hmm i just have some affordable Fenix...my EDC are LD01 and E15.
also got a TK09 if i want quite a bit more power.

E15 is good, but the twist to change modes is about double the range of motion compared to my LD01.
both pros and cons la, E15 brighter, LD01 got dimmer mode...E15 also cheaper, but also uses CR123.

i also looked at PD35 before deciding on TK09.
since TK is tactical, first mode is high which is what i want...has a tail switch which is easier to operate...plus has a longer throw.
also the memory mode of PD35 i find irritating.

this was my EDC when i went outstation a couple months ago

the lights are fenix tk09 and fenix e15 on the keychain.


now my keychain is a lighter setup with the fenix ld01.

that one still glowing fine after about 2-3 yrs so far.
i had a blue one bought same time, that one dunno how died...so i just bought a yellow one to replace it.

i just bought a nitecore EA11.
this thing is amazing with 14500, throw distance is just as good as my fenix tk09.
only reason why im still keeping the tk09 cos its a tactical light.

but my zebralight sc52 is in danger of being flipped soon.
then again it does have advantages of being smaller and lighter, and very good moonlight mode.
EA11 only 1 lumen lowest, but it makes up for it with a red led that is as good as having a moonlight mode.
hmm...decisions

damn that SC5 sounds nice, 500L and it doesnt even need to use 14500.
but i already got SC52 and a few 14500s, so no point for me changing


as the above mentioned, the nitecore EA11 is a good choice...i got one of those also.
else if for fenix, i would choose the LD11.

these are currently my 'pocket' lights.

the LD01 is on my keychain most of the time, if i need more output then the fenix E15 replaces it.


the SC52 is only used nowadays to add more light to pics cos of its warm output
the EA11 meanwhile has amazing throw for just a single AA - well 14500 - comparable to those that use 2xcr123, no thanks to its 900 lumen output...only drawback is its 30min life at that output.

u want flood? fenix e05, but its AAA.

u want to use in what situation?
in pitch black, even 10 lumens is very bright.

else u buy one of the previous mentioned models and put on a diffuser.

if that rm220 is from gadgetworld, that means ur only choice is sc52 cool white.
the sc52w long time no stock, dont think they going to restock also.
wanna buy now also other ppl selling rm300++.

ya, thats what i told him...put a diffuser on.
plus no idea what his usage is for also.
if want to flood also zebralight just ok only, from 2m distance maybe the beam about 2m wide with mostly hotspot.
while my tk09 with diffuser can flood much better.

the ea11 also floods just as well as the sc52, but with a tighter hotspot...but of cos thats at nearer normal walking distances.
when go to 20-50m out, the sc52 has a very obvious much wider beam...
while the ea11 can still light up stuff up to 100m or more away with stated specs of throw up to 190m...
the sc52 doesnt reach that far...if not mistaken its max throw only around 90m? at that range its just barely picking up much...let alone light stuff up.

anyway, the day nitecore releases an ea11 or similar with warm / neutral led...is when i will sell off my sc52...til then i'll just keep both

nitecore has diffuser to fit ea11.
for zebralight not much room to fit diffuser properly if u actually look at how close the button is to the edge already.

im using 14500 in both my EA11 and SC52.
but anyway, this is with the eneloop white.

so both on max - EA11 @ 160L on left, SC52W @ 280L.
wall is 1.5m away.

EA11 looks about the same at that distance, as it has a slightly bigger and deeper reflector even tho it loses out on the lumens battle.



and just for fun.
TK09 @ 450L on left, SC52W @ 500L.
here u can already tell the TK09 is going to out-throw the SC52W.

last time i bought a pasar malam led was around 7-8yrs ago...one of those fake 'police' branded ones...1xAA and around 10 lumens...but its still working and basically just sits in my car.
another one is those 3xAAA with 5 diff modes with laser/uv/green/etc...that one the white led puts out roughly 50 lumens

potong stim la u.
so when is that cheapo one arriving? wonder how it performs

i think i have that lifegear torch in the 2nd pic there.
it sux so bad as a light...cheap plastic lens and the reflector really sux...concentrates what appears to be only around 10 lumens into a tight spot with very little throw...kinda useless for an outdoor night time light.
only kinda redeeming factor is the red light flasher / beacon mode so maybe u can use it as a marker or something...
so yea, dont waste ur money on it

today i bought this...

see the post below u, above this to find danny.

kinda funny the uncle at gadgetworld refuses to tell where he is

i would choose any 4xaa light, can get from rm200-250.
then remainder just buy batts + charger.
some of those available locally...
thrunite tn4a
jetbeam sra40
nitecore ea4
fenix e41

cos u sell it rightttt...
but i think the jetbeam still throws the furthest amongst the 4xaa crowd.
thrunite tho got advantage with having proper low mode.
