Yes all fenix lights cover under the same factory life-time warranty against manufacturing defect. any problem with the flashlight u just come back to me, locally.
Spare parts yes.
1AAA 1Watt LED flashlight -
as an "ultracompact" back-up, yes.
for brightness, it's abit tough for them to match conventional 1Watt LED light, limited by 1AAA batt capacity & smallish reflector size.
for run-time it will be much shorter than those powered by AA.
thanks to buddies here who had PM me expressing interest in L2T.
I'll be extending a promotional price till this end Oct.
Pls PM me for details. Cheers!
Bro, thanks for your quote.
if you don't mind "china" products, there is one small shop in Sim Lim Tower, basement 1. selling lots of LEDs touches and "spy" cam... you can get a good price and try out till you happy.
i've got 1 for myself, 15 LEDs using 3xAAA batt @around $14.

those 15-leds in one torch are not as strong compared to the single LED modules IMO...those are only good for night reading...
As referred to in one of the earlier posts. You may also want to consider headlamps.
I've used those by Petzl and they are really compact and light. I've used them in the military and also at home for reading. I use it when I go for photo shoots too (in dark areas). This way, both my hands are free to work on any task at hand. :thumbsup:

A good friend of mine both one of those 15-led torch. It was slightly brighter than my tikka headlamp, but after about 1 hour of use, there was a significant drain in his set of batteries and the 15-led torch became much dimmer.
The Petzl headlamps really give good battery yield. On a set of 3 AAA batteries, I felt that it almost lasted forever! :bsmilie:
Why'd you need a headlamp for reading at home? Always got power blackout at your place? :bsmilie:
well for brightness depends on personal preferences....
for the price... <$15 (15LEDs) .. is a veri good bargain.
there is a 7Watt LED. cost $65, if don't remember wrongly.

Sorry, this was not originally intended as a sales thread (nor do I think it has become one...) :dunno:
I was initially asking for recommendatinos on torches only and along the way, someone recommended a local distro for the torch I was looking for, but all communication with the seller was via mobile phone and email (only the initial few PMs).
But thanks for highlighting the T&C again, boss!

Think this is very similar to the Fenix lights, specs almost exactly the same.. oh well, I'm happy with my Fenix L2T, plenty bright for me

Nah, the L2T is good enough for me. Not a hardcore torch enthusiast to wanna spend that kind of money
If juz need a bright LED torch w/o brand (meaning likely fr China). Search the keyword "Luxeon" in eBay and will return hundreds of entries. Got my 1W Luxeon for US1cent but shipping charges add to about S$20.
Getting another 2pcs for a combined shipping of $20 in my latest bid. Can juz fix these no-frills models onto bikes. Stolen also not so heart-ache.

Actually, Fenix is also made in China, but the quality is good. Not planning to mount it to a bike either
