Fenix LD12 2017
Maximum output 320 lumens. Powered by 1 x AA (NiMH, alkaline or lithium) or 14500 Li-ion battery.
The Fenix LD12 2017 has a maximum output of 320 lumens from the Cree XP-G2 R5 LED and has a variety of battery choices. The torch can be powered using either 1 x AA (alkaline, NiMH or lithium) or 1 x 14500 Li-ion battery.
The flashlight has a neutral white LED which provides better colour rendering and reduces strain on eyes. The LD12 2017 features four brightness levels, ranging from 5 to 320 lumens, plus a strobe mode.
Compared to its predecessor the LD12, the 2017 version offers more than double the output. As with the previous model, the LD12 2017 features a tactical tail switch for momentary and constant on. For momentary activation, press the switch partway down and hold and for constant on, simply click and release. The torch also has a side switch which cycles through the brightness levels with the flashlight switched on. Hold the side switch for half a second when on to enter strobe mode and to exit, click again.

Extremely bright for such a small torch, impressive runtime on a single AA battery, beautifully made. Difficult to fault. Only complaint would be that you cannot balance it on its end if you want to use it as a lamp with the diffuser tip – had to lie it flat. | |
