my new red (not really) Fenix L0D Q4

[mrQQ]

Hello,

i've ordered christmas special from fenix store.. and, well, i'm not quite as happy as i was with L2D 🙁

biggest problem? is that the color of all 3 parts doesn't match! then, it's not really red! it's mostly brown, with one part being very bleak red. and it got glue stains on it 🙁

here are some photos:

Resell it as the "Mars Copper Edition" or somesuch..

Looks like the exact same color as mine, although mine seems to be consistent across the parts.

I think you did a better job than I did at capturing the true color, mine looks quite a bit more red in this picture than it does in real life.

That IS a bit of a mis-match. Maybe Fenix is almost out of the holiday edition and is just using whatever they have. Still, you should be happier once you turn the light on! You just might receive a worse tint and/or beam for the price of a nicer looking color. If the looks really bother you return it for another one but IMHO it's still a great little light and should serve you well!

Once you ding it around on your keychain it won't matter. I don't remember many reports of it actually being red for anyone. More coppery, orangy brownie. The five I had were relatively consistent in color. The small differences didn't bother me once I turned on the light.

Mine isn't perfectly colour matched either, but it doesn't affect the output and therefore doesn't bother me at all 🙂

If it has a good tint, I'd keep it.

The three parts on mine don't match either, though the diffrence is more subtle than yours. (I adjusted the saturation to make it appear as accurate as possible). If you are too upset about it then you should get a replacement (but be quick, I think some places are selling out). I can't see the glue in your picture, did it come off? Is it very messy?

Personally I can live with the slight imperfection, and as it gets worn in use it will matter even less.

Yeah, i managed to remove the glue, so that one is fixed.

I guess i'm just upset because i really liked the "screaming red" color that it looked in phots..

as for color mismatches.. well, they do bother me, somewhat, and i would replace it, but shipping it back to US would cost me 25$! 🙁

so i guess i'm stuck.

Why don't you sell it on BST? I know many would buy it. Shipping could still hurt, but maybe if someone closer buys it.

I'd buy it, but I figure shipping to Canada is about the same as the States...
