New release Fenix P1

[outlaw918692000]

I received an Email from Fenix that they will release a new P1 with a Cree in June. WOOOO HOOOO!

Can you post a copy of the e-mail/text? I would be interested in seeing what they said.

Isn't that already the P1D-CE? It's only 1mm wider and 5mm longer than a P1 already.

im confused.

Are you talking about a simple 1 stage original P1 with a Cree emitter with no digital circuitry?

 

[Burgess]

If this is true,

(a simple model, with no "fancy digital innards"),


then i can't wait for Fenix to upgrade their Civictor V-1 to a Cree !

Ack..mine's already done..by Issac Hayes

Yes. It's a tad longer than the P1. 90 fully regulated lumens!
More info to come!

i ditch all my fenix, just one left and it will be a keeper. the P3D.
i want dramatic changes

18650 body and 1A power plus a textured reflector.

Don't we already have tons of those P1 clones with CREE?
Nothing exciting about it anymore.

 

[ensile]

oh snap

lightbug, Fenix is famous for its efficient regulation, not superbright direct-drive lights.

Did they ever fix the flickering problem by making the pill bottom out in its threads?

I think just adding an SSC P4 to the P1 would be nice as seen in other mod posts. Wonder why Fenix has no lights with the SSC P4 or KLC8 yet?

Looks like its going to be a nice light tho!

7777s posted (somewhere or the other) that Fenix has chosen CREE for it's longevity; over SSC P4.

If I hadn't put a SSC in my P1 yesterday I would be really interested in this light

 

[Phaserburn]

As an owner of a P1, P2D and Cree chinacheapo, I would be interested mostly dependent on price. For me, it would have to be alot less expensive than the P2D.

Now... they say 90 lumens.... does that really mean 81 lumens? Fenix lights never ever hit their documented brightness. all tests have shown that if you want that brightness they stats that you need certain rechargables and even in that case the light will not stay at that level.. 15 mins it settles to the "normal" lm range. 130 lm = 109 and 160 lm = (i think) 120

Why dont they do what surefure do, and state a figure it will definitly hit, but might be even better? the P2D CE should be rated at 100 Lm and P3D CE should be rated 115 Lm

i took the stats someone on cpf took that 109 was the average of the p2d and i used that in my equasion of the flashlightforum figures and found the P3D was 119 (statistically) i have not tested and have no method. but even though you can see by the fact the actual stats show 109 is what you get standard with the p2d ce..

 

[techwg]

Unless they realyl make a change, my official Guestimate of actual lumen output is 75 Lm for the new 90 lm p1

 

[Dobbler]

Maybe Fenix should stop producing more CR123A light variants (what would this make, 5 or 6 now?) and focus on making meaningful upgrades and changes to existing lights. More knurling (that can't cost much) and a forward/tactical clicky option/upgrade come to mind.

I'd bet 90% of the Fenix owners would rather see a P1D-CE/P2D-CE/P3D-CE with a lower output low setting long before a constant output CR123A light at 90 lumens.

I'd like a natural L0D-CE.
