    really? This is "turbo" mode?

    After playing more with the light: 1. Looking at the spill beams helps a bunch. The hot spot is not nearly as noticable in light changes as the spill. This is true for both outdoor distant lighting and ceiling bounce. The turbo mode (or just "high" if I mislabeled it) is brighter - no...

    really? This is "turbo" mode?

    Mine does not work in that manner. Just tighter is on looser is off. I'm using new CR123 primaries. I did notice that when I installed a weaker CR123 primary from another light, the settings did not work properly. With the new batt, things function as expected.

    really? This is "turbo" mode?

    Alright. So I have a good working unit. I think part of my perception problem is that the light has to cycle through "off" to get to turbo. If I saw regular mode and then turbo without off between them, the perception of increased light might be greater. Having the light cycle off sort of...

    really? This is "turbo" mode?

    Hello folks. Haven't posted here in years. I had a Jetbeam Jet I on my keychain for a long time. The switch is acting up and I wanted a new toy so I bought a Fenix P1D Q5. This is a very nice light overall, but I was surprised at just how little extra light provided on turbo mode. The first...

    emergency light for a school building?

    Actually, the good news is that we are not in massive violation of anything and have no legal situation to worry about at all. The emergency lighting works just like it should and is placed where it should be. We have multiple inspections by fire and police annually and we have personel who...

    emergency light for a school building?

    Wow. Lots of concerned people here. I didn't think I would need to elaborate on all the details of the school, but perhaps it would be helpful for some folks. These lights are not for teachers. School is in session in daylight only. All classrooms have windows. We had no problems at all...

    emergency light for a school building?

    The power went out in our high school last week. The students were great, but we did learn that we have an enormous amount of places with poor lighting - even in the middle of the day. Good thing my Jetbeam was on my keychain! My boss (principal) knows I'm a light guy and I volunteered to...

    Clarify the M1 please?

    Unreal. The T3 looks like it is anemic against the others. Thanks for the pics. Seems like an M1 with 2 stage and both reflectors would be a very versitile piece. i just can't get over the gains from the new emitter.

    Clarify the M1 please?

    I was looking at the review from Quickbeam here: http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/lumapower_m1.htm# I'm trying to get a handle on this light vs. my Inova T3. I bought the inova because it was a "throw monster" at the time. I like the light, but it seems like this M1 puts the Inova...

    What is the best light's U.I. you can think of?

    I have mentioned this in the past and I still think I like it. I would like a switch and ring around the switch that works like the power and volume knob in my Honda Accord. Power button (momentary) in the middle, then just instantly dial in the brightness with the thumb. You could set the on...

    1,000 lumens led ???????????

    Why would a "professional product" have such a return policy. Would the policy be different if the product were recreational or "non-professional?" This one isn't on my wish list.

    Why can't they make LEDs larger, thus brighter?

    Christexan, Although I certainly do appreciate the detailed analysis, I am surprised you did not mention the importance of the flux capacitor to dilate the outer electron orbitals as the excited sub atomic particles recede to lower electron states thus emitting various amounts of photonic...

    Sorry for being the broken record but...

    :grin2: Of course branding makes them brighter...just like if a bag says Prada it holds more stuff!
