Any rumors as to when we will see a fenix mc-e or p7 light?

[sol-leks]

I just keep looking and hoping......

 

[Jarl]

It'll be MC-E if it appears, and a little while yet.

 

[Cydonia]

It is taking Fenix a long time to come out with one isn't it? I mean, there are quite a few P7 lights on DX for quite some time. Has Fenix dropped the ball?

 

[Jarl]

How long has the legion II been in the design and testing stages? Quality takes time.

As for has fenix dropped the ball, that's a different thread, but IMO, yes

 

[I came to the light...]

I for one am glad Fenix didn't rush out with a light as quickly and clumsily as DX. Hopefully they will soon release a MC-E flashlight that shows the time put into it.

There is a rumor that there will be a proto Fenix MC-E at SHOT.

It's a rumor I just pulled out of thin air a few seconds ago!

 

[Hooked on Fenix]

I'd like to see a P3D with a Cree XP-E. Those l.e.d.s have R2 bins in production quantities. An MC-E or P7 would only work for the T and TK series as they need more heatsinking. They may be waiting for Cree to produce those 161 lumen/watt Cree XR-E's in production quantities to put those in. Currently, there's nothing higher than Q5 and R2 bins available. I can't wait for them to put one of those 161 lumen/watt l.e.d.s in a P3D or L2D. I want a 300+ lumen pocket rocket that doesn't cook the l.e.d. or burn through batteries. A three ounce light nearly as bright as a million candlepower spotlight is very appealing for backpacking, as well as playing around with without anyone finding out where the light came from.

Amen! I want it, but I want it to be good.

Past history suggests Fenix really isn't interested in lights using multi-emitter LEDs.

Well maybe semantics, but put multiple emitters on one dye and you could say you have a single emitter with 4 light sources... It's a 4 Core CPU; I mean LED.

I don't think they are avoiding the MC, but a good question for them at SHOT where the HOT! rumour is they will be talking if not showing an MC-E based light.

First let me say that Fenix is perhaps my favorite manufacturer and the service I receive from 7777/fenix-store is second to none.

But when it comes to dropping the ball, I feel they really passed up the opportunity to be a leader in the headlamp market when they designed a silly headband instead of an actual headlamp. But I am still hopeful that they will someday produce an actual headlamp.

I would really like for them to produce a multi-die light, but since they have nothing to offer, I've just ordered a Dereelight . . . .

Has Fenix dropped the ball?

No, they're just missing the boat. Along with others.

 

[jzmtl]

I think they aren't in a hurry to make one is because the market demand isn't big. I know I won't buy one if they make it.

 

[Yucca Patrol]

I'd buy one!

 

[Stress_Test]

I'd buy one too. I came close to getting a TK11, but got a TK20 in the meantime and I've been saving up until something REALLY groundbreaking comes out from Fenix.

Why not?
These new emitters are the cats *** when it comes to LED brightness:thumbsup:

 

[hyperloop]

completely off topic but Jetbeam has come out with an MC-E light, gonna get that and to bring it slightly back on topic, i will probably get a fenix MC-E light if they come out with it too

 

[Marduke]

Why not?

Yes and no. They are not magically brighter, they have the same efficiency as what we have today. That extra brightness means more power required.

 

[Thunderflash]

If its a P7 I'm in for one. In a P7 phase and can't get rid of it... :mecry:not too soon though or I'll go

 

[f22shift]

i would buy a headlamp also. i think there is a demand for the headlamp or at least very high markup because of the lack of competition.

they are very safe in their models and are really behind in the innovating.
i wonder how the market is split between all the chinese manufacturers.

anywho,
fenix is making those leatherman's now so i think they are more mainstream which is the way to make money.
