Fenix L0P SE with mod

Guys,

I'm looking at picking up a Fenix L0P SE and I see Fenix-store.com now has a modded version of this light.

It is available with UWAJ.

Can one of the MIT grads here please explain this to me?

Also - it is double the price of the standard version. Is it worth the extra $$$?

Thanks in advance!

Unless your a lumen freak Id go for the standard LOP SE.

Just by two of them!

So I take it then the UWAJ LED offers brighter output?

But does that come with reduced runtime?

One last question: why I am so stoopid? :huh2:

I thought that the Lopse with the UWAJ in it was just more efficient(longer run time). Send 4Sevens an email and he will tell you.

The standard L0P SE has an R bin luxeon, but there is no mention of the forward voltage bin. It could be a G (longer runtime) or it could be a K (really bad runtime).

A UxxJ driven like a Luxeon I should act like an SxxH, providing 50ish lumens if fully driven (and these probably are not as the standard ones are only slightly brighter than the L0P) with 1/2 hour more runtime. SO this will be brighter and havethe same or greater runtime.

To know for sure, someone needs to send one to Craig, Doug, or Chev.

But if you're going to spend the $90, spend the $100 and get the titanium one with 5 levels. Now that's a beautiful light!

kevinm, are you saying there's a $100 L0P in titanium with 5 levels? Where do you get this?

EDIT
UnknownVT finally got a regular L0P-SE in for comparison. See post 21.

The Ti version is sold only thru CPF:

Thanks guys...

Actually, the light is priced at $70. But there's no additional info on the mod on the website (fenix-store).

I think I've got a snowball's chance in hell of scoring a Ti version : ) good luck to all those who are gonna give it a shot!

There is alot of us with our fingers crossed.
