I got a Fenix P3D three months ago and it is the best flashlight I have ever seen. Surefire flashlights were once my gold standard. Now Surefire seems like prehistoric technology to me, in comparison to Fenix. The lowest setting on the P3D is more than enough light for most household tasks. And at 60 hours battery life time on low, I'm seriously wondering if I'll have to replace the batteries even one time a year! The Fenix P3D can also serve well as a self-defense tool on the blindingly high setting (which will also strobe with a click of the switch).

For those of you looking for a LED flashlight using AA batteries, I recommend River Rock AA light available at Target for about $27. You won't be disappointed!
