NEW FENIX MC10

[Woods Walker]

Zebralight? 😕

This looks a whole lot more like a Sidewinder than anything from ZL, IMO.

I think this has something to do with the photos of the MC10 used as a headlamp.

I nearly got the Pentagon Light coz i kinda like the shape of it and its functionality during hiking/camping but it isnt being sold at where i am staying..

And now Fenix comes out with this..and with the swinging head..and the good news is that, it is being sold at my area.. So if the price is right, i gonna go grab myself one...especially when i will be backpacking @ New Zealand for half a year or so.. Woo hoo...!!!

Re: NEW FENIX MC10 (Aardvark)

Ugly Schmugly! Ugly doesn't exclude cool. Example: Lyle Lovett

I'll be buying the Aardvark and flying the fugly flag proudly!:twothumbs

i think its the orientation of how the user in the picture has the flashlight strapped to his forehead, with the body horrzontal and the led on the left and the batt tube to the right. other than that nothing else reminds me of a zebra light...

I maybe get one in yellow for my car.

edit:
Uses one 1.5V AA battery (Alkaline, Ni-MH)

Lithium?

 

[HighLumens]

Primary lithium (L91) or Li-Ion (14500)??
I smiled the first time I saw it, but I think it's quite good looking 🙄...

 

[Crenshaw]

it does look more like a sidewinder, but i think comparisons come from more the zebralight being more widely used here than the sidewinder

Actually it is more like Cree R2.

Cree R2 = 114-122lm/350mA
Osram GDP+ LX = 112-130lm/350mA

Thank you for that info. I am somehow wanting this light. Any guess from those in the know about LEDs as to why Fenix went with this over a Cree Q5-R2?

 

[dudu84]

This light has both beam options for throw and flood (with diffuser), a swivel head and more output than H50/H501.
I think it's gonna compete well with ZL, main differences are size, look and price.

I don't know how warm the OSRAM led they use is, but they better offer neutral white LED for a CAMPING headlamp!

 

[Woods Walker]

I guess it depends on the nebulous headlamp application in terms of just what the mounting options are and comfort. In terms of comfort nothing beats a ZL in my view. I like warm tint and have a few lights with 5A but around camp I mostly want runtimes etc. Still warm tint rocks all the same. 🙂

Reading over the Fenix MC-10 naming contest rules, the prize section states:

"1. Award:
1.1 The first prize: TK30or TK40 5 prize winners
1.2 The second price: MC10 50 prize winners
1.3 The third price: E01 100 prize winners "


Anyone else caught that? What TK30?? There is no TK30, at least not yet...
:shrug:

TK30 sounds like 3x18650 parallel, sst90 thower monster. Just an idea..

No more mce/p7 flashlights please.

I like the look of it. Then again I think most of the usual. "tactical" design lights are awful.

It looks just a bit too big for headlamp use, though, unless a 6 year old kid is holding it in those pictures.

It is listed as 53.5 grams with a lenght of 99mm.

The newer model LD20 (with clip I guess) is 54-grams (1.8ish oz?) with a length of 100mm. Don't know if that is for the light tipped up or level. Guessing the hawk like bezel shape would add some size too but somehow thinking the guy has small hands. Toss in using the crazy blue one for the shot and the rest is history.

:shrug:

I'm sure they meant to say "TA30"......

Though if the TK30 is my TK50 I have been whinging about wanting for some time... boy am i exited lol

Some how I think it can use the same batteries as the rest of the line up. The only other maker's web site I seen with more messed up info would be PT's.

 

[Deleted member 14754]

I just voted and went with Aardvark as well....LOL

 

[woodrow]

I really like it....It reminds me of the Pixar light at the beginning of the animated movies (not sure why..but it does)...To me, it looks more cute than ugly. I am hoping this light will be a great gift light to make a flashaholic convert out of a sceptic. I would also bet there will be a "how many colors of the "" light do you have thread. As usual...good job Fenix!

 

[GrnXnham]

I like the way it looks--something different from the same old black straight designs.
