Hyperion CE-R

Does anybody have or know anything about this light, Hyperion CE-R.

Looks like a Jet Beam CL-E but use a CR123A or 16340 Battery.

Twistie.

Has the same UI.

Type III Hard Anodize.

$27.00 + $3.00 shipping.

Sold by Super Tactical, http://www.supertactical.com/unlimitshop/product_info.php?cPath=1_34&products_id=93

That does have JETBeam characteristics. Nice looking light.

I ordered one this morning and will let you know what I think about it when it arrives. My last shipment from Supertactical took about three weeks to get to me.

It is design and made by the same CL-E manufactory

Looks very nice! Looking forward to the review.

The modes are the same as the P1D-CE. If this one works on all modes with a 16340, then it's the new king, especially at half the price of a Fenix.

I just ordered one today. I will post info if i receive it before my holiday trip next sunday.

I just ordered one too, and will post comments after taking it for a test drive. Price shipped was $32, pretty darned reasonable if the light is as advertised.

Hyperion Multi-level 140 lumen OP Flashlight $35 (PICS) Anyone have one?

Does anyone have any first hand comments on one of these flashlights? (edit; It has been pointed out to me by a fellow CPF member that they are even cheaper here with worldwide postage for only $3.00) Seems like a pretty good deal. I like the OP reflector myself.

I posted this on a thread yesterday, https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/170066

Gosh that's beautiful. Can't wait for the initial reviews...!

That will teach me to do a search before creating a new topic. Thanks.

Pls. post a review once you guys get the light. I do like the design.

P4 Cree? I wonder if this light is modder friendly?

Does a P4 cree has a better tint than Q2 or Q5 ?

I`m gonna get this light if the review is +.:thumbsup:

Of course I find this light a couple days after I ordered a Jetbeam CL-E...

Looks good, and I'm assuming that it's very similar to a CL-E with more output on high.

I ordered one from Super Tactical on Sunday night. I had tried to order from Lighthound but adding it to my shopping cart indicated they didn't have enough to fill my quantity of one...
Hopefully it won't take too long to arrive and I'll give my impressions then. The machining certainly looks cool in the pictures!

Wow... just saw this thread and pulled the trigger.

If they made a CR2 light with a head the size of the CL-E, it would be my ideal light. It would have to accept primary and rechargeable cells, of course.

Even better yet, they should just update the circuit of the CL-E to properly handle 3.7V batteries, then they can sell CR2 and 2 AA battery tubes. I suppose you could even make CR123 and 18650 tubes, but it would look odd and be overly complicated because of their width.

This Hyperion light lists support from 1.0-4.2V, if that's actually true then I hope they can also handle AA cells and boost the voltage for them. Having a AA tube would be nice, but if it supports AA and they don't sell a tube I might try making one for it.

That is a really nice looking light! I like the small no nonsense form factor. If it has a decent regulator/converter it will be a killer light. I think this will be one to add to the collection. However, I like the Jetbeam remember last mode feature and wonder if this has it.

I also wonder if the Cr123 Jetbeam that is supposed to come out is not almost the exact same light since there seems to be a lot of copycat of the type of jetbeam lights (a lot of similar offerings from DX). Looking forward to reviews.

Looks great. That nice looking checkering is what people want for a good grip.

Hiya, the P4 bin is mostly related to output intensity. The Q bins being brighter, followed by the as yet unavailable R bins.
Tints have a seperate bin code which are usually something like WO or HO. They didn't specify the tint so it could be anything.

Take this image from their site for example. Its a reel of Q2 bin in WC tint.
According to the chromaticity chart, the WC tint should give a pure white with some variations of slightly cool cyan tint.
However, I just received one of their UltraFire Alpha C1 (review up soon) with these LEDs, and the tint is actually kinda warm/yellow.
So I'm not sure if they are really using WC tint emitters in these.
