Tactical Light Demos: Fenix P3D vs SureFire E2D vs TL2
A revolution has occurred in tactical lighting products. If you thought or still think the Maglite is the best flashlight made, or even a SureFire, Blackhawk, or Pentagon light (all good but way $$$), you are way behind the times dude. Things have changed: there some amazingly high-value, high quality flashlights in nowadays that could re-define what you think a flashlight can do. And this revolution will probably continue to evolve and improve as time goes on with even different brands vying for the "best light" title. These days lighting technology is akin to computer technology, with new generations quickly outpacing and obsolescing older technology. But fret not and dont think you have to wait for even better lights. Thats because right now the Fenix brand is producing amazingly capable lights for around $50. Nowadays the Fenix company is offering overseas-produced, ultra-high quality CREE-brand LED lights with amazing output and duration. Moreover these lights are digitally regulated to ensure consistent output despite a varying output battery, theyre lightweight, waterproof, tough, and have a host various output modes. In the Fenix P3DQ model, you can select from multiple brightness levels uses the rear mounted switch and a slight rotation of the bezels. A bright strobe mode is included (shown in the video). In this night time demo in the quiet desert, I pit the P3D against the Surefire E2D and the Streamlight TL2. The P3D pretty much owned the others. **** Look for Nutnfancys table top reviews of these excellent lights in the future which will include his Philosophy of Use (PoU). Fenix lights were purchased from Yourcornerstore.com (excellent source) for around $50 each.
