3 modes vs 1 mode.

And more candela.
In short: MUST BUY FOR FLASHAHOLICS.
I hope there will be a black colored one soon.

Why o why did they set the low to 8 lumens :shrug:
I changed my old LD01SS with a 10 lumen low to a Olight I3S to get a low low mode of 0.5 lumens.

Once I decide I need nothing new and Fenix ruin my plans... *facepalm*

I've been looking at that LD02 version, now THIS thing...gr.

You should try the old incandescent maglite soitaire. Should be great for your needs.

Yes, it seems there is a new head construction in the older E05. In the older version, the head has two pieces: http://forolinternas.com/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=8853, but in the above pictures the head seems to be of only one piece

 

[grr]

Same as ld01 ss version :lolsign:

Yes, I'm a fan of lights with a moonlight mode, especially small lights. But it must be tougher to design or something, because it's still fairly rare. Or maybe most people don't want it?

The first Fenix in many years that really got my attention. Even if I hate cool white, I might have to get one...

Same as ld01 ss version :lolsign:

what is same?

The old E05 had a strange lens, with a hole in it, iirc. I can't tell from the photos on the Fenix site if the new version has a "proper" lens.

Hm, that's a good point.


P.S. At least there's no "hole", I think, from what I see.

I like the stainless steel vesion !
And I hope Fenix will release the LD01 stainless steel vesion too !

I don't believe that is it. Fenix, from what I have typically seen, has kept there lowest low to about 8 lumens. When other companies are able to include a lower low on their line it is about choice and what each company chooses to incorporate in their designs.

I see this as something Fenix decides to do but not because they are not capable of it. In a way it is the same as their choice to make their AA, AAA, CR123 (single cell) lights compatible with primary batteries only. It's a shame, as there are some that I would have loved to purchase if they were and had a lower low.

 

[grr]

what is same?
