for those with the new Fenix LD20, are levels really separated on new fresh battery?

[qip]

i remember my fenixs usually on new batteries the low would seem as bright as medium....are they still like that?

fyi i use L91 if thats a cause

Er, shouldn't be... the modes are regulated, right? I have a LD10, and low has always been low.

Low is low on my LD20 with fresh batteries.

I got my LD20 several months ago, but with fresh L91's low is as bright as medium. But I use Duraloops mostly.

IIRC L91s are 1.7v or something fresh, so the higher voltage will make the driver go into direct drive since the Vf of the LED is lower then the input voltage of the batteries. That could explain the higher output on low.

thats what i was thinking but wondering if fenix might have adjusted something

From your experience with the light, I don't think they have changed that.
