Fenix PD20 Flashlight - Best pocket light ever

I've never been so impressed by a pocket flashlight until I bought the Fenix PD20 R2. I'd run the gamut of pocket flashlights...the smallest ones were never bright enough and the brightest ones were too large to carry in a pocket comfortably. I had given up carrying one for a while until I saw some positive reviews online of the Fenix brand and decided to give it a go. Best decision ever. This PD20 R2 is rated up to 190 lumens...yes, 190 lumens in this tiny 1-battery flashlight.

It's super-bright, ultra-compact (3 inches x .75 inches), only requires one CR123 battery, has a pocket clip, fits in the palm of your hand, and is effortless to carry in a pocket. This great pocket light has a push-button activation with 6 different modes...regular mode consists of 9 lumens (for 35 hours), 48 lumens (for 7 hours), 96 lumens (for 2.8 hours), and SOS, and Turbo mode consists of 190 lumens (for 1 hour) and Strobe. You switch from regular to turbo mode by a simple twist of the bezel. The LED casts a nice blue-white light similar to HID headlights found in high-end cars. The only downside is that the Fenix is a bit pricey for a pocket flashlight (~$49), but honestly, you get what you pay for...

This thing is so small you'll forget you're carrying it. This is a great little pocket flashlight for every day carry. I tried taking photos of the beam, but my camera couldn't focus on it. I think there are some you tube videos that show the beam though.
