Fenix P3D low/medium modes, lower than L1D?

gunga · Jun 27, 2007

Can someone check this for me?

Flashlight reviews states that the low and medium modes on the P3D are a lot lower than the other models (L1/2D and P2D).

Can I get other sources to confirm this?

I wouldn't mind a lower low, so if this is true, it's a plus!

:naughty:

I don't have the L1D configuration, but my P3D low and medium modes are noticeabley lower than my P2D. Thought I had a freak but grew to like the low "low". I'll be interested to hear if this is the case for all P3D's.

P3D's low is dimmer, confirmed by Chevrofreak's runtime tests.

I have just re-checked and can confirm that the low mode of P3D is significantly lower than the ones of L1D and P2D. I can't say the same for medium mode where P3D appears to the eye to be par with the others.

Are you guys all using primaries? I know the P2D does not have a proper low mode with most kinds of rechargables...

I use only primaries in the 123 form factor and AA & AAA rechargeables.

My P3D low is noticeably lower than my L1D or P2D with all using primaries. The medium modes seem to be about the same though.

Trust me to be different. My P3D on low and medium is about the same as my P2D on low and medium. On high and turbo my P3D is brighter.

I just checked my P3D vs. my L2D. The L2D is brighter than the P3D on Low and Medium settings.

I have some 3.6V RCR123A cells on the way which I plan on using in the P3D. Hopefully the low-medium modes will be brighter with these cells. I don't mind it the way it is, if I need bright, I always have high and turbo

Fenix P3D low/medium modes, lower than L1D?
