Just like many things, quality control varies. From what I've seen in the Fenix lights I own, Fenix QC is very good. I've never had a lemon.
Also, 4Sevens deals with a lot of lights manufactured in China and they're very good regarding support IME.

On my keychain is a Fenix EO1 aaa, on my belt for work I've gone to a Victorinox aa two cell LED. Got it free with a farmer gift pack the misses got me for last Christmas. I can get free aa batteries from work, so that's why I use it there. For my "personal" use I have a Nitecore Infinty Ultra.

Most often I use my phone back light. Because it's always in my pocket. If in the field, I'm using its camera flash UBLED to light my path in the night. In the car I'm keeping MAGLite 4D with TLE-300M-EX LED upgrade close at hands. I have a dozen of other good flashlights, but these are the most used.

The Fenix LD01 on my keychain. It's so bright that I rarely use any other light unless I know I need it to run for hours. Most importantly for me, it's bright enough to be really useful. The little 5mm LED lights just weren't bright enough for me, especially for situations like going from full sunlight (or office lights) to darkness.

I've tried many when I was on my flashlight kick, but I always seem to grab my Peak Matterhorn first. It's survived a couple of trips through both the washer and dryer, and hasn't failed me yet. A lithium Energizer gives it a long run time.
