Fenix E12 v2 160 Lumen Compact 1xAA EDC Flashlight with LumenTac Battery Organizer

The quality of the product is not good

It's small, it's bright and it's built like a tank. It uses one AA battery so there's no need for unusual batteries and the battery life is longer than with similar-sized lights that depend upon a AAA battery for power. The price is reasonable and the quality is excellent. Fenix doesn't seem to be able to make a bad flashlight, and they didn't make one with this one.

One of the smallest and brightest of the Fenix line. I have owned Fenix LED flashlights for over a decade.This one fits nicely on both my house keys and car key chain. I like the fact that it's power comes from a easy to get AA battery, unlike the newer models what need to be recharged. I myself own both types with the more powerful units being rechargeable. This has three brightness settings, is fairly small, and very durable.This is very handy whether looking for something, like in a dark theater, under the bed, inside the car, walking on a dark road or even looking around a parking lot. A must have safety device in my opinion.

Haven't had it long enough to evaluate battery life or durability but the size is perfect as a pocket flashlight, also for a messenger bag or similar. The light is bright enough to illuminate a poorly lit walkway from where I park for work to the door, even at a low or medium setting. I didn't buy this as a 'tactical' flashlight but after a couple of events years ago when I needed a flashlight but didn't have one, always carry a flashlight now; when you need it, you need it.

I was a fan of the 1.0 version of this light, and was frankly irritated when Fenix replaced it with this model. After not being able to find the previous version to buy online, I reluctantly picked up this one. While this model isn't quite as sturdily built as the last generation, it remains a fantastic little light. It's quite bright, reliable, and light weight, with a very handy size and the perfect power format in my opinion - one AA battery. Battery life is nothing short of incredible, and it outperforms the previous generation. I tested mine with an Amazon brand green rechargeable AA (the eneloop clone) on low mode, and ran the light continuously to see how long it would last. After 80 hours, I finally got bored checking on it and turned it off. Fantastic. Twenty years ago you couldn't have bought a flashlight this good at any price. Recommended.

4.5.Stars. Light is easy to use low/med/high in just a few taps. AA battery is the feature that I wanted most didn’t like buying CR123 anymore.Pocket clip could be better, I left mine on only incase I have to mount it to a hat or something.A simple pocket clip on a small split ring is what I use.(see photo) Keeps the light out of the way and not at the bottom of my pocket.
