Personally, I like carrying a Fenix P1 on my keychain & a more "tactical" bulb light in my bag that I put in the car when I go anywhere. While the Fenix P1D is nicer & rated higher than my P1, I like the fact that I just need to turn the bezel for the light to go on (90 lumens) or off & don't have to cycle it to get to different settings (A pain, if you ask me).
I believe some comments were made on lumens not being equal. I'm not sure about that, but I've noticed that the lights with bulbs (Whatever the current ones are called these days) have better throw & may seem like they're putting out better light with the same rating than LED lights. That's why I usually carry a small LED on my keychain & then a more powerful "bulb" one with me separately for those times I need distance from my light.
Those little Fenix's are amazing, especially the P1 (P1D) & the LODs. So much light coming out of a single CR123 or AAA battery, it's amazing how far lights have gone, especially compared to when I started my LE career about 15 yrs ago.
