More Fenix Digital Lights - L0D CE and L1D CE

[4sevens]

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone is having a warm New Years eve!
Meanwhile, the Fenix R&D department has been busy as they usually are.

They have released some exciting preliminary specifications as well as prototype
pictures and beamshots of a few upcoming Fenix Digital models.

These Digital models sport not only microprocessor controlled multi-level
operations, but they also utilize the leading edge Cree XR-E LED.

The Fenix L0D CE and the Fenix L1D CE will be available sometime in January 2007.

On to the preliminary specifications:
*****
Fenix L0D CE

Uses Cree 7090 XR-E LED

Uses a single AAA battery

Has the same look as the Fenix L0D

Three brightness levels (PWM), plus Strobe and SOS
20 Lumens(3.5hrs) -> 7.5 Lumens(8.5hrs) -> 50 Lumens(1hrs) ->Strobe -> SOS

The max brightness is about 55 lumens

Textured reflector

Twist switch

Type III hard anodized finish

Black color

*****
Fenix L1D CE

Uses Cree 7090 XR-E LED

Uses a single AA battery, including protected lithium-ion AA-sized batteries

It will look similar to the L1T, with subtle differences

Six brightness levels (current regulation), including strobe and SOS

They will come in two flavors:
general series: 18 -> 40 -> 74 -> SOS
turbo series: 85 -> Strobe
(I'm getting clarification on these modes right now - this is simply what they
provided me)

The maximum brightness is about 85 lumens on common AA's.

When using the li-ion battery, the max brightness is about 135 lumens.

Digital Current regulation

Textured reflector

Tail cap push switch

Type III hard anodized finish

Black color

More good news! They do keep busy. Still hoping for a tail clicky CR123 version although I wonder if the L1D might take the CR123 tube? Happy and bright new years!

Fenix L1D-CE sounds great !

Will be watching this space for more info when available.


Thank you, 4sevens, for keeping us informed.


But, just to show my incredible self-control and willpower,

Can the Fenix L0D CE using the li-ion battery?

 

[coppertrail]

Are there any pricing details?

 

[Concept]

Looks like another light for the 07 list.

 

[X Racer]

L1D CE on a 14500 should be the bomb, but I am going to guess it won't have the different levels with them...

 

[Boomerang]

More good news! They do keep busy. Still hoping for a tail clicky CR123 version although I wonder if the L1D might take the CR123 tube? Happy and bright new years!

Agreed.

They should make use of that rear-end star (*), making it active so it can turn (in 60 degree increments?) to activate modes instead of the twist head technique.

How come **I** can think of this stuff and they can't?

Happy New Year, everybody!

4sevens: your last pic shows 4 levels, is the "max" level then with the li-ion I assume?
