Sorry Tom, since I posted that last June I found something better and cheaper. Simply speaking the Maratac blows away my LOD.

When I whipped the light out in Yosemite last week my friend couldn't believe how bright it was. The fit and finish seem to be on par with the Fenix.

These little LED lights are like computers lately. Wait a few months and something better/cheaper will come out. I'm not surprised to hear that the LOD has already been DC'd and replaced by the LD01. That light may be better than the Maratac but it costs almost twice as much.

We've come a long way from the old incandescent Minimag.

Edit.....just tried to edit the change in my post above but it looks like the edit feature has a time limit. DOH!!
