Flashlights : Fenix L1D-CE VS Nitecore D10 - Part 1

[orbits2]

JFC these 2 lites are are not the same same size

[Benvenga]

its not dollar store jeff thats Costso Brand! lol

[omfg191]

Which one would be better as a weapon light?

[VerystrangeMaster]

what is the coolest flashlight under 30 bucks ? what about under 20 ? And also the most powerfull :)

[hummusbomb]

i got the l1d, works well, the light is a bit greenish (yuck) but it works and sanyo eneloops work just perfect, so its' cheap to run compared to cr123 lights.

[platyplaya]

Jeff you're a responsible guy, you should get back into Surefires. I don't think you'd have an accident again given what you know now.

[kongso12]

Accident??..

Why buy weak Surefires when you can buy 4 high power Fenix lights for the same price?

[platyplaya]

because, I've dropped an ld20 and it froze in low mode.

I've slammed a e2l on the ground and it stayed on, no problems.

[pshhhhhhBOOM]

Do you have any inova reviews?

[PinnacleFlashlights]

Great review! Both lights are fantastic choices but I like the UI on the Nitecores a little better than the Fenix line.

[EDCNUT]

I prefer the Fenix. L1D does not have a Turbo just High.

[topgun685]

dude you have to get the fenix pd30 it is sooooooo cool you will love it and it has 220 lumens

[TechnologicMe]

hey same

 one

[SKSROUNDS]

Where can u purchase the Nitecore D10

[ydidYaDig]

haha "snicker snicker I said nipple" I wasn't laughing until I heard that hahaha

[gurielzeigerman]

Hey cutlerylover. Just ordered my P3D CE q5 from fenix store. i almost got the l1d q5 but the p3d has better output even though the batteries are a ton more money. but i dont mind. I got a nice wad of cash for the holidays since the family isnt quite creative in their gifts so im buying myself a good flashlight. Happy Holidays Man!

[kevin2155boe]

u the guy that left the review?

[gurielzeigerman]

yes

[ultraseven2000]

I've got a nitecore D10 with GDP LED, I'm rather disappointed with it cos the LED emits a buzzing sound when it's on turbo mode. My other LED flashlights such as Fenix and Eagletac does not have such issues. For those who really want a silent light on turbo mode, the Nitecore GDP is a big "NO".

[jofgav]

4 mins through, you had me checking my door.

[mecrazy5]

can you give me a list of what websites you buy your knives from please?

[cutlerylover]

newgraham

onestopknifeshop

knifeworks

bladeshop

888knivesrus

bladehq

just to name a few...

[mecrazy5]

lol a few? thanks!

[hogielove]

I love Knivecenter it is laid out the best and the prices are fair, but the shipping is great supper fast. I like it better than knifeworks but that store is still good. newgraham has the lowest prices on most knives but I have not ordered from them.

[PrescriptionSeven]

@cutlerylover im glad you wrote knifeworks, was going to order a fellkniven f1 but the site has crazy cheap prices so it made me feel kind odd about ordering off there but just cause you said knifeworks ima order my fellkniven now :D

[spp677]

heh... the common term is button terminal, but I think I like nipple better.

Some poor quality AA lights don't like rechargables simply because they spend most of their run time at a lower voltage than alkalines and the light has trouble driving the led as strongly. Quality lights like the ones you're reviewing have good boost drivers that don't have such issues.

[maaachinima]

didyou get those in costco or live near washington

[SonnyBurnettNL]

Excellent review, thanks! Definately five stars.

[NakedPorn]

Awesome vids man, keep up the good work!

[OTEP1234567891011]

hello jeff,i was on newgraham looking at this flashlight and i saw that there was both regular l1dce and then the "premium" version. i did research but still couldn't figure out the difference. could you tell me?

[cutlerylover]

The permium has a different LED inside, a bit better for more info go over to candlepowerforums and ask, those guys can explain it betetr than I can, haha...butyeah thats the difference a slighty more advanced LED...

[sgtrapcat]

hey jeff, where did u get that nitecore? and whats a good wesite to buy flashlights from? thanks dude

[cutlerylover]

got both of these from "4sevens" dot you know what, lol you cna also get other lights there like fenix models...another great website for light stuf is lighthound...

[PurpleDrazi]

Regarding batteries:

L1D-CE: Can use alkaline, ni-mh, & lithium. Li-ion is possible, but you will lose levels

D10: Will use all four.

alkaline batteries generally don't perform well in either flashlights at high output levels.

[cutlerylover]

Yes your right, after a CPF friend of mine watched the vid he gave me the same info...I am not sure where I read it couldnt take rechargables, but its the wrong info...Infact afrter the video the next day I swtiched out the alkaline and put in a energizer lithium AA and saw a difference...

[DemskeetSkeet]

Hey cutlerylover do you know any codes for one stop knife shop website?

Thanks

[cutlerylover]

nope, sorry, I onyl know discount codes for the flashlighjt places sicne there is a thread about them all on CPF...

[DemskeetSkeet]

You should take a look at streamlight's stylus pro, and the streamlight microstream.

Th two best smallest flashlights I have ever used. And you can find them on ebay for 15 bucks a piece.

[LEETLANDON]

Woooh, Costco batteries.

[meow85]

where did u get the lights?? cause id like to buy one for my dad for his belated birthday present lol

[cutlerylover]

I cant post links but its 4sevens at the usuall dot you know what lol...if you use the candlepowerforums code (CPF08) I think double check on the forums, but you geta great discount!

/JW

[cutlerylover]

Another great model...

[JackWorm75]

Looking forward to part 2 of the review, had a look at the Nitecore last time You mentioned them and they are interesting.

I´ll by another light to have in my car along with a good knife but what model and/or brand that will be I dont know. I´m thinking a smaller AA light or single CR123...
