i just cant agree with you on the whole weapon light thing man ive come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for and why would you trust your life on something that costs 50$ if you search you can get a surefire scout light for maybe 150 -200 bucks and i can say ive abused mine since ive had it but you do a thuro job keep em coming
@pinosguns because we have prooven time and time again that you dont have to pay tons to get good gear, surefire is way overpriced. you get 10x the preformance with Fenix, Olight and 4sevens jsut to name a few.
Hello Nutnfancy,i am a big big big fan of you i like what you doing on YouTube and keep it like this.I want you to help me w/ an advice i want to buy a Fenix Flash light and i dont know what to choose between P3D Q5 -215 lumens, PD30 R2 -235 lumens , TK10 -225 lumens.And what is the maximum distance-range lighting, which you can see something clearly with the flash light recomended by you? I apreciate if you have a little time to give me an advice.
The PD05 looks like something you guys would like....the best price I have seen for this new product.....$39.99 for a 100 Lumen 2 AAA penlight (Streamlight Stylus Pro in size - 4 x brighter at only 2x the price).
My question, or concern, is why is Maxpedition running a closeout sale on Fenix... No more interest from Max in carrying flashlights, making room for new models coming out, etc. They are great lights so I can't see Fenix going anywhere anytime soon.
I use rubber orings to step up the diameter if the body to fit in the mount. It allow you to crank down the mount and I can shoot slugs and the light doesnt shift in the mount.
PD30 is a update of P3D so i think so but do a little more research but it is a FENIX so i think it will ...about to make the same buy for my 870 EXPRESS TACTICAL
I mounted a LD10 to my Rem 870 with a cheap ebay light clamp using small patches of silicone rubber to pad the clamp. Tested it in a night shoot and the system held up well. I imagine the PD30 would do at least as well.
I am thinking about buying this to mount on to my ar15, i dont like the looks of the light but the strobe has a advantage if i could set it to strobe everytime i hit a pressure switch is that a possible set up?
Hey Nutn, love your vids. Civilian Sheepdog sayin keep up the good work! How did you get the tac rail on your AR fore grip? Any specific rail you would suggest?
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your honest opinion. Because of the review I bought the Fenix P3D. It did come with Tenergy Proper 123A Lithium batteries. The cost to me was $54.95. This included the freight. I purchased the Fenix P3D from E Bay. It works great. I am glad I listened to you. Thank you!
nutnfancy - at 22:30 you mention a small gripe about the Fenix P3D not having a memory function, A way around this is to leave the light in turbo mode and turn it off. Especially if used as a weapons light that is the mode, turbo - I would like the light to start in and if I need less I can adjust it. Most likely if mounted on something like an AR15 and you have a need to turn the light on you will want all of the available light that weapons light (P3D) has to offer. Start in turbo mode.
holy man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 50.00 bucks for a max 212 lumens!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive been waiting for a reasonable price!!! i have an energizer 90 lumen i got for 44.00 bucks... but i love fenix iam going online to buy one rigt now!!!
I like Led Lenser P7 200 Lumen, and Led Lenser Police Tech Torch 108 lumen. Both made in Germany. (I personally like German or Japanese product as they have never failed on their quality production). But what is going on with flashlight world these days ? It seems everyone is trying to compete with one another. LOL!
Just bought a PD30 last week... waiting for it to arrive now, can't wait! Thanks man, you got me into knives and now you've got me into lights and other gear too! Hehe.
would you trust the P3D on a tactical shotgun which will primarily shoot slugs and buckshot? I know you mentioned it was recoil resistant but would the tactical shotgun knock it senseless?
I go camping quite frequently, and need the replacement for the gas light, both i think would do this.
I also do a fair amount of work on my car, some times at night too. For that i have one, well similar, of the small green ones that Nut commented on in the L2D review, he said eats through the batteries. and they are also not very bright.
great review i have been looking for weeks now for a tactical light for my ar-180b and this right here will work perfect for what i need excelent review nutn
nutnfancy you did it again! I purchased a SOG Aegis a while ago based on your review and love it, its part of my edc gear. I purchased a fenix pd30 based on your review of the p3d and man do I love it! Your reviews are great, they're informative and to the point, no hype just facts, good and the bad. Thanks so much!!
"Your reviews are great, they're informative and to the point, no hype just facts, good and the bad." Thanks much LifeOfaHero90...guys like you make it worthwhile! Peace
@LifeOfaHero90 Love your Reviews. You have the best review for the P3D and I ended up buying after doing my own research and finalized my decision after watching your review. Thank you very much for you reviews and keep it up...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have the TK10 (2 of them), and the PD20 and P1D Q5.
Ok, so I have read some other boards which state some issues with Fenix lights. I had one upon receipt of the PD20. I had to take the light apart and clean it for it to work. I almost sent it back, but on a last ditch attempt to qualify the non-funtion, I took the tail cap unit apart and mess with the switch....most consumers would have sent the light back for sure...but its fixed now. Just a caveat for buyers of Fenix.
I purchased a Fenix TK11 from fenix tactical . com and its AMAZING? They also sell a pressure switch for them so they can easily be use with a weapon. They are SOOO much better then the surefire ones and a lot cheaper. Fenix is the way to go, LOVE IT!
HEY! Maglites are still useful. Like deer killing. lol. (No joke, my friend did it one day. lol.) I'd like to see you bludgeon a deer to death with one of those. Plus, my Maglite's got an LED lamp, so it's really bright, and 3 D batteries last a hell of a long time.
Looks like a great light, your right about shurefire overpriced and not verry rugged. My unit bought shurefires like everyone else in the Army for weapons lights. I had a M203 so I wasn't issued a surefire. Before I deployed I bought a Surefire E2D Defender. The lamp assembly broke after two weeks straped to my hip in the turret. When it broke my squad leader gave me a Pellican Tac light that my platoon had replaced our Surefires with. That $40 Pelican still works and has a lifetime warenty.
Your camera adjusts to the light level, so it's difficult to tell the difference between lights and even it's own modes, maybe you could do something?
I've learned more about flashlights from your videos than I have ever known...same goes for knives...and guns...and other tactical gear. I've really learned so much from you! Thanks, Nutnfancy!
NUTN I know how you are on value so just wanted to mention the coleman xr-c 75 lumens and about 100 meters of lighting distance. Cost $17.99 at walmart. Your vids r the best . Thanks
Those batteries for the P3D are much more expensive than the aa batteries though. Last time I had a flashlight that uses those i paid 5 dollars for each
It's easy to take a look at the Surefire website (or Amazon) and see how their price/performance compares to Fenix. SureFires are great but they are also much more expensive for the same performance.
I love my Fenix TK10 more than any light I've ever owned. Many grip options, huge accessible switch, bright, tough. Love it.
The only downside I've found are that it takes two hands to switch from regular to turbo mode. I think that alone is a massive design flaw. Especially considering who they're marketing those lights to.
Hey Nutnfancy, As a duty light I trust my EagleTac P10C2 ($56 !). It has 295 lumens on high for 1.2 hrs, and 60 lumens for 10 full hrs on low mode. It's incredibly compact, durable, and very simple to operate. I highly recommend that you, and everyone watching check it out. Thanks for the video's and stay safe!
I've emailed Fenix asking where is there a retailer in my area. Never got an answer. I'm not going to buy anything off of the internet. But Iwant and L2D
Hey 4Ugrunt, If you never found a retailer but are still interested, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from the fenix online store. Right from Fenix themselves, free shipping anywhere in the world. You can upgrade it cheaply too, with stuff like shipping insurance for only $5.
"but 23 minutes well spend! ;)" Thanks. Yep 23 minutes but a much of the time is spent on other philosophy subjects like weapon lighting and other lights. That makes it more interesting I think.
Totaly agree! Everbody can say how great a flashlight or a knife or a gun is. But TNP takes it a stap further because of the ``philosophy of use`` discussion. Thats what makes TNP so special! Thanks allot for another great video, as always! Your work is much appreciated, and its great to see that your family also suports TNP, because it takes allot of your freetime after work etc.!
I think I mentioned this in your L2D video but Im not sure if you knew this but you can take off one body tube and take out on battery on the L2D to amke it a L1D, has the same output as the L1D in this setup so its even more versitale than people think...
I think they advise you not to put it on turbo mode for extended periods because the bezel can get really hot, last time my L2D Q5 went on by accident in my gym bag and it stayed on for up to 80minutes and it was waaay to hot to touch the bezel, it felt like a glass cup with boiling water inside.
Great review mate! I think Fenix has a remote switch available, but I believe that they are only for the TK series. BTW, pretty cool how this review was filmed in South Africa :-)
That was going to be my question. I want a pressure pad switch assembly when I buy one...and a weapon mount, natch. I really hope they have them for all their series of lights, because pricing these makes me want one like yesterday. Good comment.
You COULD make pressure switches yourself, but the fact of the matter is that I would rather have a tested mil spec switch. They are just not something I care to fashion myself as I need real reliability in that particular component. Mounts are easy to do, but switches can be tricky.
Since he also mentioned Olight, I think you should know that Olight makes a weapons mount and pressure switch for the M20 warrior. The Olight M20 out performs anything in Fenix TK series (250 lumens for 4.5 hours!). I have both Fenix and Olights, and the M20 is by far my favorite in my collection, we'll see if that statement holds true when I pick up some Nitecore and EagleTac lights.
Check out 4sevens(dot)com, they carry a wide array of Fenix, Olight, and Nitecore lights.
4.5 hours is possible in "ideal" lab conditions, which of course is what all manufacturers will go by to help sell their lights. With that said, selfbuilt's run time test on the M20 on candlepowerforums puts run time at 2-3 hours on high until 50% output.
Man I want one of these. my lights are so friggin heavy. I know so little about modern torches. I need to go look up your older vids on this. I so need to update my loadouts. Much appreciated, brother!
Nutn please look at the Olight T20-T R5. 2.05 oz without batteries, 270 Lumens. All I wanna know is how good the throw is.

I've emailed Fenix asking where is there a retailer in my area. Never got an answer. I'm not going to buy anything off of the internet. But Iwant and L2D

Hey 4Ugrunt, If you never found a retailer but are still interested, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from the fenix online store. Right from Fenix themselves, free shipping anywhere in the world. You can upgrade it cheaply too, with stuff like shipping insurance for only $5.

"but 23 minutes well spend! ;)" Thanks. Yep 23 minutes but a much of the time is spent on other philosophy subjects like weapon lighting and other lights. That makes it more interesting I think.

Totaly agree! Everbody can say how great a flashlight or a knife or a gun is. But TNP takes it a stap further because of the ``philosophy of use`` discussion. Thats what makes TNP so special! Thanks allot for another great video, as always! Your work is much appreciated, and its great to see that your family also suports TNP, because it takes allot of your freetime after work etc.!

Big fan of the Fenix line also. Like finding a good mfg of firearms, they tend to multiply after you buy the first one.

I think I mentioned this in your L2D video but Im not sure if you knew this but you can take off one body tube and take out on battery on the L2D to amke it a L1D, has the same output as the L1D in this setup so its even more versitale than people think...

theres a new model called the PD30 its the new P3D with anti roll feature and improved reflector and circutry.
chrisw40 3 years ago
I have a P3D (would be a miracle light 15 years ago!)
surface could have more texture.
Also for vacations or or overseas military use better use a light with AA batteries
or use this one with rechargeable Li-ions

I got a P3d Q5 too.
I just wish fenix would have better grip texturing or try a polymer torch.

Doesn't look bad At all. Hey fancy i Use the EagleTac P10C2 / Uses 2 CR123 Bat. and rated up to 295 Lumens...Check it out !

I think they advise you not to put it on turbo mode for extended periods because the bezel can get really hot, last time my L2D Q5 went on by accident in my gym bag and it stayed on for up to 80minutes and it was waaay to hot to touch the bezel, it felt like a glass cup with boiling water inside.

Great review mate! I think Fenix has a remote switch available, but I believe that they are only for the TK series. BTW, pretty cool how this review was filmed in South Africa :-)

That was going to be my question. I want a pressure pad switch assembly when I buy one...and a weapon mount, natch. I really hope they have them for all their series of lights, because pricing these makes me want one like yesterday. Good comment.

Well can't u make them youselves?
GalaxySmith18 3 years ago
You COULD make pressure switches yourself, but the fact of the matter is that I would rather have a tested mil spec switch. They are just not something I care to fashion myself as I need real reliability in that particular component. Mounts are easy to do, but switches can be tricky.
PariahOfTheKOHLM 3 years ago
Since he also mentioned Olight, I think you should know that Olight makes a weapons mount and pressure switch for the M20 warrior. The Olight M20 out performs anything in Fenix TK series (250 lumens for 4.5 hours!). I have both Fenix and Olights, and the M20 is by far my favorite in my collection, we'll see if that statement holds true when I pick up some Nitecore and EagleTac lights.
Check out 4sevens(dot)com, they carry a wide array of Fenix, Olight, and Nitecore lights.

250 lumen for 4.5 hours on 2x123a is physically impossible at this stage, you are looking at 1.5 hours or so actual run time.
jzmtl 2 years ago
4.5 hours is possible in "ideal" lab conditions, which of course is what all manufacturers will go by to help sell their lights. With that said, selfbuilt's run time test on the M20 on candlepowerforums puts run time at 2-3 hours on high until 50% output.

Fenix just came out with pressure pads. they started releasing a bunch of cool stuff after the last SHOT show. checkout their website.
