Mag lite seems to have fallen behind. The price is great and free shipping since I bought 3 of them. Rating: 5 / 5 Very bright,seems as nice if not nicer than a mag lite.

I don't really need this as I carry, and have carried for years, the little Photon LED lights made by Micro Light. This Fenix is brighter, no doubt, but much larger than what I am used to. The sad thing is that it is made in China. Amazon fails to put country of origin on its product details so who knew? Both Maglite (I own several models) and Micro Light are made here in the USA and are fantastic products. I like to buy American when I can get a good product (rare) so as to support American workers. However, I also believe in the "free" market (so-called) and competiton. So come on, Maglite, you can no doubt make a better product line than Fenix and keep those worthless dollars here on shore. Will I buy another, bigger, Fenix? I think so. Who here in the US makes better for the buck (or even close?)? Rating: 4 / 5 I’ve never heard of Fenix and ordered this based on the reviews.

The center spot is more round on the Arclight, where the Fenix spot was oval.

The overspill is tighter & brighter on the Fenix due to it’s deeper reflector… which also makes it slightly longer. There’s also a bright ring around the center spot due to the reflector.

The keychain hole on the Fenix is too small for most keychain rings, making it difficult to use it for what it was designed for… a keychain light.

It’s also a little wider because of it’s waste of space due to it’s flat sides (which don’t prevent it from rolling away anyway).

I just put the Fenix on my keychain because it’s brighter, & has a longer battery runtime. Let’s see if it holds up the the abuse, & all my keys banging on it as the Arclight P (premium) did.

I can buy 5 of these Fenix lights for what one Arclight P cost me.
