    Is my new Fenix LD01 Cree R4 faulty?

    Thanks for the suggestion tam17. I've tried changing modes at all sorts of speeds -- I'm fairly certain that it is cycling through the modes OK. It just seems that the modes first two modes are giving the wrong output. Whatever I do the first two settings are identical (and low) and the third...

    Is my new Fenix LD01 Cree R4 faulty?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried this and it unfortunately hasn't helped. Looks like l'll have to see what the retailer can do for me.

    Is my new Fenix LD01 Cree R4 faulty?

    Hi all I have just bought a Fenix LD01 R4 from an online retailer here in the UK. The medium setting on the LD01 seems like it will be great for general use and hopefully night hiking, the low setting perfect for reading and the high setting has surprising wow factor for such a small light...

    New 123 Lummi (MiL)

    I like the concept. Whilst I loved the design of the Raw models -- a great hand carry -- it's not quite as convenient for those pesky tasks that need two hands (like putting up tents in cruddy weather). So +1 for the clip on the reverse (removable clip or no? not sure what is feasible or what...

    Raw NS Ship Time

    I'm sorry to hear that a couple of people are have been unhappy with the service from Lummi. I sympathize. I hate waiting for internet orders to arrive by post especially when things are slower to arrive than I expect. I get particularly grumpy when there are delays and I feel that they could...

    Backpacking Light

    Re: Backpacking light ideas for new member? I'm into ultralight backpacking. Technology has moved rapidly in the last few years. It wasn't so long ago I carried a heavy Petzl Zoom with incandescent halgon bulb. These days I carry something much much lighter with a little less throw. I like...

    New Raw Al LTD 100

    Received my Raw Al today. I think it was worth the wait! Exceptionally bright and incredibly lightweight for the punch it can put out. Don't you just love something that really does the job it's supposed to?

    New Alu Proto >Orb

    Oh, is Rob taking payment for the Raw Al already? Did I miss confirmation regarding the price?

    Time for Another...

    I've just acquired a Wee Ti (definitely the highest price per gram I've paid for a light so I consider it too nice to put on a keychain at the moment – I carry mine in a shirt pocket. Maybe familiarity with it will change this, after all it is made from Ti so may be able to resist scratches...

    CPF Hikers/Backpackers: What lights your way?

    I'm increasingly trying to hike ultralight. I tend to hike in for a wildcamp on a Friday night, so only need a few hours runtime although I usually carry a spare battery. The last weekend trip I went on a few weeks ago I used my L0D RB80 running on a 1AAA lithium primary (+spare) and a...

    Any pics of Raw NS or Ti with 4 or 5 locaters?

    Nice sighting compass Rob unless I'm mistaken.

    How much does the Raw Ti weigh?

    Wow! The Raw Al seems just what I need. Count me in.

    How much does the Raw Ti weigh?

    Thanks for the clarification. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the Raw Al then!

    How much does the Raw Ti weigh?

    Cheers Mike, but I'm confused now! Are we talking about the convex/slightly bulbous new Raw Alu prototype Rob recently announced or is there going to be an aluminium (sorry, aluminum for the non-UK people) version of the Raw Ns? i.e. precisely same design but as the Raw Ns but made of aluminium...

    How much does the Raw Ti weigh?

    Southam eh.. the beam from my Raw Ns could probably reach you from here! I considered the original Raw for backpacking but understood that it lacked the o-rings of the Raw Ns series so wouldn't be sufficiently water resistant. Now, if Rob made sure the new alu Raw was watertight then I'd...
