Wiz said:No, the rings are caused by the Cree LED which is larger and there are less reflectors available that are designed to take it at the moment. I expect that the one in the P1DCE has been modified rather than made especially for the job.

No, sorry, this is just wrong. Crees are ringy because it's new technology. Every Cree I've handled has been ringy and I seriously doubt with the amount of research that went into that thing before hitting the market, they'd let something that foolish ruin a fantastic light - and as someone else said th P1D isn't ringy yet they use the same reflector/bezel. If you hate Fenix so much why do I always see you bashing them in every thread you pop up on about them? Just go post about the lights you like. Not everyone was born into a wealthy family and for some of us Fenix is about as good of quality as we're going to get. Go find some other brand to bash. Sorry we can't all afford McLux's and $500 lights! Seriously are you being paid by another Flashlight company? You bash everything Fenix makes!!!!

yaesumofo said:I have 3 cree based lights. 2 of them are ringy. one is not. It is more about the reflector and about the image of the emitter being projected.
Light Bright said:I put a XR-E in my McLux (one of the original 100 turnkey units), and with no reflector, the beam is a Perfect, solid wall of light.
Then I put in the McLux "flood" metal reflector, which has a semi-smooth surface, and wha-la there are the rings everybody is talking about.
JnC said:Yaesumofo, are all of the reflectors of the traditional metalized type? I take it none are TIR PMMA, correct?
LowTEC said:No offense, but I would like to point out that yaesumofo has been posting the same theory on a few different threads and has already been proven wrong but different members with different lights that they modified. I remember a couple members actually go so far to paint the bezel part to experiment and proved his theory is indeed, incorrect
