Incredible August 27, 2010

When I received this flashlight, I thought WTF, this tiny thing costs 35 dollars!? But just put a AAA battery in and turn it on, wow, it's 10 times brighter than my regular flashlight using 4 D batteries. And the batteries last much longer. Then I compared it with my friends' led flashlights of the other brand names, this one is much brighter. It's well worth the 35 dollars.

This flashlight is great, it's small enough to fit into a pocket but powerful enough to help you see in the dark.

I don't know how long I've owned this little flashlight, but it's been at least a year, probably closer to two. It goes with me everywhere and I love it. So much so that when I left it at the PDX airport screening area, I went to the trouble to recover it on my way back from my trip.
Yes, it's very bright, but it's even brighter when you run it with a 3.7v AAA rechargeable battery. I've been running the 3.7v battery for as long as I've owned it with no issues and no reliability problems. You want to talk about being bright! It's way brighter than any Maglite or any other standard multi-cell flashlight I've owned.
It may be alittle expensive for a pocket flashlight, but it is worth every penny! October 25, 2009

I work as an electron microscopist. The nature of my job requires me to work in the dark very often, so I have to carry a flashlight. I've heard alot of good about LED flashlights long ago but just couldn't convince myself to spend so much on a flashlight... So I've been regular bulbs for sometime until recently where I was sick and tired of their poor and unreliable performance (not bright or durable enough).
Finally I bit the bullet and bought the Fenix LOD5. Boy... I have to say I've missed out so much for not using a high-quality LED flashlight! It uses only 1 AAA battery but is WAY brighter and consumes less power than regular flashlights of the same size. Furthermore, the body is made of high-quality anodized aluminum and pretty scratch-resistant.
I've used it for couple of months now and I'm still running on the first battery and the body is still scratch-free! So for those people who are sick of the flaky performance of regular flashlights, go for this one! It is definitely worth every penny!
A time honored champ--recently replaced by the LD01, but still GREAT! September 30, 2009

True, for a small sized light you can go with one of those diamond shaped squeeze lights. Actually, the Photon Freedom is a very nice one with several useful functions in it (the most useful being a variable output control). But if you want a real substantial and capable light that you can still put in your pocket, you won't find anything to match the Fenix L0D for the price.
I've owned mine for two years now and it is still going strong. It is basically the same light as the new Fenix LD01 but with a slightly lesser emitter--the Q4 vs. the Q5. I can tuck it in my pants or jacket pocket and not feel substantial bulk. And when I need to use it, the Fenix L0D provides the following useful modes: medium (25 Lumens @ 3.5hrs), low (9 Lumens @ 8.5hrs), high (75 lumens @ 1 hr), strobe, and SOS. Medium is the most commonly used one, so it is provided first. Selection is achieved by rotating the light on/off positions, and will cycle sequentially through the settings until you've shut off the light for 2+ seconds (which then delivers medium (1st) setting again when you turn it on).
One other nice feature you might not really appreciate until you try to use it is standing it on its end (tail standing). Although I have a lanyard attached using a small circle clip, there is a groove in the end that allows the clip to sit recessed so that you can still tail stand the light. It's very useful, especially if you need both hands free. On low mode, it's like having an electric candle. It's hard to find this feature in a light this small--most vendors provide rounded ends (like MAG lite).
There is a slight residual drain of the battery over time, so if you don't plan on using it for a long while you should remove the battery. But if you're a flashaholic, it would be heresy to do so.
I EDC (every day carry) mine wherever I go, finding a frequent use for it: movie theaters, walking around at night, dimly lit stores, restaurants (so you can see the menu when lighting is poor), etc.
The one unfortunate change with the new LD01 over the L0D is that it does not have strobe or SOS. I could do without the SOS, but I find the strobe handy at times (like catching someone's attention or parting my way through a saturated crowd). The brightness and runtimes are nearly identical, so I'd say go with an L0D if you can find one. If not, the LD01 is a great light nonetheless.
If there's one improvement I do like about the LD01, is a reduction of flicker (PWM) on the LOW setting (it's not a problem on medium or high). This was likely a limitation of the CREE LED Q4 used on the L0D. It is reported not to be as noticeable on the LD01. In any case, you won't really notice flicker unless you move the light a lot or move your eyes from side to side a lot. Another would be to have a protective bezel. I've dropped my light a few times and have a couple of tiny nicks on the rim.
Some of the cheaper Chinese light vendors sold through websites like Deal Extreme offer similar lights, but none really match the functionality and quality of the LD01/L0D. Believe me, I wasted some money buying some of those others and can tell you it's not worth it. Pay a little more and get the L0D. You won't regret it!
