The best EDC flashlight!
on: July 14, 2009, 05:43:12 PM
The Fenix LOD Q4 is by far, the best EDC flashlight I have seen.

It is extremely bright, small, and has a variety of light options/runtimes for a variety of tasks.

I carry it in my Charge sheath and it works out extremely well.

Does anyone else own one? If so, what are your thoughts on it.

I've got one, as well as two LD01s.  There is very little difference between the two, and I find them to be excellent EDC lights.  I keep mine on my keyring and it gets used every day.  The runtime is good and the output very impressive for such a small light.  Even in a pocket with keys the anodised coating has stood up very well.

If I'm going out for extended periods in the dark I'll take a bigger torch, but the LOD/LD01 makes an excellent EDC torch.

I have found the P2D Q5 to be the best edc light for me. It's light, powerful, and has pretty good runtime.

Another big fan of the Fenix L0D Q4 here.  If I was buying now I'd get the LD01 as I have never felt the need for the SOS and strobe settings, but the light difference is so small I don't feels the need to upgrade.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

An EDC light for me has to have a bezel up pocket clip option so that I can clip it to my hat if need be. The clip on my RA Clickies may be hideously ugly but I have yet to find a better hat clipable light.

i don't have an LOD but i have tried 6 or 7 lights over ther past year for EDC. there are many that are the best for some types of situations. RA EDC T is definately on my short list. i carried one for maybe 5 months and it is perfect in every way.
i just added a clip to my D10 and have gone back to it for the past several weeks. i have no problem with either the Ra or the D10 for my uses though i do keep a TK20 in the truck for a heavey duty backup.
when i think if the BEST EDC light i would be hard pressed not to pick the fenix EO1. it's an absolute must have light. simple... easey... honest... and cheap. it fits any every day or night situation.
