Fenix LD31 RENEGADE Flashlight

Excellent Camping Illuminator

I purchased this LD31 to accompany me on our 8 day, 7 night camping/hiking excursion in the Canadian Rockies from Banff to the Jasper mountain regions. An extra compatible 21700 battery was included. The two batteries greatly helped keep our cell phones charged! Extra illumination available in the LD31 was meant to help deter a bear at night at close range should that arise. The LD31 provided lighting for nighttime bathroom runs in campgrounds using the lowest power. We also hung the unit by its clip to provided loops in the tent with diffuser for preparation to sleep. I highly recommend this product!

I am very impressed by the beam's brightness and width. I also own a near-equivalent Olight model, however, and would suggest Fenix incorporate a tail switch that includes a double-click to access turbo-mode, and a side switch that also operates On-Off. I would also suggest a larger side switch button.

Great for the trails

I bought a handlebar flashlight mount and I use this light for mountain biking. It lights up the whole trail in front of me. I like to spare battery in case my night rides last a bit longer. I know that I can keep going.
