Lenser D14... anyone have one?

kramer5150 · Dec 24, 2009

I was at my local Frys the other day and they had a few of these.
-Four bond wire XR-E
-TIR optic (fixed focus)
-Cells changed by unscrewing the bezel from the plastic body

It caught my attention because it looked like the bezel could easily come apart, and might make a nice mod host.

Does lenser recommend not using NiMH cells in this light?
Is it a resistor DD like the other lenser designs?

Please refrain from off-topic discussions, I am only interested in this particular light... first hand user feedback would be great.

thanks

i have the 4xAAA version

its an 'ok' light,

feels and looks like its built to fail first chance it gets.

thanks.... I wonder if the XRE-4AA version has more metal & heatsinking than that.

Can it be taken apart easily? or is everything glued together?

thanks

Hey bud, there are two screws at the bottom of the pill......it looks like you can take it apart..........

My little one uses the light when we go to the beach during the summer and i can tell you now that is has been holding up, it has been dropped, banged, and dropped into the ocean.....glad i was able to get at it since the light was on. Too me the light is more diamond shaped, might be the cause of the optics though.
