You sure you switched on the P1D-CE? :lolsign:

Locked and loaded with a RCR123.

Ernsanada, nice work, thank you very much. Frankly, they BOTH look really good to me. After the slicing and dicing this latest breed of lights has taken, I am really looking forward to what's coming around the corner.

 

[LowTEC]

alright then, I made up my mind, if my P1D-CE is not showing up by Monday (24th days of waiting), I will cancel the order, no point pay much more for a inferior light with unknown waiting period Hope my silver Dmini shows up by then :laughing:

Sign me up for one "orange peel" reflector! VERY nice!

 

[jay33t]

I will take an "orange peel" reflector also. Tell me when I can order.

 

[Perfusion]

I was just turned on to this light by fellow CPFers in the LED section, and I have 1 question - is the light only available in black now, or is there an option to order it in the polished look like in the pics on page 1?

 

[TigerhawkT3]

Yep. It's clear-anodized Type II. Just tell Lumapower which color you want when you order.

 

[Marlite]

I just received the Lumapower Lumacraft D- Mini Cree. Shipping took 5 days to Socal!

Fit and finish is excellent. Machining is excellent. No flaws in the anodize II.

Comes with extra o-rings, pouch, lanyard, reverse clickie and GID Rear Clickie cover.

Mine landed in Crown Point, Indiana today. Like it a lot! It really does throw, my only led light that can out-throw it is the space needle. I found that with mine, if i rotate the reflector, I can make the hotspot have a small hole in it, but I can just as easily rotate it out of that condition. I'm happy with it, and will wait patiently to learn more about obtaining a orange-peel reflector as well.

Excellent pictures ernsanada!

They show how the OP reflector makes for a larger more mellow hotspot.

Would it be to much trouble to ask for some beam shots of the DX1?

:bow:

Thanks in advance,

Thanks ernsanada,

I'm looking for throw lights right now because I have enough "smooth beam" lights for the moment. :duck:

I think I will wait until Lumapower offers up a smooth reflector and than I will jump on the DX1.

Thx for the pics ernsanada - great review. But I agree that there must be some sort of digital camera issue in picking up the sidespill on the P1DCE - the last image is misleading.

I have both lights as well, and the PIDCE definitely has a lot more sidespill than the D-mini. According to my light meter and a milk carton lightbox, the overall output of the P1DCE on high is about 20-40% brighter than the D-mini (depending on battery). However, the D-mini out-throws the P1DCE by 30-40% (again, depending on battery type).
