We found the best reviews of the Fenix P2D-CE flashlight at four flashlight enthusiast sites, where experts put flashlights through highly technical tests as well as evaluate each model for ease of use. FlashlightReviews.com recommends top picks for various uses, while Craig Johnson at LEDMuseum.org subjects each flashlight to abusive punishments to test durability. Editors at CPFReviews.com provide detailed ratings and comparison charts, and a review at Candlepower Forums compares the Fenix P2D-CE with other Fenix flashlights. Owner-written reviews at Amazon.com are also useful, comparing the Fenix P2D-CE with flashlights from other brands.
Reviews say the 3.25-inch Fenix P2D-CE is the best "everyday carry" flashlight for a purse, glove compartment or backpack. You can adjust the LED brightness among four levels, and a voltage regulator keeps light consistent as the single CR123A lithium-ion battery fades. Emergency modes include an SOS signal plus a strobe light. The Fenix P2D-CE offers plenty of run time for everyday use - up to 30 hours at the lowest brightness setting - and can stand upright on its tail so you don't have to hold it. It's waterproof and shock-resistant, with a lifetime warranty. If you need a pocket flashlight but don't need this much light, reviews also recommend the tiny Photon Micro-Light Freedom flashlight (*est. $20), which costs far less.
