I bought this torch as I walk and work outdoors. I walk hills and work in remote locations where I am dependant on my kit being robust and reliable. I was looking for a compact torch that would withstand a certain amount of abuse from the weather, water and that it would work. On seeing it for the first time I was a little disappointed with the size but its features have made up for that. It has basically four modes: 1. A "normal" light from the hand held torch that can be switched on and off one handed by using the button at the end of the torch. 2. When the torch is on in "Normal" mode, if you depress the on/off button quickly it turns into an SOS (in Morse) signalling torch. 3. In high intensity mode (which is a simple twist of the torch head) it give a very intense bright light. 4. In high intensity mode,if you depress the on/off button quickly it turns into a Strobe light and is very effective in the dark. A good compact torch for anyone involved in hillwalking, fell running, the emergency services, mountain rescue and I am sure that squaddies will love it. It is expensive but is very practical. One positive aspect of the purchase is that the German company that makes the torch wrote to me to guarantee the torch and insisted that I contact them for any issues with the torch. As a parting comment I do a lot of running and as it was a new gadget for me I thought I would take it out in my back overjacket pocket one night after Christmas. At one point of my run an angry dog came running at me and so I whipped out the torch (apologies to mad dog lovers) and shone it in high intensity mode at the dog. The dog just stopped coming at me (I should imagine it was momentarily blinded) and I carried on. To reassure mad dog lovers, the next night the dog was able to continue his harassment of me as I ran past his place but stopped all the nonsense when he saw my torch again. One last point, the torch is fitted with a very strong removable belt clip that restricts the torch being put back into its holder if you leave the clip on. I should imagine that if you intend using the belt clip then you don't use the holder. The hand/wrist strap that comes with it is of a good quality and attached to a point on the button end of the torch. A good bit of kit for specialists.

This is my first review, so here goes.

The Fenix LD20 is simply an amazing torch. I have always had Maglites but there is no comparison. I looked at a few other torches such as the LED Lenser P/T7 but decided on the LD20 and I was not dissapointed.

If you want a bright, shockproof and waterproof torch then this torch is for you.

Wow the Fenix LD20 R5 packs a lot of features for the money! 6 digitally regulated output modes, ranging from 5 to an impressive 180 lumens, are accessible via the tail switch and by turning the bezel. It comes with an excellent sheath, as well as a body clip, a lanyard, and that's the only small downside I could detect so far - with all acessories attached, it's quite a snug fit into that sheath.
All in all it's a really thought-through design, lightweight and waterproof up to 2m, and every feature has a practical application.
I can't believe I've waited so long to upgrade from my 2xAA Mini Maglite - it's no contest, not even in the LED version. The Fenix surpasses it by miles in my opinion.

I have been looking around for a good light for a while and i was recomended the LD20. I bought my Fenix LD20 and i have used it for a while now, i cant be more happy with it. Awsome light, top quality and functions. Got it for a great price here on amazon, it was worth every pound.
The shipping was fast i got it just a few days later from when i order it, and i live abroad. A highly recomended purchase. If you want a great review on this product, look up ''nutnfancy'' on [...]

Yes it is expensive but it is the best. Simply the best in its class.

I am collecting flashlights as a hobby and in the 2xAA category (as well) the Fenix LD20 is clearly a winner.
You could be getting more brightness in other models but you cannot beat the quality durability and duration of a Fenix.

It is the Mercedes of 2xAA flashlights. It lasts longer than competition, it is provenly durable and its design is gracefull!
Just open it, unscrew it, look inside and compare any other flashlight with it. Well known brands look cheap next to it.

All light modes are useful and well thought. The duration is simply unbeatable on 2 AA eneloop batteries and very close to the specs. I highly appreciate the fact that i can use plenty of accessories with this model. Just think how much value is added to your flashlight, compared with competition, when you use a dozen of dedicated difusers, filters and other useful goodies!

My only wish was to have an 'instant on' button switch.But hey, this wish has been added in its successor -the LD25- which was recently introduced. The LD25 has also a mode switch on the body! Wow! When the crisis is over i will certainly upgrade:)

In summary the LD20 is an extremely durable, useful, elegand, practical, most dependable and of course a must have EDC flashlight. Along with the 1xAA LD10 the elite of the AA batteries small flashlight market.

This is an amazing led torch,I really like this, if you want a shock-proof, waterproof compact and very, very bright torch, this is for you.

The Fenix LD20 is exactly what I wanted and more, recommended forany purchaser. It does everything I hoped it would.
