...I ordered a L1D CE Q5 (my first fenix!). Did I make a mistake? Should I have got the L2D instead? The performance seemed to be the same (except for turbo), with advertised run times for the 1D about half of those for the 2D. I could still get the longer body.... I thought shorter would be a bit more stable standing on its tail...and I have a bunch of lights that are the length of 2AA but no shorter ones.
I think you'll be happy with the L1D. I prefer the shorter lights even if it means a slight decrease in runtime and output. I usually pocket carry my lights so I like single cell lights. You may find after you get it you may want more. Have fun!
