How long before Fenix updates the P2D size lights?

passive101 · Dec 28, 2007

I'm debating getting one of the P2Ds, but am wondering if they plan on making a tactical light in this size, or if they will just come out with something brighter.

How long has the P2D been out, and are there better and brighter LED's available now that would work in them?

The P2D-CE Q5 uses one of the brightest Cree XR-E LEDs available, the Cree XR-E Q5(The R2 is still too rare). It(The whole line) has been out for less then a year.

You could use a L1/2T V2.0 head and transplant the froward clickie into the tailcap and create a forward clickie 2 mode 1 CR123 light.

I went ahead and ordered the P2D with Q5 LED :thumbsup:

Did you use the 8% off coupon, "CPF8"?

If not, just shoot them an email.

Enjoy your light!

This will be my first fenix I canceled my T1 order (to big for EDC)

I agree - the T1 looks just to bulky for EDC. I have worn my trusty P2D (Q4) every day for about half a year now. It's just the perfect size/weight/form for EDC imho.

Of course, I'll probably buy a P2D Q5 as well - unless the R2 is just around the corner... :naughty:

Gunner12,
This is exactly the set up I have been looking for. What are the output levels of the 2 modes?

Thanks!

I like my lights to be slick. This way I can easily pull them from my pockets and they do not wearout my pockets.

1AA High = 90 lumens, 2AA High = 140 lumens, Low on both = 13 lumens.

I believe these are the advertised output levels.
