I remember him, "the Fenix shillguy" from about 2007!! I bought a L2DQ5 premium light back then with a LaCrosse battery charger and some rechargeable batteries thinking I'd be set for a few years. And after that I'd end up with a nice flashlight that I could use in my car/condo after I replaced it with something better and cheaper like some of my other electrical stuff. I now wonder how I ever saw where I was going then after several lighting upgrades. For $150 you can get several much much brighter LiIon powered lights that will outperform the L2D as well as give you redundancy.
I use this light as my main light now and it costs half of what I paid for the L2D. Get a decent battery (a Panasonic or Samsung) and a charger to go with it and you've got enough left over to buy another flashlight and not go over your budget.
