Wow!
That's a small flashlight! VERY interesting.
Any idea why it uses the R3 LED?
A XP-G is more effective..

Re: Fenix E15
Also wow! That looks mean! It looks like CR2 size? (edit; well it's CR123 size. It must not be quite as small as I at first thought. Still looks cool though. Very similar to the Quark mini 123 in fact...)

Re: Fenix E15
For a quick size comparison, the Quark MiNi 123 has a length of 58.42 mm (2.3 inches) & a diameter of 20.32 mm (.8 inches).
Re: Fenix E15
Looking at the picture, it seems like it's using TIR lens, so they might be trying to give it a lot of throw.

Re: Fenix E15
something just doesn't seems right...
here is a link to a "slightly" higher resolution of one of the pics...

total reflection lens == flood light?
anyway... if you zoom in the pic, the 1st and 2nd sample pic is not using E15 (actually, i think neither is the 3rd), and I really don't think I would wanna read a book with that hot spot...
and... what's with the "perspiration elimination"?

Re: Fenix E15
Can anyone tell me about this "Total Internal Reflection lens" that seems to be all the rage with Fenix these days? How does it work?
Edit: Oh, I see:
Edit again: and I just discovered that TIR Lens™ is a patented Trademark.
The perspiration elimination is what they've been putting on their (translated) promo pictures lately when talking about the knurling. I think they're trying to say that if your hand is sweaty it will still grip because of the knurling.

Re: Fenix E15
Of course I buy a Maratac AAA and then this Fenix E15 comes out!
To be honest though I am not sure I would want another CR123 Keychain light. My Fenix P1's O-ring got worn out quickly so it was always turning on without my knowledge. Throw was awesome but if I am stuck somewhere long-term (day+) with no power it will probably be easier to find another AAA then a Cr123. Also the P1's keyring hole broke so now my Fenix P1 is left ready for use by my bed
I'll have to wait for the review, if the throw is there I may buy it.

The CR123 sucks indeed. I prefer for EDC lights AA or AAA batteries.

H30 - 56mm
Logan Short Body - 60.9mm
P1 - 67.6mm
P1D - 71.2mm
QMini 123 Ti - 60.6mm
Aeon - 55.8mm (CR2 light)
Jil Longrun - 51.3mm (CR2 light)

This light sounds really great to me, for this type of light I "REALLY" like M/L/H sequence without memory. I'm just a bit worried that the M level is too high at 75 Lumens, it should be no more than 40 lumens. It's possible though that with the flood caused by this particular optic that the 75 lumens level is OK. Can't wait to test it.
It will be interesting to see if they can maintain a good balance with great food, but some throw as well. I found that a good EDC should have some throw it it becomes kind of useless outdoors even for small tasks. A nice flood though is great indoors. The two extreems might be something like the E1B with, and without, a difuser.
At the price point they are offering it ilook very fine to me, I'll get one for testing as I like small lights like this.
Good Job Fenix, but check that medium level!

Re: Fenix E15
Me too. I hope it isn't PWM. Especially as they (Fenix) made a big deal with the newer LD01 about how it was constant current, and not PWM, and how that was better; it would be a shame to use PWM in this.

Strong enough for man, pH balance for woman.

I hope this light can be used as a batterie Vampire. Would be the ideal "final ways before going to bed" light.

Re: Fenix E15
I notice that it has the brass beazle in some photos and others nil. Is this going to crush the batteries like it did in the LD15?
