Regarding the new LD series CLIP.
Here some info from 4sevens:

LD10 and LD20 - now with clips!
Fenix is now producing their LD10 and LD20 models with attachable pocket clips! These pocket clips are steel coating with titanium. The clipped versions of these models are replacing the "old" clipless models on our store, and we are denoting the upgrade with a + after the name: LD10+ and LD20+
These clips are only compatible with the new + models, as Fenix has redesigned the body to give them a good fit. Also, the new + bodies are not reverse-compatible with the old LD10 and LD20 models.
So, no info on existing owners of LD series about the clip and we won't be getting any for free. I'm very
dissapointed with their marketing strategy on this. They should protect investments of LD series owners by having the new body+clip compatible with the current LD series. So current owners can purchase the upgrade with a lower price, instead of forcing to buy a whole new flashlight, with the
same LED technology, same circuit, same specs. You are paying the same price for another LD10/20 you owned for knurling and clip - That's it. I may also think they might make more sale for selling upgrades to protect customer's investment than just selling a whole new flashlight. But of course it will interest new buyers.
I don't doubt their quality though. I have Fenix flashlights but this idea is kinda ridiculous man...

Hi Damonlbs, too bad the LD10 does not support the 14500 Lithium well ( will lose the low mode like P2D) or else it is a good choice.
Btw, I notice the Quark HA-III finishing is quite easily chip off. I had 2 drop test (haha aka accidentally drop), my 123^2 got several chip. 3 Very large in near the lens, 1 at the tail

. Not sure is only mine or what. the 1st drop test (erhmm) was very light/gentle, but still got a chip in the side of the body. My fenix survive these kind of test without a scratch, but not this 123^2.
Anyway, it is a very good light, the light still work perfectly, i love the warm tint, and the moon-mood suit be perfectly at night.
My QAA so far still perfect, table drop only and been my EDC since. But will expect some chips, sure to kena one. You might have dropped it with a little force? on rough "terrain"?
