Who got their LD01 Stainless Steel?

I really wanted to get a stainless steel fenix after seeing the old stainless steel L1. This is the next best thing I suppose.

I'm just worried that there might be some problems with the circuit after reading this other thread http://light-reviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=251

Could anyone else who has the LD01 stainless steel verify that this is a common problem?

You are going to have to wait a few days to find out from CPF.
They have not shipped yet.

I want a stainless or for that matter a standard LD01 still have not worked out what one. But will hold off for more reports to come in from CPF users. So far I have not been givin bad advice here.

I am guessing the two differences are price and finish. I figure the circuit, reflector, and switch mechanism in the two versions are identical so you just have to decide on SS or HA3 in black or olive?

If it is a common problem, Fenix will soon fix it, as they already recognize it as a problem - Mev is receiving a replacement already.

I rate 8 of 10. The finishing is not as good as sale photos.
Output is wonderful from its size when using 10450.
It becomes my new EDC.

Wow - that is pretty nice. No, it's not like the promo photos. It looks more like a brushed or a satin finish almost. This will hide scratches better than a mirror finish so that's good I guess :thumbsup:

does your have any problems when using on low or medium setting? as in, can you keep it on low for more than a minute without having it jump to high?

Not digging the off-center emitter!
If mine looks like that, I will send it back.
:thumbsdow
It's not too much to ask that the friggin led is placed in there better than that!
Pathetic work Fenix, try harder please.

Wow if that's not the camera's angle or something, then that's pretty bad:duh2:.

Try checking the center of the die and not the dome. The die inside the Cree is off center from the dome. Fenix attempts to center that.

If that's the case Fenix should send the reel back to cree and call it unacceptable.
Not try and work around it.

I got one on preorder too! I hope mine is ok or I will send it back as well.

I use 10450 only, it works so great without any problems.
Off-center does not affect a lot in real world, just bad for my picky eyes.
Because of the finishing, it will not become my shelf queen like L1+.

I think it is partly camera angle.. check the shiny line around the SS bezel that extends on the lower right side and vanishes upper left.

if thats really the problem with the circuit..
i wont get it..
but i might not get a chance anymore coz the malaysian fenix dealer is only bringing in 15 units..

Where could we get the 14500 battery replacement for the AAA battery?
Is there any link for that battery?
Does Fenix store sell that 14500 type?

thanks

It's not 14500 or 10450, "download" is smokin something, . It's 10440, and you can buy them at the Dealer's forum, AW's battery thread.
