Just saw PD30 and PD20 on 4sevens site. I haven't seen any talk of these. I like the tailcap design. What does "humanized design" mean?:thinking:

Re: New Fenix models PD30 and PD20.

I'm guessing they are the replacement for p3d and p2d, they don't look as sleek.

And there's the replacement for l1d.

I like that the button isn't fully shrouded and the knurling is definitely a nice touch. I don't care either way on the anti-roll feature, but I suppose that's a plus for some people.

I was taking pictures of a P3D yesterday... and the thing wouldn't stay still. It rolled everywhere but where I wanted it to be. =\

The picture with Humanized Design highlighted lists:
-Smoother press-button with U-shaped tail
-Convenient and practical with bigger lanyard ring hole
-Better grip with rhombic knurling


I know a lot of people have been requesting more knurling...

*edit* The beamshots on the picture with newly designed reflector highlighted makes it look like they are more throwers. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Yes! Now those are some good looking lights. Offer a Q2-5A emitter, and I'm sold!

I'm a big fan of fenix lights and it's interesting to see these models evolve but I can't say it's enough to reel me in for a purchase. In fact, there is such a flood of similarly featured lights on the market that I'm just sitting back and watching - waiting for the next substantive technological evolution to occur.

I approve. I like the anti-roll design, and the knurling. I'm guessing the guts are the same, but I do like the changes.

Well now my plain old l2d is obsolete and I have to buy a new one! :whistle:

These look awesome! I can really see the design improvements.

I love the new anti-roll feature... I hate the rolling of my fenix lights.

I like the knurling, but wish there was a bit more... especially around the head for changing modes.

The tail cap redesign is really tactic-cool looking.

Very sleek and techno-remix looking. Makes the previous models look plain jane and under-designed.

Too bad they couldn't upgrade the emitters to R2 or P7's or something a notch better than what they had before.

I also like the lower low settings.

I wonder if the PD30 can use 18650 protected or not.

The only thing I would like to see that I haven't is a removable pocket clip for these models.

Overall, I'm excited.
