I just measured current draw on a freshly charged AW Protected RCR123, 1.57mAh.

These beam shots are using freshly charged AW Protected RCR123's.

The Hyperion CE-R got very warm while taking these beam shots. The Fenix P1D CE not as warm

I really like the UI of the Hyperion CE-R. The light remembers what intensity was set last.

The modes on my light are medium, low, high, strobe and blinking.

The bean is very smooth.

Excellent pictures as usual. You are number one! :bow:

My Hyperion has been shipped Monday (order #188) so I guess I'll have to wait a while....:sigh:

 

[nanotech17]

this little thing is heat up pretty quickly.
so what i did to cool it off?
i put it in the water about 3 feet deep and it cool off just for few seconds
lucky this thing is water-resistant

Is there visible PWM flicker under any circumstances?

Is there visible PWM flicker under any circumstances?

I am running an AW RCR123 and don't notice any PWM flicker at any levels.

 

[ernsanada]

The only drawback to the Hyperion CE-R is lanyard holes are drilled crooked.

 

[Weskix]

My holes are crooked as well, wonder whats up with that. Someone did not line something up right. Not a big issue to me though.

Bad QC.

Same as you, doesn't bother me.

Just got mine in the mail. Fit and finish, general quality, etc are nowhere near what the old Arc LS lights were, but it is bright, white and a good value.

I'm starting to think these are drilled this way on purpose. I'm not sure what the purpose is though. The reason I think so is because it is exactly the same way on the C-LE.

Is there visible PWM flicker under any circumstances?

There is PWM flicker on medium & low modes; I confirmed this both visually (by waving it about rapidly) and with an oscilloscope.
To wit:

This is medium intensity mode.

O, and the lanyard holes are drilled unevenly on mine too.
