Electronics, Lighting, & Gadgets - Thumbs Up for Fenix-Store.com

Last week I ordered a flashlight for my bike from Fenix-Store.com. They shipped it the next day and it was here in four days with free shipping.

By the way, I ordered the PD30 and a mount for the light to go on the bike. Both work great. Uses two 123A batteries and its very bright with good flood. Max brightness is 235 lumens (1.5 hrs) but the other setting are fine for the riding I do (4 hrs @ 125 lumens, 9 hrs at 75 lumens).

Just thought I'd share.

I've used a Fenix LD20 (or its predecessor) for the past three years. It's been a great light with no problems. The only improvement they could make is a low-battery indicator light, as it loses it charge very quickly once the light starts to dim. When I bought a much brighter Magicshine light last fall, I moved the Fenix from my handlebar to my helmet. The Fenix has saved my butt several times when I forgot to charge the battery on my MS, plus it's nice having a helmet light that you can aim at drivers starting to pull out in front of you.

I agree that a low battery indicator would be nice, and a good improvement. For now, I just plan on packing two extra batteries in the seat bag. Initially the price of the 123A batteries was a turn-off, but I found a place online that sells a 50 pack for $45 and free shipping. That's only 90 cent a battery. They got good reviews so I bought 100. So far so good.

Was their site having problems with their security certificate when you ordered? It seems to be having a problem now.

No problems when I placed my order. Added the stuff to my cart and placed the order.

Concerning the site not working... my brother placed an order this morning and he said it went through fine. Might want to try again.

I'm gonna bump this. Just got an email from Fenix-Store that they repaired my out of warranty light, no charge. It was 2 months out of warranty, and barely used in perfect shape (was my backup) so don't know if that helped. I do know most places would have denied the service, so kudos to Fenix for being cool.

If it uses two 123A batteries, will it also work with one 18650?

Do they make 123As in a rechargeable design?

It doesn't say on the Fenix Store website. As far as the rechargeable batteries, I got the batteries in a bulk pack for 90 cent a battery so I never checked on the rechargeable ones. Might be worth checking out though. Someone else might chime in that knows.
