We Need a Fenix E1-CE!!!!!!

[regulator]

OK, with the new Cree efficiency craze we need to put it in an efficient package. The E1 has a great flat regulation circuit that appears to be more efficient than the LOP one with PWM.

This would be a great simple EDC with a good amount of light for 95 % of its uses. It would have the output of the LOP on medium (which is said to be better than a typical 2D flashlight) with very flat regulation and very good runtime on a lithium - the perfect EDC!

I agree 100%. I have given several E1 as gifts and the owners are very happy with them. The flat regulation circuit is excellent ad the size is perfect for an EDC light. The same light with an improved efficiency would be perfect.

Hopefully you don't mind it's a ring-free Seoul P4 U-Bin instead of a cree

Nice work! I agree Fenix should offer a Cree E-1.

Look at my signature, I have modded an E1 with a Cree, it works great!

What would the difference be between the E1 and the L0?
