Thoughts on Fenix L0P Special Edition

Candle Power Forums

Help Support Candle Power:

I lubed the o-ring, then just screwed it out until the o-ring just showed, and let the seal keep the innards dry. As I recall, I also put some paper towel inside to catch any moisture that might get in, but none did.

Well, the L0P-SE won out. I dropped my keychain in a parking lot and it didn't even phase the little bugger - hit right on the lens cap - not a mark. I guess it's tough enough. My HAIII is untouched after a couple of weeks - maybe they've gotten better about the thickness. Great stuff at any rate. So, it has now replaced the Matterhorn 3HI. I still haven't worked out the keychain arrangement as I really liked the cap at the bottom of the Matterhorn allowing both its removal and small storage - just enough for a hayfever tablet (which, when you live in a rainforest... is necessary for several months a year)

I replaced the bulky Fenix clipmount with a microclip from Berkeley Point - less bulky but doesn't swivel. Can't have everything.

Ah it's short lived though... I won one of the Ti and so this black one is going to my wife. I'd assumed the HAIII would wipe off quickly and that's why I went after the Ti but in retrospect - it wasn't necessary. Still... I'm really looking forward to that little bugger... I've never had a Luxeon binned that high. It'll be my EDC till Fenix comes out with a drop-in replacement Ti head for it with an XE.
 
I just got mine from 4Sevens. What a great light. I feel safer at night now that I have it. It's on my car keys chain and I keep it right next to my gun in my purse when I'm not driving. I'm very pleased with this light.

WOW, yours is holding up a LOT better than mine is than! So far, mine...

Has wearing all the way around on any sharp angle or place of shape change and on tailcap.

While changing batteries the otherday, i dropped the head (outside), it took a chunk of anodizing off the side on the battery end of the head and dented it JUST slightly. It is slightly harder to turn than before, but still works fine. Anodizing is not holding up. I got mine beginning of november? or last week of october? A month in my pocket? I love how it works and the output. I guess it doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it works, just saddening to see your new light being worn away.
