Lighting » Fenix LD22

The Fenix LD22 is a great cheap solution for portable lighting. It requires 2 AA batteries that can be either alkaline or lithium to allow easy and quick power replenishment when on the trail. It is comprised of a rugged aluminum housing that is waterproof and shockproof. There are four brightness modes and an S.O.S and Flash mode available. I use two of them on my rig and I have yet to find myself in need of additional lighting. My only complaints are the length of the flashlight which makes it tricky to mount and the beam spread is focused less appropriately than purpose made bike lights. Overall they make great lights and I anticipate many years of happy use!

Last year I had the LD22 fitted to my front fork as my front light. I biked across USA on paved roads alone. After some 10 days or so, the light rattled apart: The electrical contacts in the light became damaged due to the constant vibrations. I had to throw it away.

That’s too bad Lucas. I really love my LD22 but had a similar problem with the contacts in the tail cap switch loosening up. I took it apart cleaned it up and re assembled it with no problems since. Also a Fenix Dealer can get you a new tail cap. If you still have the light try submitting it for warranty. Fenix is actually pretty good with that stuff. All in all I have owned 3 of these. Ld20’s to start and now the LD 22. Of the three lights only 1 had the issue but I have checked them all since.
