Foxfury Signature Tactical. This is my first review, after reading lots of review that helps me buying better and more reliable lights, I guess its time for me to contribute some to helps other as well. Hopes this helps!
(Above) Front View: 24 White LEDs and 2 sensors (i think) for autodim function.
(Above) Backview.
(Above) View from top. ON-OFF button is on the top left of the headlamp (when you are wearing it)
(Above) Lights UP! (using brand new alkaline batts)
(Above) Only half of the leds (12) lights up when batteries are low. And only 4 leds are on when the batteries gets really low. (sorry, don't have the time to wait till only 4 leds are on! :nana: Info is from the user manual) I guess only the 4 leds on the left hand sides stay lighted on when the batts get really low.
(Above) Battery compartment twist cap style with double 'O' ring on the battery tube. (those are UNIROSS
i know! 800mAh NiCd in red color and the yellow color cells are 600mAh Unknown Brand NiCd salvaged from cheap solar garden led light) Does anybody know if eneloops would fit?
My MAPLIN brand 2000mAh NiMh (here in UK) wouldn't fit in. Oh dear... another reason to get new rechargeables
(Above) Beamshots comparison LEFT: Foxfury with brand new alkaline batts. RIGHT: Fenix L2D-CE low mode with freshly charged NiMh. Pics with -2 Exposure. Notice the two green light at the bottom left of the pics, it is not green LEDs but from the PCB board where the white LEDs are soldered on. Distance from wall is 1 meter.
(Above) Another shot with same setup but at -3 Exposure. Distance from wall is 1 meter.
(Above) LEFT: Foxfury. RIGHT: L2D-CE in Turbo mode. -3 Exposure. Distance from wall is 1 meter.
(Above) Backview showing where the green light coming from.
What I like about it is that it won't give you bright blinding spot light when you are doing close up work like what my L2D-CE do, it gives you lots of flood light, its not a thrower either. I Have tried it on the basement of my house which is pitch black about 8 meter by 8 meter and I can use it to shine all around. But it have no mode to select, just full blast till your batts go low and low low. I hope that some day I would be able to bump into the Performance series and get to try it.
Let me know if you need any other view/ macro shots etc of this excellent headlamp. I have search through the internet and can't get any better/bigger/close up view of this and other light before I bought it. I'll try to help.
