I have had great service from the Fenix lights I have bought. I get AA powered so everything works on same size battery.
Favorite is the Fenix E12. Powered by one AA and so small it disappears in your pocket. I have another Fenix that takes four AA's that is ten times brighter. All of the Fenix lights have variable brightness.
