This is a pretty expensive light but it is a much better alternative to the Mini Maglites I've used for years. I keep one in my camera bag and it is highly useful. It has two modes--standard and turbo. You will seldom need the turbo mode. In the standard mode, you have four settings--low, medium, high and SOS--obtained by lightly pressing the switch after clicking the light on. To get to the turbo mode, you tighten the headcap (it only takes about 1/8 turn). In this mode you have a very, very bright spotlight and an obnoxious strobe--also achieved by lightly pressing the tailcap button after clicking the light on. Basically, you will probably use the standard mode's low, medium and high settings the vast majority of the time.
It uses a single cell of the expensive but readily available 123A lithium batteries. They have a shelf life of 10 years so you can buy a quantity online for cheap and keep a supply handy. It's pretty stingy with battery consumption, unlike some lights that use these batteries.
If there is a downside to this little light it is that it is so small it's easy to misplace. It would benefit from a pocket clip. I carried mine in my pocket for a few days but stopped because it was getting beaten up from rubbing against my keys. A clip would keep it handy as well as secure. The other problem you might encounter due to the size would be if you have large hands. It's somewhat difficult to manipulate since the switch is slightly recessed and there's not much to grab onto.
This is a great little light. I admit that my favorite single cell light is the little Surefire E1b. But that light costs 2-3 times the price of the Fenix PD20 and only has a low and high light output setting. You get a lot of features in the Fenix. While the PD20 is not cheap, it has unbelieveable performance.
