Well, I read till my eyes hurt, and didn't believe the hype about the 1AA Fenix.
Well, I do now.
Several posters have commented about the lack of spill with the Fenix compared to the Q3.
I have two Q3's, hand selected by one of our suppliers. Both give about 45 degrees of spill.
My just arrived Fenix L1P 2.5 gives about 70 degrees of equally bright spill.
Kiddies, I'm an optometrist, and I am used to measuring angles, aka astigmatism, etc.
The Q3s have a relatively smooth transition of the central hot spot to spill. The Fenix is more pronounced in hot spot, MUCH brighter there than the Q3. LOTS of throw.
If the run time reports on the Fenix hold up, it seems someone has pulled a rabbit out of the hat, in brightness, and efficency with this light.
Did I mention that the Fenix is whiter than newly bleached white shirts.
I'm getting a bit jaded in this fun game, but this is a real winner !
