My experience with Fenix lights (AA versions) has been mixed. They are VERY bright and very efficient in battery usage. But out of the four I own, one suffered substantial problems. It didn't fail entirely (high mode still works) but it lost low mode and nobody can give me an answer as to why. That has punctured my confidence. I still use them, but I make a point of having a backup light.
Hey dougwalkabout, my sisterīs Fenix L1T V2.0 was from one point gradually loosing the low mode for several days. Today the low mode stopped working - I could only use the high mode. I was worried that this was the same case you had described. Then I tried to replace the battery (Alkaline) in it with fully charged NiMH and the low mode started to work flawlessly. I donīt know if itīs normal but I am glad that it was just because of the battery running out of juice. I will try to find out if itīs normal or not.
Possibly unnecessary question but - have you tried to replace the battery with a new fully charged one (and maybe with other type of the battery - Alkaline vs. NiMH etc.) and test the low mode? Maybe the Fenix is sensitive to the amount of the remaining power and for some strange reason turns off the low mode at some point. Anyway I am not flashlight specialist so maybe others can comment on this.
