E01 and E0 compare.

This is E0 Beamshot with 1.5V alkaline at same camera setting as the E01 with 1.2 Eneloop below.





Two more attempt to show you guys the depth and width of these heads.




Pros:
1. Very nice feel in the hand. It is heavier than the E0.
2. HA looks and feels like the ARC.
3. Smooth operational with the twisty.
4. Great throw and is about 3-4x brighter than E0 to my eyes.
5. Thicker barrel give you a feeling of quality.
6. It is cheaper than the E0 :twothumbs.

Cons:
1. The beam is not smooth with a hot spot looks elongated.
2. Could tail stand but not as stable compare to E0
3. The anti-roll - what anti roll?

All in all, I think I will get one for each colour :thumbsup:.

Edit: Size reduced.

Nice pictures! The E01 looks bigger than I expected when compared to the E0, but I like it! I'm kinda suprised how the HA looks like the ARC's HA. It looks like some tough HA, guess we'll see how it holds up on a keychain once we get ours and can carry them.

looks to me like the reflector could do with some buffing up!

Thank you!!

I like the way Fenix recessed the LED, unlike some other AAA light manufacturers. This design should prevent getting a way off center emitter (crooked) and it looks like it produces a nice clean beam.

I have two on pre-order, an olive and a black. I have to say the olive looks really good! I'm sure the black will be sweet. These pictures make me want to order the other colors now!

It looks like the E0 and E01 do not have any lenses on them. Do they?

Nope.

Nope, don't need them. The hard body of the LED is plenty of protection.

Thanks for the nice pics. I'm REALLY looking forward to getting my olive E01. The E01 is brighter, but I think I like the more diffuse beam of the E0.

Bet there will be a LOT of us doing exactly the same thing !



Hey Fenix --

You'd be smart to offer these "branded" for Major League Baseball teams,
NFL, NBA, NASCAR teams, etc.


They'd be hotter than State Quarter collecting !

:devil:

I think that newer contact design is genius.

is the Olive HAIII meant to be that good? now i'm starting to regret changing my order from olive to black

Fenix has proved to us that they can bring something at this caliber at this ridiculous price. Well done Fenix. The brightness gain for the E01 is in fact quite useful for everyday use.

Looking good! Better than an Arc? :shrug:

I suddenly think it'd be fun to shoot these lights with a wrist-rocket
straight up AND measure flight time and visibility at night.
Of course they must survive the landing impact to pass the test.
-and hey, it could yield good data:naughty:

Fenix E01 & E0 congrats on a truly nice design.

How does the E01 compare in size to the LOD?
