When are you gonna get your wife a P1D? My girlfriend loves hers! Oh hell you can order a P1D and a TK20 and both be happy!
Happy as long as she doesn't know what I paid for them.
I may just do that! She works second shift and gets off at 11:00PM, a new flashlight that's really bright might be good for her to have. The other night I waited up to walk her to the door from her car, one of those nice little black & white striped kittys was in the yard earlier.
Yah it comes with one of them lobster claw clasps so she can put it on key chain or clip to belt loop or whatever. It frigging lasts a long time on one battery.

I think you may have been referring to laptop computer batteries. One of the great benefits of CR123 batteries is they have a shelf life of 10+ years; another is that they put out the same voltage in sub zero temperatures. If you don't like CR123's then Fenix also sells lights for AA batteries. I'm no yuppie either - I just look for quality at an affordable price. LOL It wouldn't work clipping a MagLight with a couple "D" cells on my cap brim to walk through brush at night.
Try it - you'll never look back!

Hey Sax
Get one of these and you'll be a happy well lit dude at night! I just got one and it is my brightest light. Wide even well illuminated beam! AA cells....
I have Surefires also and a couple of my Fenix's take CR123 batteries so I get CR123's from the Surefire website. They are as good as them ones you pay a fortune for at Lowes, Radio Shack, etc.
If yah wanna spend some bucks here's a really handy little light. I clip it to hat brim when need hands free light. Of course me and my buddy are light freaks! LOL
Hey Bob it does throw a concentrated beam far no kidding it really does..but thats cool buddy I just wanted you to know it is a great flashlight and I know you know I would not pull your leg...It will impress you!.If you get a chance try one or not no big deal..take care friend
All I can say is I was so impressed with my L2T that I just ordered an L1T this evening.
I find a small flashlight very handy for both work (plumbing = a lot of work inside cabinets & crawlspaces) and play (hunting & fishing), so I don't mind spending a few $$$$ for quality. These lights fit my needs pretty well with the simple 2 intensity function (I don't really need 6 light levels) and the AA batteries are something I already have plenty of (rechargable Ni-MH) on hand.
I also like a small "headlight" (Petzl "Zipka Plus") with a built in cord & retractor instead of a bulky headband to hold it in place. With a good flashlight & the headlight I can do 90% of my repair jobs without having to fool around with stringing cords for 110V electric lights. And for hunting & fishing the 110V lights aren't an option.
OMG OMG you just got to try out this TK10! It is only supposed to be 150 lumens but it illuminates better than my 220 lumen model. It is something about the color of the light. Most of them have a bluish cast and the TK10 is more white in color. Rubber grip and takes AA's You would be amazed!
