The Fenix P1D maxed out at 135 lumens (even if only for an hour) out of a single CR123A battery! Standard mode of 72 lumens is still nearly twice the Surefire E1L I currently carry.
The P1D appears to have MUCH more output as well as more versatility out of a smaller package. Will definitely be giving it a try!
Thanks for the review!
I have the P1D CE with the new Cree LED, all I can say is AWESOME. At half the size of my e2e and more then twice the lumens it beats the Surefire hands down. However, for "tactical" purposes is too small and doesn't have a momentary switch. This is may new EDC attached to the key ring, the e2e was relegated to nightstand duty.
In the beginning I wasn't too fond of LED lights, I have a Streamlight TLR-1 and I wasn't impressed. With the new Cree LED's thou things have changed, so much better output. I would still use an incandescent light for outdoors, thus I have a M2 Millennium attached to the AR.
For everyone interested there is a great website with flashlight reviews: http://flashlightreviews.com/.
