Hey guys,
I've read a bunch of stuff here with people talking about the E13. Mainly the earlier posts but I do believe the E15 is still kinda new. Anyway, there were some people concerned that that the 3 modes (med, low, high) would be PWN.
It is not PWM.
I just recently bought the Fenix E15 and it is definitively not use PWM to make the light dimmer nor do I notice any color changes when does. (I use the fan test)
One other major concern I have been reading about is an off-center emitter.
Mine has an off-center emitter! Grrr.....
The good new is that unless I am white wall hunting and actually looking for it (most normal people don't look at white walls and flashlight patterns like us oo: ) then I really don't notice it.
Btw, I bought my E15 from FenixTactical.com and they refuse to do anything about my off-center emitter saying it is Fenix's fault and they can't resell an open package item. Why would they want to resell an off-centered emitter flashlight even if they could? Anyway, avoid those guys if you can. I will in the future.
There has also been some question on whether or not the E15 can take 3.6V RCR123A's. The instructions explicitly says no, actually it says they are "banned" but I didn't have any primary CR123A's on hand so in went my 3.6V RCR123A's anyway.
No problem at all with 3.6V. I suppose I will be shortening the life of my emitter but, meh.
Great light overall!
