P1D CE, anyone got it yet?

[Sigman]

...calm down folks, I realize you're all excited about this - but things are getting a little carried away, eh? Of course we cold just lock the thread if that would be preferable? Hey, I'm not a bad guy - just doin' my job! :thumbsup:

I ve got mine sitting next to me. I can confirm that it has faint rings in the beam. It is definitely bright though.

I will post a snap shot of it in a few minutes.

 

[barrett]

I'm right there with you! I was waiting on some feedback to decide if I am going to get this light or not. Then this guy...

No need to lock the thread. Where will we vent our frustrations then?

can some kind souls please post some throw shots?

does it throw good?

:huh2:

 

[flame2000]

Beam don't look too good.:shakehead
Are the rings very noticable when shining at objects a few meters away?

 

[waynejitsu]

For $70, ringy and hot would definately be unacceptable.

 

[Miracle]

maybe i m still noob in torch lights

but I dont mind the rings

how hot does it get?

scotching hot?

:huh2:

 

[Long John]

I went out and tested the P1D CE throw. It is very similar to the Surefire A2 and Inova T5. The Inova T5 has less spill. The CE is pretty amazing given that it uses 1 CR123, A2 uses 2 CR123, and T5 uses 3 CR123.

meep. not good, not good... lets hope fenix explain what is happening...

just to make sure, can you post the beam shot with BOTH the xr-e light you modded and the p1d together in 1 picture?

and also, you sure you put it on high mode and not using some gay battery?


i will go the lumapower way if fenix isn't doing good.

 

[x2x3x2]

poorly engineered/refined reflector probably, next 1x CR123 XR-E to look out for would be Lumapower's D-Mini

 

[LA OZ]

Talk about ringy, you should see the Inova T5. It looks like Saturn! However, I don't mind it.
