NEW PD30 R2!!!!

[DimeRazorback]

I think they look way better. The originals are good, but they are plain Jayne. These remind me more of a surefire kind of look, plus the clip is removable so im fine with that.

I have a P3D CE i gave away, a P3D Q5, PD30 Q5 and when these PD30+ come out im going to get one of those, extra lumens is always welcome and a new design is really nice too.

Any word if this light will have the more durable square threading?

All valid points! :thumbsup:

Apparently i am told the PD30+ has the durable square threading.

Are these actually using the licensed 'piston drive' design?

What?! Since when has fenix even thought about piston drives ? Far as i know its the same ole switch they always have used.

Looks like they are taking some ideas from the Quark series. Looks like a nice light, will look forward to the reviews.

 

[dcycleman]

they shoulda put the clip the other way. thats a deal breaker.

I have a PD20 and like it, but wanted a light which could take a 18650. I ended up getting a Trustfire TR-801, which I'm planning to mod a bit.

From the photos, I suspect the clip could be reversed... it looks like it would fit on the body next to the head.

Does anyone definitively know if Fenix still rates their lumen output based on measurement at the LED or do they do OTF (Out The Front) actual lumens?

Just curious.

New PD30+ you bet and I am the guy who just got the regular 30 3 weeks ago. Did the pre-order thing on Tuesday from Sevens with no regretts. Size, weight, power... don,t get me wrong, I have several high end tacticals but usage per gram they are tough to beat.




I would rather get it right than be right.

 

[techwg]

Am i missing something here? Someone mentioned piston drive for fenix?

 

[jhc37013]

Sign me up does does anyone have them is stock yet?

 

[ANDREAS FERRARI]

Design looks better than original(slippery) P3D-but I will buy one when they put a XP-G in there.

 

[jhc37013]

So nobody knows any US dealers with these in stock?

 

[geoffg]

Anybody know if they come in both OP and SMO ?

[techwg]

apparently they only come with smooth with a little op on it i think from what i heard.

Seems like Fenix is usually an emitter behind the other guys.

R2 for the others, Q5 for Fenix. XP-G for the others, R2 for Fenix.
They must have pretty thorough testing procedures, or something.

I'm a sceptic - I'm guessing Fenix is waiting for the emitters to get cheaper

 

[techwg]

As i recall, they did not wait too long to get Q5 did they?

Yeh I think your right and they really have not been that behind I don't think, of my two Jetbeam light's an R2 and Q5 the Q5 actually appears brighter. Then their is also the tint which I have always liked Q5 better than R2.

So I don't think their really behind in emitter technology especially in the PD30 size lights. As long as they don't wait to long for the next upgrade after some of these other brands release new emitters anyway.

I feel kind of sorry for the guys who just got the old PD30 in the last few weeks lol this happens every time. glad i have had mine for some time now. time for an upgrade! now i will have three P3D Rebel,PD30 Q5,PD30 R2 i sure hope the power goes out again soon.

Guys like me...(heavy sigh). That's OK, I still love it. Now I want the new one though!
