Fenix Flashlight Smooth vs. Textured Reflector Comparison
The smooth relfector gives slightly more throw (the beam goes a little further), but there are dark rings in the output when the beam is shone against a white wall. The textured reflector gives a more even output, as shown in the beamshot pictures below. This image shows the smooth reflector on the left and the textured reflector on the right:
Beamshot comparisons
All beamshots are on turbo mode at 5 feet with standard batteries. The camera automatically compensates for the brightness, so the different models appear the same brightness in the beamshots below, but when viewed normally. These beamshots used Fenix flashlights with the normal Cree LEDs, but the output from the Cree Q5 LEDs looks the same, just brighter.

Notes:
- Specifications including output are from the manufacturer
- The single levels lights provide a brighter beam while the battery is fresh, and a very low output when the battery is mostly depleted. The dual level lights also have a much lower level output when the battery is mostly depleted, but this is not reflected in the chart.
- The two levels on the L1S, L1T, L2Pv2, L2S and L2T are controlled by twisting the head of the flashlight. On and off is controlled by the tailcap switch.
- The L0D and P1D digital models are controlled by turning the power on and off rapidly to change modes. The modes are in this order: Primary - Low - Max - Strobe - SOS
- The L1D, L2D, P2D and P3D digital flashlights have two modes of Texturederation turbo and normal, controlled by twisting the head, and different levels in each mode controlled by turning the power on and off rapidly. With the head tightened all of the way down the flashlight produces max output (turbo) followed by strobe, loosen the head slightly for general mode, with three lower levels of Texturederation plus SOS.
