Thanks for the link. I used it last week to buy a Fenix E01 for my girlfriend to put on her keychain. I'm pretty impressed with it--tiny, bright, precisely machined and very sturdy. After playing with it a bit I ordered the
LD20 Q5 to keep in my toolbox. 180 lumens from 2 AA batteries is absurd.
I carry a few lights during the night at work. The LD20 Q5 is excellent. Nice to use for getting attention of traffic with the orange wand on it.

Very good!
Actually ANY "Hybrid" rechargable battery (Wal-Mart has Kodak PRE-Charged for under $9 for 4) work and last forever.
Just make sure it is a Hybrid or pre-charged. (I'm about 80% with the new style and it is so nice to grab batteries that are not dead)
I use lights quite a bit and the Fenix really work well.
The best light for a tool box or glovebox is the $38 delivered E20. It's only a one mode light but bright, strong and well made. It would be better if it was 2 mode. Low and high.
Take care, bill
