E12 V2.0 is Like a Mini PD36R With Mini Purpose

Ambassador Cody D.

I don’t know why, but I like this light, I really like this light. It’s essentially a mini PD36R – arguably the best all around light Fenix has right now, but….. I usually have an E35 V3.0 or PD36R on me. I have an E02R on my key chain, and an E01 V2.0 and HM61R in my truck. I also have an HT18, and LR35R by my bed. (I am a normal person) The problem is I don’t have a use for this light. I have used the light and I really like it. It’s bright, easy to use, impressive, dare I say cute, double pocket clip is awesome, Unfortunately it hasn’t fit in yet nor have I found a use yet. If you don’t have any other light the E12 V2.0 is a great option, but for me its too big to fit in my pocket with my keys. It’s not bright enough to replace my daily carry, I even prefer AA batteries to AAA because of the amount of power they use, but that still didn’t get this light into a useful position in my line up.

Just be to clear I love the tail switch vs a rotary head, I love the pocket clip, I love the use of the AA instead of the AAA battery, I love the light pattern which is wide and perfectly diffused, for the size I love the 160 lumens, I love the quality, and I still can’t use it. This is a great light to put somewhere for a power outage and just leave it there until you need it.

If I rated this light with a star rating system it would be 5 stars. Just because I don’t have a use for this light doesn’t make it a bad light.
