New Fenix Digital Series! P1D and P1D CE with Cree XR-E !!

[dig-it]

I`ll hold off. More expensive than I thought and its not in my Christmas budget.

 

[Gnufsh]

I think it's too expensive for me as well.

 

[garageguy]

I'm holding off too, much more $$ than I had hoped for.

 

[RonnieBarlow]

YES! I'm in!

Looking forward to my first Cree-based light.

$70 for P1D-CE?...that's realy cheap!...
1,93 lumen per $ vs 0,32 lumen per $ given by HDS U60 what is your choice?
I did mine.

It will be interesting if Fenix decide to realise a 2AA body with cliky swicth or twisty action.
Would be great to get a level programable version with OEM fenix circuit or Flupic mod and TI body as CPF OR Special edition version.
David do you think or ask to Fenix if they have a plan for this feature in the future?

I also think this is a VERY reasonable price when you factor in all the featueres and consider that there is NOTHING out there that even compares to this light.



Pre-ordered (or should I say Cree-ordered :laughing: ) mine.

Pre order in. Can't wait:rock:

 

[Frank Maddix]

Hey, folks, please be nice and purchase one P1D CE. I see some folks buying a whole bunch.
Be nice and share please.

4Sevens, would it make sense to have some kind of quota? (e.g. order 1 get 1, order 5 get 2, order 10 get 4 etc.) until supplies have stabilised?
Anyway, I am sure you will do the best you can for your customers as usual.

What did you hope for then? This is the only option Fenix has, the Cree is 'better' then a Luxeon, hence the increased pricetag. Cost of the emitter has nothing to do with this since Fenix still has to sell Luxeon lights. I think the pricing is pretty fair, it'll be a while before (if ever) there will be another MFG that will have a Cree based light of the same quality for less $$$...
Nontheless, I'm holding off too. Awaiting the natural P1DCE's. It was very tempting however. Luckily I'm in school now, without my Paypal password or CC#.

I'm in on the preorder. Glad to see that the CPF5 coupon works as well.

I really wanted one with the natural finish, but that is a good excuse to order another one in a few months.

Thanks to David (4Sevens) for making this happen and giving CPF members first shot at these.

 

[garageguy]

Well since the coupon works, I'm in!

 

[chadwide]

YES!!!!! got one. I knew checking this thread every couple of hours would pay off!

 

[Bomo]

This is tempting but still just being a flashlight 'enthusiast' I can hold off until the Cree shows up in a wider variety of flashlights. I must admit tho - the P1D-CE looks like the ideal EDC. Will anxiously be awaiting reviews on this. I suspect by the time my tax return comes in the dust should have settled pretty well.

 

[Colorado Fatboy]

Another P1D CE spoken for here!

I can't wait to get my hands on it.


:goodjob: 4SEVENS!

 

[dig-it]

I`m just not one of those that has to have the latest and greatest. I can wait till the supply overtakes the demand. I`m sure it`ll be a fine light.

 

[9volt]

The site took my pre-order, hopefully I made the first 200...

 

[sb0007]

Oh man with such posts, really very tempted to take out my cc and make a payment. But a big factor still influencing me is that I prefer to see the initial level to a low instead of normal.

My usage range from checking baby gal in the nite, so a low level is needed not to disturb her and blind myself.

Then a normal approx. 30-40 lumens for work related inspection. (of course this can be higher output but need to balance between runtime)

Oh.... temptations on trying this light first is in my mind again......

 

[ledvador]

David,
I get another question...
I don't know if it had already asked, does the P1D-CE get a reflector optimised for the XR-E or is it the same reflector as the P1D?

I guess this is a fitting 1st post. I just got my name on one. To bad there won't be enough to get for Christmas gifts. I didn't even think about using the CPF code... oh well.


I am newish to the flashlight craze but it seems to me that $70 for a light with this kind pf output is great.

Happy Thanksgiving.
