Fenix P1D - Feedback
Fenix P1D-CE Black (Cree Edition), SuperBright 1XCR123A LED Flashlight (5 Output levels) - 135 Lumens
This is an insanely compact and powerful flashlight. It is almost the flashlight I have been yearning to have for years since I have owned Maglites for its durability and brightness. Nothing I previously owned comes close to this little titan!
It is great as I do a lot of outdoors and would like as little bulk & weight as possible. I'm not going to leave home without this with me.
I mentioned "almost" earlier as i feel the switch and selector modes can be improved but then again, sometimes KISS method reduces the points of failure.
All in all, I love this and highly recommend this product.

Good product, some drawbacks
Overall, a great product. No doubt the brightest flashlight I own, and ounce for ounce, one of the brightest around. While total output exceeds my older, large 4D luggable, the Fenix does lack a focal point for long throw. I've used it both for camping and nightly walks with my dog and enjoyed it. Having confidence in a light I can get rained on or even dunked is nice. For someone with big hands, it's actually almost too small to use comfortably in my palm. The difference between "normal" and "turbo" is minimal, and for most applications, normal is fine. I actually prefer the low setting for anything not requiring detailed attention. Low is more than enough for reading books in the dark and walks along flat trails or lawns.
Construction seems sturdy, fit and finish are high. The box it came in doesn't look much better than a lot of products at the dollar store, but the actual product seems pretty good.
The drawbacks are few, but noticeable. Having to cycle through output levels to find the one you want (low in most cases) is frustrating, especially when you don't want to annoy (or wake) those around you. Sometime you'll accidentally rotate the lens, switching modes unintentionally. The strobe and SOS pulse levels are superfluous for most people. Additionally, the key-ring clip and holster are pretty much an either/or. It's impossible to quickly stow the light in the holster or extract it if you have the clip attached.
Great gift for: -
Guy who already carries a multitool on his belt all the time.
Person who needs a quality light in tight places (plumber, repairman)
Lady who wants a quality light to carry in her purse (it's too big for pockets).
-Backpacker who needs something small, light and reliable.
-Proud early adopters willing to drop a few $$.
Not good for:
-Person who's not going to need a light more than every couple of months.
-Camper looking for a bright camp light (no candle mode).
-Bargain hunters (yeah, it's cheap compared to Surefire, but if you are stingy with your money, get a traditional incandescent like a mini-mag and get the LED upgrade).

Great light
I'm really happy with this flashlight. It's small enough to stick in my pocket so I find that I take it everywhere with me. And the brightness is pretty incredible for such a little light.

Good Flashlight but they make something better at about the same size
This is a good, bright flashlihght except the head of the flashlight constantly have to be moved around which is not an ideal design for a tactical situation as you have to use both hands to get the light to turn on. If you want a very bright flashlight thats small enough to go on a keychain I'd recommend the Fenix P2D Cree version. Its like a quarter inch bigger and has a nice clicker on the tail end so you can fiddle around with it with only one hand. I'm happy with it at least and its very bright and good on battery life.
