I don't know if this has been posted here yet, but it looks like LightHound has some L1s (both colors) that come with the premium "R" bin Lux1 for $29.99! :)

These would make great gifts for family members.

They have been listed there as "Expected December 20", so Fenix must have been right on time!! Thanks for the reminder though...I just ordered my two.

I just ordered one of these (...Thanx for the "heads-up", LitFuse!). I'd been wanting to order an L1P, but at only $29.99 with the same R-bin as the L1P, this was too good to pass up! I'm really looking forward to getting this light!

Thanks,

I promised myself that I was going to make it at least through December without buying any more flashlights. I was very tempted to get an L1P, but I resisted. :help:

At least it's not my fault. You shoved this in my face and forced me to do it. :devil:

I could say it's for a Christmas gift, but even I won't buy that. :naughty:

Actually this is a great deal from a great dealer. Too good to pass up.

One question, just curious: If the LED is the same, why is the lumen output rating lower?

What makes it different to the L1P now? Voltage regulator?

L1p has
antireflection coating on the lens, (more light gets out)
HAIII coating on body, (more resistant to scratches)
selected R bin LEDs (I wonder where the rejects go)

On the other hand you can buy 3 L1s for the price of 2 L1Ps.

I hope Lighthound has enough stock. I was going to wait until boxing day.

I happened to be emailing John on another subject so I asked him. He indicated that as these were a one time run and hadn't been tested as to output, he felt more comfortable not changing the description on his website. He's also not sure if the electronics are identical between the two models- so I 'd say that the 38 lumens is a floor on the output. Hopefully someone with a lightmeter will get one and let us all know.

He also indicated that they're going fast, so if you want one of this run, I wouldn't wait.

The higher lumen rating on the L1P as opposed to the L1 was a direct result of the R-bin lux, IIRC. With these L1's having the same R-bin lux, their output SHOULD be the same as the L1P. We'll see...either way, for $29.99 I'm not gonna be too picky!

I'm trying to order a couple right now, but it seems like the website is having some issues. :mad:

Anyone else having trouble browsing LightHound.com?

I haven't been able to get on the Fenix page all night either Peter.
Hope there are still some left when it's up and running!

I wasn't trying to buy a Fenix, but have had problems getting pages to load on the site.

Re: Fenix L1s with "R" bin Luxeons (Black & Silver) for $29.99 @ LightHound

i'll bet that Lighthound underestimated demand for the L1 at that unbeatable price, any idea when the site actually crashed? i got a confirmation "we'll ship it Monday" e-mail at 7:30 PM tonight

can't wait, now i get to see if all the hype over the L1 /L1P is all it's cracked up to be...

and i can finally retire my Inova X1 to the "Box O' Lites", trying to keep my active light collection to a manageable amount
