I'd love to see one running off the user's choice of 1AA or 1x123, with some kind of piston or spring that accommodates both. For the 1AA, it would be bored so that neither AA's nor 123's will rattle inside the body.

Personally, I dont think Fenix will produce a headlamp in the near future. It's a completely different thing compared to a normal 'round' flashlight, also a headlight typically isnt made out of aluminium, what Fenix now uses for all of their lights.
And whats it with a single AAA/AA/123, a headlight needs to be practical, should be able to run it for a few hours flat working on something. For a normal flashlight, which a turn on and off frequent I dont mind changing the bat every (few) hour(s). On a headlight however that would really get annoying.

And I don't need Fenix to produce headlights, they are very good at producing little 'normal' flashlights, IMHO they should stay focused at that market. If PT would just make a Crea-pex.... :rock:

Just my $0,02...

I think it would be cool if Fenix or an aftermarket company came up with an aluminum headlamp body for the P1D head that holds the batteries horizontal and has a reverse clickie switch to make mode changes easier. 2xAA or 1xCR123 shouldnt be too hard to do

+1... i had a similar idea with a 1x123 surefire tube horizontal with a normal surefire bezel... suprisingly the weight is pretty light... the light just need to make sure it doesn't get too hot though :)

ahhh... Ideally ... 2 cree's


  • 1 narrow focus for throw
  • 1 wide focus for task
  • the ability to use them at the same time.
  • Same look and feel as the stenlight.
Off the deep end
  • incorporate batteries into housing or provide plug in for optional pocket carry.battery back
  • you could even... hinge the light housing to the battery housing so the light can unfolded flat for pocket carry.
  • ohhh and it needs to be around $49

YES.

I'd pay quite a bit more than $49 for that, though. :grin2:

Guys, sorry to leave you hanging, but thats all the info that I have (and am willing
to release at this point). Too much info released too early as I have learned
causes more trouble than not. Basically, I'm working on it. When things
begin to pan out, I'll be more than happy to release more info. As far as time frame,
I'm told around mid Februrary.
