The Fenix is available in two models. The Premium and Standard.

(The Standard is different in that is only has HAII instead of HAIII coating,
no R bin Luxeon LED and no AR (anti-reflective) coating on the lens)

The front end of the L1P shows the glass lens and smooth surface reflector that delivers a near flawless beam.

The Fenix L1P tailcap is tucked away nicely and allows the light to stand up on end to be used in "candle mode"
to illuminate an entire room. The switch can also be modded for two-stage light output
that operates by twisting for on-off operation while clicking switches between the two brightness levels.

L1P comparison

Here is a size comparison between the Task Force 1W LED, Surefire L4 and E1L, Fenix L1P and HDS U85.
The Fenix L1P runs on Alkaline AA's for a few hours at diminishing brightness, NiMH AA's at near constant
brightness for about two hours and Lithium AA's for just over 3 hours. Brightness on my unit starts out at about
30 lumens on fresh cells and then drops to around 25~27 lumens or so (on NiMH cells). The Fenix is a great EDC
light that runs on very common AA cells (and only one cell as that) and is very thin. It puts out about the same
amount of overall light as my Surefire E1L w/KL1 with a nice hot-spot with a very good amount of side spill.
The Fenix L1P is one of my favorite lights. It uses common cells, is small and bright and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
