The Fenix LD30 arrived in the mail the other day. I was asked if I would be willing to look at this light and after using a bunch of lights from China, I thought it would be nice to see how a brand-name flashlight compares in use, build quality and overall output when compared to cheaper knock-offs and other less-expensive torches.
In Canada, Fenix lights are priced in the no-mans-land: around $80 - $140, depending on what model and options you go for. This makes them appeal to a smaller market segment. While that may limit the amount of sales, it does put them in a category, that puts them in a market segment where they stand almost alone. There are more expensive flashlights from other brands, and there are a host of cheap alternatives. Fenix, however, fills a gap and promises great features, value and quality at about half the price of the ****fire lights up north.
