*new* Fenix E41: compact 4x AA-light, max. 1000 lumens

Another new Fenix light:

Some specs:

- Max 1000 lumens (burst)
- Low? 20 lumens
- Mid 140 lumens
- High 400 lumens
- 4 x AA
- distance max. 275 meters

Looks like a real Nitecore competitor!

LD60 now this! Very good news this morning I'm not holding my breath for a neutral white but still interested. Replace that 20 lumen mode for a 1 lumen like the EA41 and we're in business! Standby drain and UI will be a big deciding factor.

Indeed a real Nitecore competitor. Including the model.

Dont think it looks as cosmetically pleasing imho as the ea41 but it is Fenix!! so a bonus,i like it,looks like a roller too:fail: unless i am missing out on some flat spots milled in

Finally! I've thought about buying a LD41 for a while as Fenix has proven it's quality to me, but the output of this light might make it worth a look. I will have to see the specs to make a decision, but I need a home for these Eneloops!

Unfortunately the low is not low enough. The EA41 has it beat in this regard.

I wonder if it will use a cell holder, or if the cells drop straight in?

Nice.

And will it run on just 2xAA if needed?

If Fenix came with this light sooner, I would have bought it. Now I already have the SWM D40A, F40A and Eagletac GX25A3.

Who are you trying to kid,i bet you get one :laughing: may not be next week but in a month or 3 i will see pics of it on the mail thread

On 4 AA. That's a little bombshell in the mix no 15-20 dollar batteries looks nice, I think competition is getting really really tight of late

Nope.. Sorry This light doesn't do it for me. On the other hand, the LD60 does, so hopefully it will arrive soon.
Or Fenix or Fenix distributor here should send a review-sample, but haven't heard (yet).

That's what I'm thinking. Also reminds me I need to sell one of my EA4s since both don't get much use anymore.

Eh, I'm not a big fan of a single electronic switch in a light like this. That's why I don't the original EA4. If they phase out the original E40 for this light then that would be a big let down to me. Oh well.

Nice little light. Too bad that I have other priorities in mind right now.

Impossible. With batteries in series even one missing battery don't close the circuit.

Wait what? I'm gone for a day and 2 new Fenix lights are announced? Is it X-mas already? WOW that LD60 is sweet. This little guy is cool too... ugh burst mode though ;(

Oh dear lord... the LD60 has a 1/4 inch thread mount? Okay Fenix... you have my attention.

Believe I will sell my EA4 for this light depending on the UI and mode arrangement. Now if they would make an E81 to compete with the Nitecore EAX
