Flashlights : Fenix L1D-CE VS Nitecore D10 - Part 2

[michaelking42]

Hey really nice job on your review! You should get a commission. Made me laugh when you went through that whole 'nipple' routine in part 1. Good job mate.

[brownbear696969]

The Maglite XL100 has a accelerometer built in it

[marcelloviscardi]

Ive got the Fenix PD30 and you can use momentary off in any made, doesnt the L1D do the same?

[experimentjon]

Arrgh. Damnit. I need a Nitecore D10 now. XD

[trailer701]

what do you think about the new d10? i'm still searching for the old version with the ramping feature

[njaln]

he says that thenitecore is, yeah, but its about 10 bucks more exspensive!!! i would go for the fenix!!

[selenicmooncry]

i think the fenix max output on turbo is 120 lumen too

[oTHEBLESSEDHELLRIDEo]

The nitecore D-10 Q5 which is the one he has here is 130 lumens

[trailer701]

the q5 version is, his ce is about 90 i think

[Nosedive4130]

Very nice review. I think that you may have curbed my desicion towards the Nitecore. I currently own the Nitecore Defender Infinity. It has turned out to be a great EDC, but i'm not looking forward to paying the price. It also tends to tear my pockets up with the Crenalated Strike bezel. Looks like the D10 has just earned a new spot with me.

[sebs30v]

Good review man, you remind me of nutnfancy, soooo long winded, less is more. You can say more by talking less. But I do like your videos, good job man.

[NinjaAnarchist]

What tactical situation is the momentary on useful for?

[TechnologicMe]

fenix

[notedan0]

i wonder if you could turn the piston on the nitecore into a fire piston for tinder... that would be awesome

[Bugstomper2]

@aendzo; I did that with a mag-light. Sort of. It worked fine on two AA Alcalines, but when I put in two AA Lithium batteries, it burned out the lamp! I replaced it, and did it again, because I didn't believe it the first time! LOL

[RoscoeBa]

Excellent CL. Lots of info I needed to hear/see. Thx!

[janknudde]

Good video. I've had the D10 for a year, and it's been excellent. What I think you don't mention is that it remembers the last setting after turning it off. Makes it even nicer.

[aendzo]

im planning to buy a fenixtk 10 led lamp, it uses 6v battery, whatll happened if i use 7.2v battery?

[yashirobi123]

i wouldnt recommend that!

if there isnt any power regulator in it, the led would get to much energy and might broke immediatly or the lifetime will be reduced tremendously...(i bet the companies let the led already work at a 100% or even above to be able to sell the brightest flashlight on the market)

greets from germany

[aendzo]

ok thanks man, i couldnt get it off my head, i bought a fenix tk10 already, and tried the battery, it worked perfectly.. hahaha..

[demonchacer]

thats is one nice flashlight. doesnt look like much but it has realy nice featues

[rikuwillkillu]

im just wondering one less part so come off less problems?

[seven47katana]

OMG i dont know why but i cant do disko or turbo  mode on my fenix l1d can you guys help me ?

[muller4343]

is there a strobe on the nitecore

[ElMonoDelMar]

No, there isn't.

[StConstantine]

hey, i was wondering if u could help me with a problem i have. I recently bought a Nightcore D10 and i love it but a couple of days ago one end on the paracord lanyard it came with, came out of the "cord end" im not really sure what to call it, its the part where the two ends of the cord meet and are encased in a kind of black plastic thing, i was looking at that piece but i am unsure as to how to put the cord back into it, ANY help would be great.

Thanks

Con

[cutlerylover]

the round black part should have a sprign in it so it keeps pressure on the cord, just line of both cord ends and press the piece together to open up the hole you need to feed the sord through then get both cords through uit and let go of the plastic piece...

[StConstantine]

uh i think you misunderstood me, the piece im talking about is not that round thing with the button used to adjust the size of the hole, it is the actual end of the cord, its more of a flat square or trapezium type shape

[baconturkeybravo]

just place the ends into the spiky things and close the top.

[Forgoten214]

I wish they had pocket clips. For EDC I don't know about carrying in a holster all the time.

[SKSROUNDS]

Where can u purchase the Nitecore D-10 i would love to get one.

[manoman0]

light dimmer on the d10: not to mention the efficiency of it. dimming saves batteries, so must be overall more efficient than other flashlights.

[dsarti1]

dont point those bright flashlights directly into the camera lens it is bad for the sensor

[13u12sT]

im gonna get the nitecore d10 looks so small and compact

[dsarti1]

The Fenix L1D-CE has been discontinued they upgraded it with the L1D Q5 also 120 lumn

[READComment1]

@dsarti1 Yup! And now, it is called the LD10 R5.

[001roytube]

Jeff, did you mention using NiMH batteries for better runtime? Good reviews. I'll take either light, but the D10 is intriguing. May end up with one of those. BTW, I think I'll pass on the cookbook video. See ya!

[Lamepro1]

where did you get your nightcore d10 from? ive been looking for one but cant seem to find any what so ever anywhere on the web.

[cutlerylover]

try thefenixstore or foursevens...

[SirJabsAlot]

Wow the nitecore is pretty cool

[lilsam1618]

ahh my eyes loll :')

[OTEP1234567891011]

does the nitcore not have strobe?

[cutlerylover]

This light was made to be used for EDC and the designer didnt see a stobe function or SOS neccesary, so no, no strobe or SOS...

[thekapow]

@cutlerylover now in the newest version D11.2 it has both strobe and sos

[benchmademanac]

really good video

[gstrader73]

i got mine a few days ago ..... should i send it back. why would it be like that. also, remind me how to donate(i have seen it on ur vids)

[cutlerylover]

Hmm, I woudl 1st go to candlepoweerforums and ask over there so more knowledgable flashaholics cna maybe help yopu figure it out befoe you send it back...to donate you cna just go to paypal and send payment to cutlerylover at hotmail dot (com) or follow the link uner my name or in my bulletin on ym home page here and floow the instructions...

[gstrader73]

Hey Jeff, was wondering... does ur D10 have a wide dark ring around the main beam..??

[gstrader73]

i notice it starting at about one foot shining on the wall.

[cutlerylover]

nope, when I 1st tirned it on it was too bright for the camera to see so it adjusted and toens it down...watch when I 1st turn it on again how it loosk to dim down, thats the camera adjusting the light...no, the beam is pretty smooth, although I heard the newer version with the Osram LED is even better...

[powderkid]

I have been eying the d10 for awhile now, I can't wait to get mine as my edc light.

Granted I have a Surefire e2d defender which rocks, but i like how small and feature laden the d10 is. Great review!

[cutlerylover]

There are plenty of lights that blow the D10 out of the water, howevere those lights are all more expensive and usually take CR123 lithiums, which are also expensive....I have bad expereicne with those batteries, had one vent on me with flame, not literally on me, but you know, haha, scared the crap out of me and tuirned me off of them and ALL the really high end lights use them, bummer...So this was great because its small, cheap (for what youn get) bright! full of features, and...takes an AA!

[powderkid]

yeah i really like the price point on the d10, thats one of the reasons i was interested.

are you perhaps referring to the novatac's and such and those blowing out of the water lights ;)

[cutlerylover]

Not specifically, lol but yeah those are nice too...I was thinking about modded incandescentsw like thwe mag85 mod that puts out 1000 lumens...lol looks like a maglite but for the cost of @ $130 or so it delivers a blinding wall of light! If your a CPF member thats old new to you Im sure, lol...then again LED's cant compete with some incans like HID's...yet...

[powderkid]

I have seen those floating around on CPF and look pretty darn sweet! I like my LED's though :)

[sharpy002]

really good vids on these lights jeff, i own the fenix L1D and it is a great light but that D10 looks even better, i have my heart set on getting the fenix TK-10 next its a beast lol..

[raindog951]

Good review. If you had the torch on the lowest setting how long would the battery last? I'm thinking of for caving use in an emergency.

[cutlerylover]

I believe on the lowest settgin runtime is about 2 full days staright...more info though on their website...or where these are sold...

[raindog951]

Ta! That's a good long time.

[djw1shb0n3]

I have the ex10 and love it. It's a bit smaller which is nice. Took me some time to get use to the UI on my EX10 though. I had to lube the inner tube up a bit to make it usable. The rear button was just way too hard to operate and the instant max or min functions were impossible. After some cleaning and re-oiling I am happy to say that it's very much improved.

Definitely stress the difference between any clicky and the nitecore. Some might miss the tactile feel of input response.

[eltejano]

I got the ex10 too from 4sevens- I love it, but I had to lube it as well- I was a bit disappointed at first because I didn't realize I would have to do that- but once I did I liked the light

great review (again) cutlerylover

[towelheads12345]

Another great review. You're the only person I have ever subscribed to. hah

[cutlerylover]

I appreciate it!

[cwbama]

I like the nitecore alot.That ramping feature is really nice.

Excellent video.5 stars:)

[crumbub]

nice review! i personally just got the NiteCore ex10 yesterday in the mail and love it! i hope yours works out as well as mine has!

[MadBadVoodo]

Five Stars!

[jonesr999]

I like the fenix because it has the strobe feature and the SOS.

[cutlerylover]

I like that too but I cna do both while in momentary on mode, just have to do it myself, lol..

[lsutigers1010]

awsome review
