matrixshaman said:Fenix P1D CE light price whiners :huh2: . 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:
$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.LuxLuthor said:

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?

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.EngrPaul said: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.
