Ion - relative size pics? Where to buy?

[MikeLip]

I am for whatever reason having a hard time getting the relative size of the Ion through my head. So if someone can show it next to something a little more common, or in the hand, it would be nice.

Also, Fenix Store sells them and I'd like to buy from there, but they only seem to have them in black. There are cooler colors out there - any idea where I can pick one up that is NOT black?

I'll buy black if I have to I suppose (*grumble, grumble, snort*)!

does this help

 

[MikeLip]

Yes, thanks! Now, anyone know where I can get one that is NOT black?

Hi Mike,

Here are a few pictures........I would post a "Want to buy" and specify an "original" (has a very floody Cree), or an "XRE Cree (more throw and brighter but still nice spill)

CR2 Ion on Right is original, Left XRE (LED's on picture above this!!)

Here is a size comparison of a CR2 Ion XT and an elephant, lol.

Oh, thanks! That sure helps! I always keep an elephant around for size comparisons!

I will do that - thanks! Wow, that thing is SMALL! Just what I want!

Oh I forgot - your other question was "where can I pick one up that is NOT black?"

Well, they are mostly gray, not black. You find them all over the place in Africa. I don't know about picking one up though - a bit heavy at ~6 tons fully grown lol.

What would we do without moderators always pitching in and helping out

I'll pass - three back surgeries is enough!

We aim to please, lol.

There's a red CR2 Ion f/s in the Marketplace here.

Is it true that Ions, sometimes, give some problems, or break easily ?

Wow makes me want one!

I've got a natural in perfect condition and it does NOT have any of the flicker issues that some of the Ions have. It's always difficult to get an idea of the size of lights regardless of how many pics you see of it and even next to known lights until you get one in hand. They always seem to look bigger in pics. I'll PM you about the one I have as I promised I would sell it.

NO, I have (2) Ti (original and XRE) and have had another Burgundy
(orig).......

There were some issues of flickering with specific batteries, initially and i believe that some switching and or flickering issues that are fixed with cleaning threads, lubing and or adjusting snap ring on "light engine", I surely wouldn't say "break easily".........I and most others that have seem very satisfied. The new Nautilus is exceptional (from Endeavour, as well).

If there is a problem, Endeavour will certainly take care of it. (in my opinion and experience).

Mike: I've got a handful left in Natural here that are brand new, if that suits your fancy.

Illum_the_nation: How did my picture end up on imageshack? :thinking:

I'm sorry...I had it saved to my computer without a name
Should I edit it out?
