the only thing that i didn't like about the fenix was that sometimes in my backpack belt pouch it would get inadvertently turned on because the button switch is somewhat exposed. they could have easily solved this problem be machining the tube to have the button recessed.

i solved the problem by adding a little ring cut from a 1" poly garden hose fitting. it is a perfect press fit on the tube over the button and it prevents the button being pressed when in your pack etc. never been a problem since. plus it's black and looks like it was made for it.

PM me if you get one. i'll send you a ring.
On every one of my Fenix lights, all I have to do is turn the tail cap counter clockwise a turn or so. You can click all you want it will never turn on when backed out.

Steve/Jason,

Sorry for the delay gents, I've been out of town.

Here are a handful of my lights:





Up top are Fenix HL 30s. Those are a great whitetail headlamp. 2 x AA. It has a separate red light to keep your night vision walking in to deer stands and does fine for blood trailing. This one CAN turn on in your pack/pocket.

In the center is the pair of Zebralights I always take with me to Alaska or any mountain hunt. On the left is a HF51 with the natural white light. Goes from very low to big time spot with a couple clicks. The one on the right in the center is an original Zebralight. It is what they now call the "floody". I use this as a camp light. It lasts forever and is good for reading and camp stuff but I don't like it for out in the field. I like more of a "beam" when I am out and about

Bottom right are Fenix LD20 &10 handheld and bottom left are a couple LED CR123s that I keep around for emergencies I guess.

And all of them save the HL30s have the safety of turning the tail cap out so the do not turn on accidentally. Most of the Fenix/Zebralight/Surefire/Streamlight and other higher end lights will do that.
