Usage and Maintenance
- Disassembling the sealed head can cause damage to the light and will void the warranty.
- Fenix strongly recommends using high-performance Ni-MH rechargeable batteries to get most out of this flashlight. Alkaline batteries will reduce the runtime significantly.
- Fenix recommends using excellent quality battery. If the flashlight will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery, or the flashlight could be damaged by electrolyte leakage or battery explosion.
- Unscrew the tail cap one-half turn or take out the battery to prevent accidental activation during storage or transport.
- Long-term use can result in O-ring wear. To maintain a proper water seal, replace the ring with an approved spare.
- Periodic cleaning of the battery contacts improves the light’s performance as dirty contacts may cause the flashlight flicker, shine intermittently or even fail to illuminate for the following reasons:
Reason A: The batteries need replacing.
Solution: Replace batteries (Please confirm the correct installation of anode and cathode).
Reason B: The threads, PCB board contact or other contacts are dirty.
Solution: Clean the contact points with a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol.
If the above methods don’t work, please refer to the warranty policy before contacting your authorized distributor.

I chose the LD22 firstly because of the dual modes. It’s mode select function is the same as the TOP SELLING Fenix PD35-Tac. The versatility in modes allow the LD22 to be an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor use. I have used it indoors late at night to get from room to room with disturbing anyone. The metal side switch is whisper quiet when adjusting brightness levels. When used as a walk light when I go out at night; it had enough throw to allow me to see into my surroundings. To have 300 lumens coming from 2 AA batteries in such a lightweight flashlight is a big plus. Anyone in the market for a small footprint, lightweight flashlight for indoor (nearfield) or outdoor use should consider the Fenix LD22. Hats off to Fenix for putting out this top-shelf light !

This is the best flashlight I’ve ever owned. I’ve only had Maglite’s in the past and this little light is fantastic. It’s bright, feels well built, and I like the tailswitch/side switch combination.

This flashlight replaced my streamlight that I used for a few years. The Fenix is a superior light!
