Fenix has come out with their own version of a penlight. It runs on 2 AAA batteries and is 5.88 inches long.
Unlike most penlights it uses a high output XP-E (R2) LED that provides up to 100 lumens max output. When you don’t need that much light you have the option of selecting either 4 lumens or 32 lumens.
The tail cap switch is of push button design. The head, tail, and pocket clip are made of stainless steel, while the main body is aluminum with a type III hard-anodized finish.
I am a big fan of Browning flashlights and currently have seven different Browning’s.
My most recent acquisition is the “Tactical Hunter 160″ where the 160 indicates the amount of lumens generated.
It runs on a single CR123A lithium battery, is 4.10 inches long, and features aluminum construction. The tail cap switch has momentary-on capability but is not recessed so the light can’t stand on its tail. The switch also has a lock-out feature to prevent accidental operation.
As its name implies, Browning designed this as a hunting flashlight; therefore, they have given it a Mossy Oak camouflage finish. They also provide 3 lens filters (red, green, & blue) for blood tracking, and other hunting uses.
One of my favorite features of this light is the pocket clip. It is designed for extremely low pocket carry and is barely noticeable in one’s pocket. This low carry capability makes the light less likely to disappear from one’s pocket accidently.
I believe that Browning no longer offers this particular model, i.e. it isn’t shown on their company website, but I was able to get mine from here and at a great price.
One other thing I should mention is that the lens provides a focused square beam rather than a circular beam. While I don’t consider this to be a draw back others might.
