Fenix E01

[portezbie]

just got one of these too there are very nice. Not mindblowingly brighter than the e0's, but they are brighter and much whiter. However, the beam is a bit smaller.

I find it's much easier to see the difference in ceiling bounce. I can see a major difference between the E0 and E01 then. Much more difference between the E0 and the E01 than it is between the E01 and L1D rebel 100 on low. So it must be close to 10 lumens.

oh you guys with all your tests and stuff.

Thanks guys now I have just bought one!

Only one?? :laughing:

Only one?? :laughing:

Haha. I already have black, olive, and another olive on order. And when the colors become available, I'm gonna get at least one of each.

I have a black and olive one too. I'm going to buy 2-3 more black/olive combos, and keep the best black one and the best olive one. The 2 i have now are good, but the black one is a little ringy on one side of the beam. It just ruins it all for me :mecry:

If you look on this curve from the LED lumen testing thread:

You will see efficacy is about 95 lm/W at 20mA drive current, which is what the E01 runs at IIRC.

(0.02A)*(3.7V)*(95lm/W) = 7 lumens

In order for the GS to produce 10 lumens, about 35mA drive current would be necessary. That would lead to probably 1/2 battery life on an alkaline, and maybe 90%+ loss in LED life.

i have an orange one on the way for my wife. maybe i should have ordered 1 for myself at well.

My preorder Olive shipped last Saturday, but I've already received a black one. I'm quite happy with it. Small, nicely built, inexpensive, puts out a useful amount of light and great runtime. I'll buy a couple more for myself and several more for gifts.

Here's mine with the Chapstick cap diffuser. :thumbsup:

 

[KDOG3]

Just got my Black and Olive today. Meh. Theyr'e ok. But not great. I love the finish, size, and the regulated runtime. The output on the other hand is kinda dissapointing. Really blue and not as bright as I was expecting from all the beamshots and hype. Oh well. I'm using Energizer lithiums in these. I'm gonna have to try that chapstick diffuser trick, looks like it would make and excellent camp/tent light. Still make a good gift for my nurse gf and her 7 yr. old son. I may give her my E1B since I have an E2D LED on the way. We'll see.

Any word when the orange/blue will show up?

Hasn't anybody cracked open a head yet? This is hard to believe - any cpfer worth his salt would be trying to open the thing as a matter of course.

*NEW* Pocket Clip?

I tried one Fenix clip on my E01. It fit near the head, but would need rebent so it doesn't rub while twisting the head. It wanted to slide off the tail area. It may have just been a loose clip, I don't know. I'm sure I could get it to fit just right with 5 minutes and a pair of pliers if I so desired.

Marduke ... did you use this *NEW* Pocket Clip or the older one? I don't know the old one, and i don't know how "new" it is. Fenix calls it "new".

A Picture would be nice...

That's the only one I've ever known about.

 

[Lichtikus]

o.k. thx. I will order this clip at Fenix-Store.

Me thinks I'm going to go cancel my order and sit back and watch for a while.

Ooops, too late. The olive one shipped.

I've got a couple of those and don't think they're up to the quality of the light.

I'm using a clip that has a Browning logo on it which I took off of my Zero Gravity light.
You can kind of see it in my avatar.
