    I think my new Fenix E05 stainless steel light needs to go back for an exhange.

    Sorry if this issue has been addressed before. If I don't use my E05SS for awhile, when I try to twist it on, the head is slightly difficult to twist. The cure is to twist the head past the o-ring, whereupon I hear a bubble of gas quickly escape, then all is fine. I am currently using just an...

    Fenix T1 - What is known about this upcoming light?

    Must be a very, very powerful light. Capable of "Father-throwing"! Gentle on the mothers...

    MRV - Forward Momentary/Constant On clickie?

    Lumapower was working on a forward clickie switch module as of a month ago, and I am sure that they will come out with one sooner or later. It seems their recent re-organization is delaying new product introductions temporarily. I just received the OP reflector for my MRV from BatteryJunction...

    GatLight V3 - Carbon Fiber / Titanium with Cree XR-E

    Yes! Size of a real Gatling gun. Runs on 1000 CR123's in a special series/parallel configuration, housed in a bulletproof carbon fiber tube. If one or a few cells go ka-boom, redundancy prevents an interruption in power to the 500 Rebel array (100 l/w diodes). Conservatively rated at 75,000...

    MRV at reduce price

    You are right of course, Matt - it is not intentional on the part of LP to punish the consumer for buying from an unauthorized dealer. But outside of those CPF'ers who have been reading this thread, how is a consumer who buys what appears to be (and likely is) a genuine LP product from an...

    MRV at reduce price

    Factory-Direct as in the ex-Lumapower China factory at which they just stopped operations, and paid off in MRV and D-mini inventory in lieu of cash. If I read Ricky's comments correctly, the production is being re-established in Hong Kong, so it may be awhile before the parts and products start...

    MRV at reduce price

    I am a bit bothered by this. A quality manufacturer does not put QC rejects into retail packaging and then let it get out the door. I'm not sure I believe this story. In Lumapower's response, they give mixed messages: counterfeit goods or substandard product - so which is it? "We did check and...

    My Flashlight gets Hot so It Must Be Good

    Good thermal path design absolutely does pull heat away quickly from the LED. The heat dissipation from the LED is a given. But take a look at the MagLED module for an example of the results of poor thermal conduction. The output of the LED drops to 50% of its initial brightness within just a...

    My Flashlight gets Hot so It Must Be Good

    I see quite a few posts where people say that the thermal management in their flashlight must be good, because their flashlight gets hot on high output. This is not an accurate statement! If your flashlight gets hot, then it is also very hot inside. Not good. If there is a good thermal path...

    Is this a good flashlight?

    Check out the new Pelican 7060 flashlight designed to specifications of the LAPD. Should be available in a few weeks on the consumer market. Read about it in the thread on this forum. Rugged, very bright, good run time, and good price on preorders through Lighthound to CPF'ers as well. Added...

    Limited Edition Q2 Fenix not as bright ?

    Comparing my P2D-CE to my P2D-CE-Q2, the Q2 version is putting out more total light - it lights up a small dark room better with its brighter spill. The hotspot on the regular P2D is brighter than on the Q2 when compared on a nearby wall, but I was surprised to find that, within the effective...

    New MRV Finishes

    In the dealer section, Matt has posted that the MRV is in stock at BatteryJunction in two new finishes: 1) Black HAII w/ "Pearl Nickel" heat sink 2) Dark Gray HAIII w/ "Black Nickel" heat sink I asked if the Black Nickel is polished shiny or not, but even if it is, IMO this is a step forward...

    LOD Keeps Falling Apart!

    I think the head on this one has defective threads. If I screw the head down tight, then back off just one full turn only, the head can be pulled off of the body with a pop. No wonder the head kept coming off. I will send this one back to the Fenix-Store for evaluation and repair/replacement...

    LOD Keeps Falling Apart!

    I came home today and saw an object on the ground right outside the front door. It was the head from my daughter's LOD-CE. I texted her at work and asked if she was missing something from her flashlight. She said that the head was missing for a couple of days. "It has happened about seven...
