[Kona*]

Yup that's my garage, still light outside but no light gets inside of there at all

I have 9 Surefire CR123a battery's to go through and we have just got a massive desktop battery charger at work, and I can get CR123A (rechargable) cells for 99p from work.

Only found this out today as our new remote control for one of our products uses CR123A cells, if it was not for this I would get a L2D Rebel as it would work out cheaper in the long run!

Dont suppose you know if this is any good do you?

It does say its not suitable to power LED torches, not sure what all that is about though Looks like it should do the job, might actually get one to keep in the car in case I ever need an emergency charge

Didnt notice that!

Could be the difference between new (or fresh charged) batteries and used batteries or the LED might need a little burn in time.

The Rebel LEDs are warmer than the CREE models.

You are best to keep with protected cells in torches, especially when they use more than 1 cell. Loads of people recommend AW's cells which are available on cp forums.

Just ordered the L2D with diffuser and email sent.
Many thanks again

 

[saitrix]

Just ordered an L2D Rebel with diffuser, sent an email.

L2D Rebels plus the extras have been sent out today to chrisstevens and saitrix.

I strongly advise against shining these directly into your eyes when they arrive, as seems to be the trend with OcUKers

Aha, I will just have to shine it at other peoples eyes.

That's what the strobe mode is for...

An old thread I know, but just ordered a P1D Q5 which I don't think was on the site before.

Can't believe 180 lumens is possible from such a small unit!!!

So, are you still offering freebies to OcUK'ers?

 

[Ant C]

Yes, the offer still stands and you have mail.

The new Q5 models produce a slightly 'cooler' beam than the Rebel LEDs, and are also a tad brighter.

Everyone I've shown the P1D and P2D models to have been very impressed with the power to size ratio.

 

[Luke]

That's much appreciated. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Little bit of bumpage and just to say ta muchly to all the torch guru's for sticking this info up. Just ordered a Fenix P3D Q5.

 

[Rich]

I would personally go for an "ultrafire". They compare very well to Fenix torches and are pennies on Ebay.
Mine came from HK, but are all very good

 

[arfur]

Damn forgot all about this thread and now I want one again... thanks... no really thanks a lot, there goes Guitar hero 3 for a few weeks ....

Fenix, I'm looking for one with strobe that can light up the majority of my garden , its about 40' x 40' mainly for security or looking for stuff in the shed,

thanks

Got my P1D Q5 and am amazed at the out put this tiny torch has. All of the geeks in my office now want one, and I'm probably going to buy a couple more of the larger cree LED based torches.
Superb bit of kit.
