Fenix has done it again.
Fenix in my opinion is one of if not the best flashlight companies in the world as of my writing this. I now own a fenix E01 (1aaa cell light), Fenix LD20, and now the L1T v.2. All three are of incredibly high quality and surely will last a lifetime. Even as LED lights continue to get better these lights will never not be useful.
I have a LD20 with it's multiple output modes and it is ergonomic and awesome, but I wanted a better light for carrying around in my pocket or coat. I though about an LD10 which I know from reviews is basically a smaller LD20. Sounds great, but I chose the L1T over the LD10 for several reason: (keep in mind both are 1aa lights)
-More simplicity -- fewer modes of output
-Slightly smaller
-Weighs less
-Cheaper
-No clip (I actually don't like the clips on the "newer" LD10 and LD20
-More round (i.e. fits hand well--I haven't actually held the LD10 though so this could be up in the air)
I thought about ergonomics and just from looking at both lights I thought I would like this one better. The only things I don't like about the light or at least things that could be improved are:
-can't stand on tail like a candle
-needs a little more knurling for grip (still feels great in hand though-- could just be better)
-the lanyard hole is kind of hard to put a lanyard though (not an issue because I don't plan on using one with this light)
If you own a LD20 then I can tell you the high mode on this light is just slightly less bright than the "high" mode on that light. And it may vary, but the tint is slightly less warm than the LD20. Oh and 15 hours on low is amazing--yeah I know the LD10 is better, but if you poo poo 15 hours on one aa light you are an idiot either way :) . Low mode is about as bright as a streamlight micro or streamlight stylus pro.
Overall I would rate this light 9.5 out of 10. I think for any product to be 10/10 it almost inherently has to be custom. A company can't satisfy everybody completely, but this light is pretty darn close to perfect considering technology at this point in time.Get more detail about Fenix L1T 2 Level High Performance Cree LED Flashlight.
