Complete Fenix P1D Confusion

[Albinoni]

A while back I bought a Fenix P1D torch here in Perth, WA. I choose this little bugger cause of its size and output it gives out plus I use it alot in my job. Now I know for sure mine has the 5 modes but I am confused to whether it's a Fenix P1D Premium Q5 or P1D CE. Also I know mine does have the Cree 7090 XR-E LED, but the Q5 I believe also uses that same LED. The only thing is mine doesnt have the small Premium Q5 print written on the barrel head just near the glass, but were there Premium Q5's made that did not have this writing and perhaps the 2nd generation did.

Forgot to ask but which is the Fenix website that offers free shipping worldwide ?

AFAIK the Q5s have Premium Q5 written on the side....

www.4sevens.com

is the place to go..

Ok thanks for that. So whats the difference between the Q5 and XRE, I mean really isnt the Q5 an XR-E ?

Also will 4sevens accept Paypal ?

Cant help you ID-ing your light mate, but I think this is the site you mean:
http://www.fenix-store.com/

P1 CE on left. Notice the brass ring between the head and body. Only one level of light. Mine has been run over by two cars after I dropped it in the street and it still shines like it was new.

P1 D Q5 on right. "Premium Q5" displayed on head. Five levels (med, high, low, strobe, sos)

Hope this helps.

well, effectively 4seven.com and fenix-store.com are the same place, just under differnt names, resumable cos 4sevens (also a member here) owns both, started a new one, cos a place called fenix -store was selling a majority of nitecore/olight etc stuff....

The P1D XREs are basically older bins. THey go anywhere from P4s to Q2s. In fact last i heard, 4sevens said that most of them were Q2s by now, as P4s were starting to be hard to find anyway.

I seem to recall the earlier PID-CE as being rated at 135 lumens max, as opposed to the Q5 versions 180 lumens. There's a noticeable difference in brightness between them, as I compared them earlier today prior to posting of the Q5 version to a buyer.

A review of the earlier version;

Ok thanks alot. Now mine has got 5 levels of light and it says P1D, I think your photos are slightly wrong. Like in my post I mentioned there was a P1D Premium Q5 and a P1D, your black one is your photo says P1 only. Also I belive the Premium Q5 only came with a OP reflector but dont quote me on that, where mine came with a smooth.

Also do we get a discount from here if you buy off 4Sevens ?

 

[BigusLightus]

These are both orange peel reflectors but only the P1D is a Q5.

 

[Crenshaw]

the earlier P1D- CE was rated 135, correct, but aparently, there were over performing P1D-Ce that were actually Q2s.

Im thiking that if yours as an OP reflector, and has no writing, its probably an older P1D, with either a P4 or up to a Q2 in there.

I paid for my P2D on fenix-store using Paypal, so I assume 4Sevens use this as well - I think they are both run by the same operator. My L2D has Q5 Premium on the head, but I have no idea about what the difference is between the CE and Q versions in tech terms.

I'm thinking about using the L2D head with an L1D or P1D body, but in the Fenix parts section of the website, it says L1D bodies are ONLY compatible with the L1D CE, L2D CE and P2D heads. I must email fenix store to enquire whether they fit the L2D Q5 heads too. Surely there is no difference in thread/size???

if the light is a q5 it will say on the side, and all the versions made (p4-q2 and the prem q5) have all been available in op and smooth reflectors.

yours good to go an emitter wont make a lick of difference on compatibility.

BigusLightus, I thought you had dropped you're P1 while mowing the lawn!
Good to know it still works.

P1 CE Q5 on left. Notice the brass ring between the head and body. Only one level of light.

Fenix never made a P1 CE with a Q5. 4sevens had some made up with Q2s.

 

[BigusLightus]

My error. Thinking I had two Q5s I misidentified my P1 CE as a Q5. I've looked at all my receipts and realized I do have two Q5s. One is natural color P1D above and the other is a P2D Q5.

Here is my problem: I have so many lights I can no longer keep track of them all. I promise to do better in the future.

Thanks

Reason I mentioned it, is because the OP is confused enough already.

I am 100% sure that when I bought my torch on the back of the box there was a black sticker with white writiing that said Cree LED XR-E 1050 or something like that (Premium Q5). But like I said it hasn't got the word Premium Q5 written on the head bezel and according to 4 Sevens Website all the Premium Q5's that were made or came out only came with a OP reflector not smooth reflector.

The silly thing is that I threw out my box :mecry:
