I got both lights on my doorstep today...both shipped out last friday, the Fenix from torchworld.com.au and the Olight from batteryjunction.com I was suprised that the shipping from the US was as fast as from the state next door(Victoria). but anyhow onto the lights...
The Fenix E01 came with a free strawberry chuppa chup which i will enjoy later...along with fenix diffuser tip and red filter cap which i also ordered. The fit and finish of the light was as expected as good as my other fenix's although the threads like my L0D RB80 seems a little loose when screwed out past the o-ring(probably because of the small size of the light). Also the LED was slightly off centre...i guess its abit hard not to be when theres only 1/2 mm of space to jiggle around with. The Led also seems to be abit too far in...as only about half the reflector actually seems to be reflecting light directly from the led. Outputwise it seems slightly brighter than the L0D on low although the spill isnt as wide it is brighter and the hotspot is "oval" shaped like others have describled and is bluish with a yellow ring and yellowy corona around it but it should be useful long running light none the less! (although its the light wont be mine for long!)
Now onto the 2008 Olight T10 Q5...It came nicely packed in a box full of foam bits. The Olight box was actaully smaller than i thought it would be...the same size as the Fenix box although the light itself was slightly buldging out of it. The fit and finish seems identical to Fenix's. But compared to my P1D CE it doesnt feel as solid/heavy. The threads were a little rough and needed cleaning and relubing and also my protected rcr123 were a little tight. The modes and output seems nice although it doesnt seem as convenient when changing modes as i've only ever had pure twist or click lights...could need some getting used to. The beam is nice and tight compared to my P1D CE w/SMO but it's dark cree ring has been transformed into more of a wide dark band with a faint yellow ring at the edge of it...you could say that the textured half of the "deep" reflector has spread the ring out more evenly. The spill isnt as wide, probably due to the deep reflector but it is bright. The hotspot seems to have a small donut hole smack in the middle of it and it seems to be visible at all distances on a wall...hopefully it wont be as visible in actual use.
Apart from the donut hole it seems like a great light and also the tailclicky is nice and soft! Anyone else see a donut hole in their Olights?
Also the Fenix diffuser and red filter lense fits on the Olight better than my Fenix P1D does...the knurling on the P1D makes it abit too tight!
I dont have time to take pics/beamshots now...i'm goin away on a camp tomoro...might take some there if i can!
