Cool new flashlight

[sticknstring_AK]

Just got mine in today, first impression is that it is the best dang flashlight I ever owned.  

One question though, how do you attach the lanyard?

I can't wait to test it out in the dark.

thanks Gene

Good question Steve. Any help on this one?

[Curveman]

Yeah, I took a "twisty tie", made it into a "U", put the string hole on it, then pushed both ends of the twisty "U" through the hole in the flashlight handle then pulled the tie/string through. OR you can catch the point of a pin on the thread then push it through. I hope that helps.

Thanks Curveman/Steve. Great idea. I always knew you were a lot smarter than you look! BW

Great flashlight Barry, I can't say enough about it.  I'll give a full report on how it preforms in real hunting conditions when I get back from my "vacation" hunting trip.

Shipping out on the 31st, I can't wait.

Thanks Steve. We appreciate the feedback. It's nice to be able to recommend something when it's a good value and a great product for our brother bowhunters. Have a good hunt. BW

at just under two hours @ the 215 lumens its still beating almost every other light. My surefire 9P puts out 120 with 3 of those batteries and only gets an hour which is the standard for most powerful lights. I wish I could get one in time for my hog hunt this weekend.

Just put in order for the whole thing! headband,red lens, extra batterys.
I'm always getting lost in those WV mountains

Well, GREAT customer service. Ordered two lights late last week and they arrived Monday afternoon. First impression is the Fenix is light weight, fits well in the hand, and unbelivably powerful. I like having the option of low light versus "intense" Turbo Mode. This light appears to have a college degree and is likely smarter than most of its users.    Head band works well too. I'll keep the Streamlight as my backup and the Fenix is now my GO TO light!

I have given mine a whirl for 4 nights now and I just ordered another one. I don't need it but I'm scared of losing the first one...CYA..

[Dale Hajas]

I just got mine and this puppy ROCKS!!

[kcdaniels]

WOW!!! Ordered mine on the 19th and received it today!!

Ive got to say that it lives up to the hype then some

I just got mine and it looks like it will be a big help bloodtrailing hogs this winter in Florida. I go with a group of friends and there is always a couple of marginal hits that we need to bloodtrail through the thick brush at night. The only hope you have is a good flashlight and I've had my stinger go out after following up for an hour and had to go to another flashlight. This flashlight will let me carry one bloodtriling instead of the three I've been carrying since they wouldn't last more than an hour.

The more I pay for a flashlight the faster it disappears, I buy a cheap one and I have it until I decide its time to throw it away. I don't know where all my flashlights have gone, but I hope if I ever find them, they are with all my right hand gloves and elk calls!

Just a heads up on traveling with lithium batteries. you are limited to two nonrechargeable lithium batteries and you must have them in the flashlight in your carryon only.

I have been meaning to order one of these...thanks for the reminder.  I just placed the order!

[Hattrick]

i ordered 3 today can`t wait!

Man - this really pumps me up - sounds and looks like a REAL flashlight - finally. On top of that, a lot of folks whose opinions I have come to respect on here and other forums (not just the "in-famous" folks either - LOL) are saying great things about it. I can see I gotta start looking for pennies and aluminum cans, or something and order me one. (I have a Mini-Mag headband - always used one going in and out - will that hold it or is it a tad smaller?)

I got sucked into one of those curssed Carnivore lights false video about three years back, put out by a fine knife co, who should have stuck with knives. Some of you may recall how I blasted them (Gerber) for that fiasco on here and other forums - and some folks joined me. That venerable knife company could not have cared less, and as far as I know never offered any redress or (real) apologies to anyone. I still have and do not use the worthless thing. Last year a (active Duty Marine friend - Semper Fi) got me a Shure Fire light and while it is a pretty good light (and I appreciated it), it does have it's (time) drawbacks, and I wasn't quite as impressed with it as I recall being when they first came out (and I couldn't afford them). It could be a "lesser" model, or it could be these ol' eyes are getting worse - LOL - BUT THIS video is impressive and obviously not rigged, that I can discerne. I'm impressed.

Gotta have one!

Course so far this year I haven't even seen a Deer yet during shooting hours (just coming and going from/to hunting - LOL)and not getting out as much anymore, let alone needed to track one - But gotta have one anyway - just because it has gotta be the best REAL hunter's light yet - I'm convinced, and haven't even seen it (face to face) yet - (like the Deer - LOL).

Good job Wensels and Brothers  of the Bow (you too Biggie, for starting the thread).

Expect one more order as soon as my ship comes in - LOL. BTW, Thank you to everyone else also for all the good comments, observations, and questions.
