I'm looking for a "tactical" AA light, something to keep by the bed. The other 4xAA lights all look a bit clumsy and fragile. I have zero experience with Fenix lights. What's the toughness factor of the LD41?
I don't care about cost, I want build quality and a momentary turbo.
Oops, did I ask an un-ask-able?
Not trying to start anything, really and for true. :shakehead
To me there is no tactical AA flashligh, 18650 and CR123 lights out powers it in brightness, and are also smaller and lighter and more practical.
TACTICAL tirm is the bunch of features in the flashlight which are reference to the job one is practicing, tactical for someone might not be enough for others, for example Police men have different needs than Military special forces.
I said LD41 is the only SEMI tactical 4AA flashlight i know of, by that i mean it has some tactical features like momentary tail swich, and good hand grip ( i don't know any other 4AA flashlight that has that ), but that does not make it a tactical light, you can find more tactical flashlights among the 18650 and CR123 flashlights.
And to say the other 4AA lights are FRAGILE !!, i would be surprised if you can find a fragile flashlight among any of the respectable brands.
About the toughness of LD41 is very good as every one else have said, but for indoor use (by the bed) i find it a little big and heavy for that, smaller 2AA which are also bright and tough and has momentary turbo and available in almost every brand might be better for you, but again if you like the size and wight of LD41 -like i do- then why not it is a very good light, the only thing about it that bothers me is that it lacks a deep reflector for more throw.
