runtime sounds good!!

TORCH_BOY · Apr 5, 2007

Very nice, but I still prefer the L2D-CE

luchs · Apr 5, 2007

it would be nice if the AA-tubes fit too.

I agree.

Yet another (probably decent) light that I won't be buying... unless of course DX gets ahold of a batch and sells them at reverse clickie prices like the Jetbeam MkIIx was for a few hours.

Might have the answer here - thanks L-E Dude, well spotted!

Does anyone make alternative tail switches for Fenix lights? Altho' I can live with a reverse clickie: at least it'll work one-handed..

Cheers,

JM

Beat 4sevens to punch, huh? Looks like someone deserves a free light!

T4R06 · Apr 5, 2007

same old FENIX...
ugly, again cheap looking reflector.
same diameter on head

Katdaddy · Apr 5, 2007

I'll be ordering one!! More light, longer runtime and smaller than my L2D CE, Yessssssss!!!!:twothumbs

riffraff · Apr 5, 2007

90USD (at today's conversion rate) + shipping? Uh, think I'll wait for the new Surefires...

lukestephens777 · Apr 5, 2007

They need to change their styling a bit! I Find them boring

well, same diameter is what sets most of the better LED-offerings apart from other "what are these good"-lights

If there were a Fenix with this small diameter, 18650, that gives the same output and multilevel as my SF 6P mod, I would switch instantly --> much better to fit into pocket.

PS: is there any reason why everything has to have three different treads at least?

flame2000 · Apr 5, 2007

Is this going to run on primary CR123A only, no other battery choice?

clipse · Apr 5, 2007

Hmmm, I actually excited about this light. I was waiting for a CR123 body for my L2D CE but I'll just wait till this little bugger comes out.

Its still no HDS/Novatac but hey, its a new light that is bright.

LowBat · Apr 5, 2007

I remember reading many posts from those wanting a clicky for their P1D CE. Looks like the P3D CE and the P2D CE were made for them.

CandlePowerForumsUser · Apr 5, 2007

any idea on the price? is this just a p1d-ce with a 2x123 body? and why isn't it listed at fenix-store.com?

SQ40 · Apr 5, 2007

I don't care for any light with a Twisty.. Prefer a 2 stage Clicky.. Kinda makes Fenix my least prefered light company..

greenstuffs · Apr 5, 2007

I've had enough with the L1D i'll pass on this one, same reverse click, ringy beam and crappy finish not worth the $90 IMO you can get very nice Surefire in the BST or even retailers who offer a discount. What a price gouging light, remember the MK2x selling for $45 probably this P3D costs $12 to make.

Pokerstud · Apr 5, 2007

My main concern is that they used the same reflector set up with the Cree, and again, the ringy beam. I do however, like the idea of stepping thru the modes via the clicky. I'm not going to jump on this one as fast, I will want to see reviews first this time.

well, I jumped when I saw the price on 7777 website, and used his pre-order thread.
