Well I can't imagine what you could criticize about this thing. It's very well made. It stands on it's end. The clip and included belt carrier work well. It's also brighter than the sun. Seriously thing thing has an awesome wide beam and it's extremely bright. Having the option to run it at a lower power is also nice and saves on battery since you don't really need the high beams all the time. I've owned a lot of LED flashlights and I'm an outdoorsman. I've bought very nice and expensive ones in the past and this one is now the best one I own, especially considering it's small size.

First let me say that I love this flashlight! In a nutshell I had been the proud owner of the Surefire E2 Defender until it decided fall from my pocket and never return... Since I was in the market for another torch I decided that I wanted an LED flashlight this time around and after reading some reviews I decided on the Fenix TK10. After receiving the new light I was initially very impressed. The build quality and stability or the product are superb, the two modes of operation are a nice touch, and the waterproofing is excellent! However I was a little disappointed at how large it was compared to the E2 that I had been carrying and so I decided to order another smaller torch that would be more suitable for carrying on a daily basis (the TK11 will go in the glovebox of my car when I get home). I decided to stick with the Fenix brand after I saw how sturdy and well made the TK11 was and after briefly searching again I found the Fenix PD30R2! Since it arrived I have carried it with me all day every day and haven't had a problem in the 2 months it's been with me. Like the TK10 it has a very solid build, however it also has a couple of features that it's bigger brother lacks. The most important of these is the ability to use multiple settings for brightness all with a quick half press on the power button. Turbo mode is VERY bright for a flashlight of this size (235 lumens) and outshines every Surefire that I have seen or used. The second is a much better belt clip that allows for easy placement and removal in a pants pocket (the TK10 clip is quite a bit more difficult). Overall I would say this is a great product and for half the price of a typical Surefire it's hard to argue against buying one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bright! But flickers, June 7, 2010

It's small, it has a good feel and nice controls. It's very bright and at first it was highly satisfying. But after 10 min of play or so, it developed a flicker. I'm not talking about the blink mode, I mean it flickers in the on mode. Shudders, you might say it's a very fast flicker. The price is much less than a comperable, as far as I can tell, and I don't know if this is a lemon or if they all do this. I didn't drop or damage it.

Update: I discovered that it was a low battery, and figure it was more like 20-30 minutes I'd used it on high. Now I use the low mode for most things, and hit high only when needed. I have no complaints and the flicker has not returned.
