on my belt.

    The LD30 is wonderful. Small , bright and long lasting . I would say the LD30 and PD36R are my most favorite lights.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    My first Fenix was a E20 impulse buy on Battery Junction for AA lights.
