just ordered a olive P1D Q5

[jbosman1013]

I have been debating over a P2D and P1D for a while now but I made up my mind and got the P1D. After I placed my order I realized that I forgot to chose the color of my new light, so I called the fenix store in hopes they would change it for me. The REP. I spoke to told me that fenix was not making lights in natural finish anymore and that they were being replaced by the olive finish. :twothumbs After telling me they only had black he paused and said the magic words "a new shipment" of olive P1D's just arrived so I had him change it to olive. I can't wait for this light It will be my first single cr123 light and my second fenix.

Same thing happened to me when I ordered my P3D. I meant to order Olive, did so by picture alone, and ended up with Natural on my order. I called the Fenix Store and had no problem getting it changed. They're wonderful to deal with.

A P1D with RC123 (3.7v) will work but will have no low mode, as I recall. 3.7v is too high for it and the circuit is made to boost, not reduce the voltage.

I use rechargeable CR123A batteries in a P1D CE Q5 with no issues re modes. I read somewhere the max voltage for P1D CE is four, so I usually make sure the battery is 4V or under. No problems so far

How is that Olive finish? Tougher than the black?

The low and medium modes produce "turbo" output on an RCR123.

Congrats on your purchase. My wife now carries a P1D and she loves it. It is a great light. I am disapointed to hear they are discontinuing the Natural finish. I for one like that finish a lot. Both my wife and my father carry Fenix now with the natural finish and I think it has a more expensive look to it plus it doesn't show scratches like the Black. Never fails.
