New Fenix Digital Series! P1D and P1D CE with Cree XR-E !!

It's gonna be really tough for me to wait 2 weeks for my P1D CE to arrive. I may have to pitch the tent out by the mailbox.
 
Fenix P1D CE light price whiners :huh2: :twak:. I'm having a hard time believing my eyes unless you thought you were going to influence the price. This is probably one of the best deals in the world on a high tech flashlight. Small size - great features and brightness levels with the newest brightest LED available on the planet (barring any higher bin codes which are scarce as hen's teeth right now). I actually pegged the price exactly before it was announced at $70 and I thought that might be wishful thinking. YES - technology related items always get better and cheaper every year (or month) but I challenge anyone to find a better overall deal on a light at this time. If you do let me know 'cause I want to buy it. And I think you'd be hard pressed to find a dealer that is much better to buy from - so for the whiners :shakehead: :nana:
Seriously - I respect everyone's opinion and we are all entitled to one but I think this deal :rock: :rock: :rock:

I really don't have anything to say but I knew you guys would like to read my sig about my cousin's new big screen TV. It's a 32 incher. Oh, and my dog had puppies.
 
Well, my luck has improved ... Order Number: 6335

Not sure what the problem is ... $70 is a great deal if it works.

I'm taking a gamble that the new switch solves the intermittment contact problem so many of us have had with the P1. When the P1 work (and mine just stopped) -- what an amazing little light. I have high hopes.

$3.25 is for the 3.6v 800mAh ones, the 3.0v 650mAh ones are $5.75, $1.65 for postage. takes about 3 weeks for delivery. great seller, outstanding customer service, but dont rely on their tracking info. it tends to contradict itself. ive got 8 of the 3.6v ones and theyre fine. hopefully the 3.0v ones will work in this light.
47s, so do you reckon youll have the natural coloured ones come january? will there be a pre order on those?
 
OK,

I got in the preorder P1D CE

please give me the low down on which rechargables and charger i need to maximize this light, I'm behind the knowledge curve on protected/unprotected, 3v/3.7v, as well as chargers.

just tell me what to order and where to order it

thanks guys
 
I just received this email minutes ago. Does it mean anything special? My order is before the cutoff.

The comments for your order are

Your order has been updated to the following status.

New status: Back-order
 
Ok folks don't freak out... "back-order" just means we received your payment, but it
has not been shipped out.

How do you know if you're made it to the first 200? If your number is LESS THAN 6431.
I know this goes without explanation, but I've still had emails with questions.... 6300
is LESS than 6431, therefore, you are in the first 200. 6500 is GREATER THAN 6431
so you are NOT in the first 200. Clear now? :)

Also, if you didn't make it in the first 200, don't worry, you're in the queue.
If more are shipped to me (and it is possible, but please please don't email or PM me
and ask). IF more are sent to me before January, I will ship them in the order that
the orders placed. However, it's probably not very likely you'll to get it before
christmas even if I ship before January.

HOWEVER, those in the first 200 should get them before the 25th. Is this clearer or
are we still in muddy water?

I really prefer questions posted here so I can address them once. I've spent the
better half of the day replying to similar emails. :D And once again, please
read the first post with the Q&A before posting :)

. There are 2 types of regulator, linear and switching. I believe this has a switching regulator that controls current like you say. Switching regulators have to use PWM of some form. With a freewheel diode and inductance and a high enough switching frequency the current doesn't pulse...it makes a tiny triangle wave around the dc current level. As the current is effectively continous the light is continous...not pulsing (even it was pulsed way faster than can be perceived). It still employs PWM, you just can't see the PWM wave form because its been filtered."


Thank you for the education....

I think I understand what you are trying to say.

Perhaps we should use another term like "pulsing" - but then most regulation circuits are also pulsed - since they are by your definition PWM... right?.....

Then since almost all current regulation uses some form of PWM - then why is anyone objecting to PWM?

I am not arguing either - the reality is that some lower output levels is done by pulsing which is visible and people commonly call that PWM -

So if no pulsing is visible (under all conditions) - do we have to insist it is still PWM to be technically "correct"?
wouldn't that then just become confusing? ........
or should this colloquial usage be allowed to stand? :) ;)

Again not argueing, but not all current regs use PWM, some are linear (kind of active active resitors).

PWM is the method used to adjust/modulate a fixed maximum voltage or current to average of a lower one, PWM applies even if you can't see the pulsing with your eyes. In my opinion there is good PWM implementations and bad (ones you can see flickering). I can't stop people using a colloquial definition, but personally I rather they didn't. I don't see why the term PWM should be used to describe bad lights when it can be used to create good lights (A good example being the Fenix P1D CE :) ). Its alot like motor controllers that also use PWM, some use frequencies at the audio range, in which case you can hear the windings in the motor buzzing. Some use higher frequencies out of audible range, the motors don't buzz (to humans at least). Both use PWM.

I can't think of an alternative label though to highlight good from bad apart from good and bad. I don't know if switching sounds better to a layman? Would people automatically associate that with flickering?

Is there any way to put a 2xAA body with tailcap clickie on the P1?

This would give 2X the runtime and make the P1 more tactical.
 
Does the Fenix Store give Flashaholic members a discount? If so, what the the Promoation Code?
 
I decided to go ahead and pre-order one of the P1D CEs (Order # 6592).
It'd really be great if David does get more than the 200 and can ship before January.

You mean the P1D, don't you? If you really mean the P1 all you would need is an L2T. I have them both and they are nearly identical in output.

Oh, and I was order #20 on the CE. For those that slept in.. eat yer hearts out! :nana: :grin2:
