LD02 Fenix Flashlight

Seems like a very good light. I’ve had the Streamlight single AAA light, also a good light, but the old ones were better than those I’ve bought recently and thought I’d try these from Fenix. So far very satisfied.

I’m not dressed until I have my LD02 ( version 1) in my pocket, clipped to a Leatherman Squirt – so many daily problems are handled by this combination. I was not happy to see the “new” LD02 V2 replace this version in all the usual sources – the Version 2 is longer, dimmer, in my opinion uglier, and has a useless extra UV LED. Enough light for searching the back yard if needed, or looking under a couch for a dropped item – so very handy when changing cables at the back of the TV stand! Quite reliable, I change the battery in it out of habit and less out of need. I agree the low mode could usefully have been lower, but for a simple 3-mode light the settings chosen are perfectly fine – it will run for many hours at 8 lumens, more than I’d ever need. If I plan out being out in the dark all night, I’ll bring a light with more capacity – this is the one I have when no-one else thought to bring a flashlight.

Typical Fenix quality and performance, this is my 6th Fenix flashlight, never been disappointed

The LD02 is, as far as I know, the tiniest and most effective torch for short-range lighting needs. I particularly love it. It came as a surprise that a retail camping shop had it and also its “competitor”, the LD12, boasting 320 lumens. However, the LD02 fits in the pocket easily. I bought them both within weeks.
When nighttime comes, the domestic adventure begins. Sometimes, late-evening watering for my garden is a must, so I carry the LD02 with me to check un-watered areas or check if the geranium and its accompanying plants get fully watered. If I go out to the yard with the pajama short on, I clip the torch on to it, as it has no pockets. If the greyish cat is with me, I track his whereabouts with the tiny torch. He blinks a bit at first, but doesn´t show dislike. I also check if, by evening time, a strange object has been thrown to my backyard from the street (I have a shortish wall). Objects can range from nylons, cookies packs, plastic bottles, beer cans to objects so undecipherable that they might be from outer space! A few days ago, I found something like a bitten apple, but I´m still not sure what it really was. Anyway, I throw them back to the pavement, just in case they can be harmful to my cats. When my cat spots and pries on something on the ground, I turn on my LD02, only to discover it`s a critter (like a badly injured bumblebee) or a varmint. Sometimes they keep staring at the ivy, so I turn on the torch in case I spot a rat clinging behind it. Every time they get too focused on something on the ground, I close in and check.
When late night comes it`s time to get my roan cat back to the house. I turn on my LD02 and aim at the adjoining wall (10 mt away) to see if he`s standing there. If he notices he`s being lighted, he usually climbs down. If he has crossed the street, then I turn to my other model, the focusable FD41 and aim from my door to the opposite shrub, he`s usually behind it! His eyes reveal him. If he`s not there, it´s my Fenix torch that tells me, and I search somewhere else.
Sometimes the final chapter of the LD02 adventure begins close to sleeping time at 3 am. If I have to go to the WC, I tiptoe with my LD02 on low setting in order to go unnoticed by my family. As a bonus, I go to the windowed door and lights my yard, only to find it deserted or with my white cat sitting somewhere there. A very recommendable pocket torch. If it was for me, I really wish nighttime never ends.

Great light but the clip failed and lost it within a week. Unfortunate that it’s discontinued though, I would have bought another.

Good carry light. Fits in my pocket and you barely know its there until you need a light. Wish it had a focusable beam

Great pocket light!! Love it. Amazingly solid and versatile for a small light.

I keep this light in my pocket, it is basically the same size as my chapstick. It is reliable, and incredibly useful. There are so many times during the day that I use this. Having three lighting levels in such a small package increases the usefulness immensely. I have a second one as a spare…

I have had tk22,pd35,pd32,uc40,ld01,and now the LD02 is my edc ,it’s a perfect size and weight with three levels of useful light. I work on cars , do stereo installation and many other jobs that always require extra light , my LD02 is perfect for most situations it’s waterproof , run times are strong tail switch works great and it’s tough , I have dropped it run it over with my car and it’s fallen in the toilet and yes I fished it out washed it and it’s still going strong ! Thankyou fenix!

I’ve tried several AAA flashlights and this is the best yet; I have carried it in my front jeans pocket every day for over a year. Things I like: -It always starts at medium brightness, then cycles to low, then bright. You always know what to expect when turning on. Perfect! -The switch in the tail so you can turn on with one hand; no two-handed twisting. Things to improve: -The light would initially turn on in my pocket by accident since the switch protrudes. Please inset the switch.. this would also allow the light to balance on it’s tail which it now does not do. I solved this by tightly fitting about 3/4 inch of tubing over the end of the light. This protect the switch and also allows me to hold the light with my teeth in a pinch -The clip is too sharp on the end where it protrudes (scratches your hand when reaching for the light in a pocket) and is mounted backwards; turning it around would allow for the light to clip to a ball cap and increase its usefulness. I solved this by using a clip from a different light I had laying around. Nice to have wish… it would be nice to have some way to know when the battery is about used up. But having said all this, I do recommend this light.
