Product Description
The Fenix LD01 is extremely small, not much bigger than the AAA cell it uses. It has three modes: Medium -> Low -> High. These modes allow the user to select the best compromise between brightness and runtime for any given task. The Fenix LD01 uses just one common AAA battery, and, thanks to its negligible size and weight, it is perfect for Every Day Carry (EDC). Moreover, its solid reliability has been strictly tested and proven.
Features:
- Cree Q5 7090 XR-E LED
- Three output modes: 27 Lumens (3.5hrs) -> 10 Lumens (8.5hrs) -> 80 Lumens (1hrs)
- Four days of survival use (two continuous hours per day on the lowest setting)
- Uses one 1.5V AAA battery (not included), inexpensive and widely available
- 7.35cm (L) x 1.4cm (D) | 2.9 in (L) x 0.6 in (D)
- 14.8-gram (or 0.5 oz) weight (excluding batteries)
- Made of aircraft-grade aluminum
- Durable Type III hard-anodized finish
- Toughened ultra-clear glass lens with AR coating
- Waterproof to IPX-8 Standards
- Capable of standing up securely on a flat surface to serve as a candle
- Reliable twist-switch
- Includes a spare o-ring, a split ring, and a pocket clip
Operation:
Turn the head of the flashlight clockwise to turn on the flashlight. A counter-clockwise turn will then switch it off. To switch between output modes, turn the light on, then turn it off. Within 1.5 seconds after turning the light off, turn it on again and it will be switched to the next output mode. Repeat this process to continue switching through the modes. If the light is turned off for over 1.5 seconds, the regulative circuit will be reset and the light will default to its primary mode the next time it is turned on.

 Great keychain flashlight November 5, 2009
S. Sugiyama
Great flashlight. Well worth the money. If I have to be nitpicky, the highest output of 80 lumens is not as bright as my SureFire one rated at 80 lumens. But for a flashlight that uses only 1 AAA battery, I can't ask for more.
 fantastic light in a minature package, IF you can get one that works! October 24, 2009

Who would want to spend 40 dollars on a mini flashlight? Once you have this baby in your hand, and see the light output, all quells of spending the money will disappear! This is one fantastic flashlight in a tiny package. I'll compare it to other fenix flashlights that I have.
Compared to the E01:
I think the E01 is hand's down the best mini *best value* keyring flashlight ever built. It's so good, and cheap that I would love to buy one for everyone I know. It offers good light for 20 hours! Compared to the E01, the LD01 in the same mode only offers 10 hours. (both use AAA). The E01 is slightly shorter.
Compared to the LD10:
This is fenix's AA version of the flashlight. The LD10 is almost 2x the size of the Ld01. It takes AA batteries, and just feels more solid than the LD01 or E01. I actually prefer the light outout of the LD01, as it is not as concentrated a light spread and seems less hot-spottish.
Major gripe of the LD01.
I had to go through 3 shipments of LD01's from Amazon to find one that didn't have a electrical problem. The electrical problem was light would automatically cycle through the different modes by itself. I was using fresh batteries to test. This means their quality control (their meaning fenix) is really poor. On any other typical product, I would have given up after 2 defective products, but since the LD01 is such a fantastic light in a minature package, as long as my current one doesn't die on me, this is the best keyring flashlight I've ever used!
Great small flashlight October 22, 2009
Mark W. Hammerbacher
Very nice light, its small enough to fit on my key chain yet surprisingly bright. It also uses a single AAA battery, which are readily available and inexpensive.

After 9/11 it became apparent to me (and, I'd warrant, a good number of other New Yorkers) that it would be a good idea to carry around some sort of small flashlight, underscored every time a subway train stopped unexpectedly in a tunnel. It was one of those background amendments to life in NYC that just happened, like the way we react now when a plane flies overhead.
I bought a MagLite Mini and stuck it in my bag. The light seemed reasonably bright, the unit was small and clever with the switch incorporated into the head and being able to stand it on end to use as a candle. I felt a little smug for making such a fine choice.
But I don't always carry my bag with me and the flashlight was too big to carry around regularly in a pocket. As well, because I don't use the light enough, I worried that the batteries would leak. So I took them out. But now I'd have to remember how old the batteries were and replenish them from time to time. The light had now become an end unto itself and not much use to me in a darkened subway tunnel.
A friend gave me a small Orvis keychain light. This solved both the battery problem (some sort of life-long battery in it) and the portability problem but the light was pitifully weak - fine for reading menus but barely enough even to find a keyhole in a darkened apartment building hallway.
Though not as bright as the Mini, the MagLite Silhouette was an improvement over the Orvis (now I could see my shoes in a darkened apartment building hallway), uses only a single AAA battery which I always have on hand to power my insulin pump, and I could attach it to my keychain and as such I'd probably use it more often mitigating the risk of leakage. It felt good in my hand. I congratulated myself for another fine choice.
But in a pitch black subway tunnel?
A review here of small flashlights mentioned the Fenix (pronounced Phoenix) with all the convenience of the Silhouette - a single AAA battery, portability, good build quality, and most important vastly more light than the Silhouette. But $41 (ca. $50 full price) for keychain flashlight? I was suspicious (and bridled at the pronunciation of Fenix). Reluctant, I ordered it.
The scales have fallen from my eyes. It's as trim as the Silhouette, with better build quality and an on/off twist-switch that permits 3 light levels of varying intensity (turning it off and back on within 1.5 seconds moves to the next intensity in order: med, low, high). Unlike the MagLites, the switch is loosened to turn it to the off position not tightened. I've found that I can easily manipulate the switch with one hand and that it quickly becomes apparent how much to loosen it to insure that it won't inadvertently turn on in one's pocket or be so loose that the head will fall off - a few dozen times of turning it on and off and pushing on the lens end with one's thumb sort of trains the fingers, and the threads of the head seem long enough and tightly machined enough to prevent loosening so much that the head will fall off.
But the light! More than enough to see the third rail in a darkened subway tunnel and to scare the bejesus out of rats. $41 will quickly get absorbed and sufficiently amortized by the comfort and confidence I get from reflexively clutching it my pocket when the train stops unexpectedly in a tunnel. Now I'm REALLY smug.
Ultimate Keychain Flashlight. October 4, 2009
P. Foley (Mountain View, ca)
I've got to say I love this light! It's keychain small and beats out my larger 3 battery LED lights. Side by side it throws a beam same as my 3 Watt Brinkman light and on low is bright enough to walk a trail, read a book, unlock a door in real dark.
I live in the country and walking under trees to your truck in 5AM dark means you need a flashlight. Add to that scaring up animals and a bright light is important. Using this little light I am sure to always have both a dim survival light and a very very bright powerhouse.
Battery life is probably minimal, but if it only takes one, so carrying a spare is no huhu.
Must have keychain light. Great buy for backpack or emergency gear if weight is an issue you can wear it on a string, clip it to a hat brim or to a pocket for hands free instead of (or as a backup to) a headlamp.
Verrrrry happy. May buy another one.
