Fenix LD41 Flashlight Review

There is a new contender for the title of best flashlight – the new Fenix LD41.  The Fenix LD41 flashlight is one of the brightest 4 AA flashlights on the market – a whopping 520 lumens in high.  But the LD41 is more than lumens – it’s easy to use, it’s got a great beam pattern, and this light is built to last.

Fenix LD41 Flashlight

The Fenix LD41 has a very durable anodized aluminum body.  It’s nothing to mess around with – this light is solid.  It has a state of the art Cree XM-L U2 LED that produces a blinding 520 lumens in high.  The beam pattern is very smooth – reminiscent of a SureFire flashlight – with a well defined hotspot, corona, and spill light.

The Fenix LD41 uses a dual pushbutton system to make it easy to turn the flashlight on and off and to access all of the 4 different brightness levels, plus strobe and SOS.  The larger pushbutton is used for on/off and the smaller button is the mode switch.  The on/off button does stick out from the tail of the light, so the LD41 cannot tail stand.  There is a molded lanyard hole where you can attach the included wrist lanyard.  The Fenix LD41 runs on 4 AA batteries – you can use either alkaline, primary lithium, or rechargeable NiMH AA batteries.  To install the batteries, simply unscrew the head, take out the battery carrier, and snap in the 4 AA batteries.
