I got friends in the Bristol area so I'm up there sometimes to, also I just placed a order for the Infilux from your crew, thanks.

Sounds like a plan then. I'll let ya know next time we're gonna be there. If you like this light half as much as I do....you'll be a happy man jhc. Post back here what ya think of it after it arrives. I am interested to hear what others think of it. Now that they're shipping, we should start seeing some other folks posting about it soon.
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

I'll let ya know for sure, how could I resist infinite variable brightness ring, XPG and nice looking tint and nice beam profile. Looks great for EDC but it's going to have some competition my RRT-0 R5 should be arriving tomorrow, it should be a interesting showdown.
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

Dang jhc, you got the XPG-R5 RRT-0 too? It was all I could do to resist getting that tonight. Only thing that kept me from going for it was having my R2 RRT-0 with me and Jay smacking me up side the head with some sound reasoning. Still very tempted to sell my R2 and get the R5 though. Real nice beam on it. God, I need help.....

Really interested in one of these... anyone measure the maximum amps this thing draws and/or battery life on max brightness?
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

I don't have a way to do it, but I'm sure someone will soon. Now that they're shipping, they should start showing up right along. I'm anxious to see what others think about this beauty.

I'm just assuming it will go for about 45mins. on max, if it's slightly lower I won't be to disappointed and anything more than 45 I will just consider bonus time.
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

Am I the only one who thinks that this big case for that small light is ridiculous?

OK, it looks good, I know the cases, I got some other lights in there, but that were 2 x 123 tactical or even 3 x 123 MC-E with accessoires.

For the IFE1 it's completely unnecessary and it'll fill my cupboard even more. Something smaller and for the same costs more rugged and with a nicer look would underline the "top-of-the-line" character of the Infilux a lot better in my eyes.

I can't wait to get the light though... :devil:

This light is way to expensive for what it is.
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

It's not too expensive if it sells.

@ matthewm and MR.A

Those are opinions of which the both of you are certainly entitled to, but they are only your opinions that apply only to you. Myself and many others can see the value of this light and believe it to be worth every penny of its price for the features and quality that it offers. Having had it in my hands and using it for the past two weeks only strengthens and enforces my convictions on how I feel about this light. Been doing this light thing for a number of years now, and have had many a quality light and otherwise pass through my hands....and this one is a definite keeper...:thumbsup:

+1

For around $130 shipped, including the Titanium parts and just the whole package, I think the price is in line with the product. I should be getting mine shortly and I have purchased and sold hundreds of lights, so we will see. So far it looks like a keeper.:thumbsup: I love the simple UI and Nitecore builds solid lights IMO.

I wonder what the 2xAA will look like

I haven't seen it from a closer view. So i cannot say anything about it.

I just show a small review and a video. But still the price is too high.
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

Too high for you that is....Not too high for everybody. For the feature set and quality this light offers.....It is right at the price point it should be. We all wish we could get expensive high quality lights at dirt cheap prices, but that is just not reality. For the level and category of lights that this light competes against....the price is very reasonable.

I'm still waiting for my IFE1, but I can say the following about the price, based on my experience with other Nitecores :

The built quality on the SR3 was very high, a really rugged light. Unfortunately it had the strobe bug, which made it far too expensive (120$). The Extreme was also quite rugged, I just don't like the fact that it unscrews in the middle of the light and may lead to self-unscrewing if not used tightened. The first one I got had flickering issues, I got a new one which is OK. The price was justified (70$).

The IFE1 now costs 145$ and if the built quality is the one of the SR3, it doesn't have any electronic bugs and its electronic is also high quality, the price is OK if the smart rings works as it should. That means, the output must adjust without flickering (electronic quality) and the ring must give the right feedback, not to easy turning, but not stiff either (built quality).

I'll tell you in 6 to 14 days! :wave:
 
Re: NiteCore Infilux IFE1 XPG-R5 Preview - Lots of Pictures

Hello all,

I have both the RRT0 and the IFE1 both are R5's. The JetBeam is much heavier and feels very robust. The IFE1 is much lighter but articulate particularly to detail. It appears to me that both lights are great quality but the RRT0 is slightly brighter with just a touch higher Kelvin. The IFE1 has a prefect spot with a very nice white center. I have purchased both of the lights from Jay at Lightjunction.

Regards

Lerhodes
