Hi there...
I just received my new EDC (from mail) yesterday. It´s a Lumapower IncenDio. It´s my first Lumapower light ever!
Questions for IncenDio´s owners:
1 - I realize it has a 0.1 seconds flicker (really fast) when you keep pressed the button (slightly), withou click it to the end (to lock it on), after 2 seconds. It looks like that happens when the light memorize the mode. Is this happens with your IncenDio too ? I mean... Is it normal ? Can this flickers affect the LED life, somehow ?
2 - How is it waterproofness ? Can I throw it underwater ? Or just handle in the rain, for example ?
Impressions of the light (my first review!)
GOOD POINTS:
SIZE - It is REALLY REALLY smal and light. Smaller than I thought. It´s perfect for EDC due to it´s size and weight. You carry it inside my jean´s front pocket, and you don´t realize it´s there, due to it´s tiny size and weight. It looks like you have a AA battery with a tiny clip in your pocket.
BRIGHTNESS - It´s REALLY bright too. Cree Q5 spits a LOT of bright white light out! The tint is neutral white on mine, just like my Fenix L2D. It´s the brightest light I have, for now!
FOCUS - It´s not a thrower, and not a flooder. It has a well balanced focus, with a good hotspot and a large spill. But it´s focus has more spill than the Fenix L2D, and the hotspot is "hotter/brighter". Besides it´s a Cree Q5, in my light there is no dark rings or dark spots!
FINISHING - It has a perfect finish. Looks like durable too. It´s the same of my Fenix L2D finish, for comparison.
REFLECTOR - It´s tiny, and perfect! There is no sign of dirty or dust inside the reflector. It´s orange peel type. The LED is perfectly centered in my model. It has a GITD o-ring in front of reflector, so when you turn it off, that green ring is there, shining in the dark. I like that... it´s easier to find the light in dark areas.
GLASS WINDOW - It has a solid glass window. No scratches, perfectly constructed, and looks like very solid. It is also anti-scratch coated.
TAILSTAND - It can tailstand (candle mode). but only when it´s turned on.
NEUTRAL POINTS:
KNURLING - It does not have that gripping knurling like my Surefire L1. It´s knurling is slightly better than Fenix light´s knurling. For me, it doesn´t matter at all. Not good, but not bad either.
REAR CLICKIE - The GITD rear clickie looks fragile. I mean, the rubber that covers the click button looks thin/fragile, but I can´t say how resistant is it. It feels thin, but maybe it can handle 10 thousand clicks. I can´t measure this right now. But I like the GITD. Again, it helps to find it in total darkness.
BAD POINTS:
CLIP - I don´t like the clip itself. It´s metal feels soft. I mean, it does not have that clip power that we can see in other lights (in Surefire, for example). Looks like you can bend it, with a little force, but I don´t push it to it´s limit, however. But it´s position is bezel down (and I like that!).
HOLSTER - My holster is well constructed (looks like a Fenix L models holster) but it´s too tigh! I gotta use two hands to put the light inside it, and the clip does not help in the operation. Two hands used to put, and to take the light from holster! But a good point is that you can attach the holster in your belt without have to open the belt, cause it has a button to open the holster´s rear part (that goes attached in the belt). However, I don´t like it at all.
NO LANYARD HOLE - There is no lanyard hole. I know that has a clip, but I would prefer a hole to attach lanyard.
______________________________________________
Overall, I liked a lot this light. I was searching a multi-mode EDC light, cause my Fenix P1 is not multi-mode, and my Surefire L1 is multi-mode, but too big to EDC carry in my jeans.
So I think this light fill all my EDC needs!
For it´s size, runtime, brightness, weight, and SPECIALLY it´s price, I recommend this new Lumapower IncenDio to you all! Great little pocket rocket!
