Fenix is great for the price
I have the pd35, after having owned many Chinese repros and Chinese "originals"

The pd35 was close to 10times the price as the Chinese stuff (all the "something fire " for instance), but totally worth the monies

Chinese lights, they work, they're bright, but aluminium is so soft that you risk to strip the threads every time you screw the switch back on

The switches are so finicky that a small shock risk to unsolder the connections, resulting in a dead switch, or a switch that will intermittently turn on/off or change mode as you shake the light

And I'm not even talking about heat management and quality of the led driver

In short, I had tens of Chinese lights at 10-15$, even 30-40$; none worked well more than a year or two, some failed in their first week

I got the Fenix PD35 for about 100$
-120$ with pressure pad for more than 4 years now and it work as if it were new

Food for thoughts!
