The color looks to my eye, as good or better than that of the Luxeon based 60XRGT. The brightness of the P1D is rated at 135 lumens on high. There is no question that it is quite a bit brighter than the HDS. It is physically much smaller than the HDS as well. In the HDS' favor, the HDS is built like an Abrams tank and the P1d like a Willys Jeep. For the buckage though, the new Fenix torches are hard to beat; The Fenix Store Cheers!

I wish Fenix wouldn't put all those darned modes on their lights. A P1D-CE with a rotary mode select (high and low only) and push button clicky with momentary mode would be great.

Until one of those shows up though, I'm sticking with my Inova T2.

Hmm...

My mom bought one of those Garrity keychain lights and I saw that the output blew my Inova one away. I became a little curious about the current technology (If something from the local drugstore is this good...) and browsed CPF for the first time. Happened to run across this thread and see that there's something even better at a good price. Then I read that my original X5 now has a 3rd generation model that blows it away as well

. Next thing you know I'm checking out UnknownVT's great L2D-CE review. This much light from two AAs?

This Fenix is about to become my intro to the CPF world. I have eight or nine NiMH AA's sitting around too

LOL, I'm embarassed to say that I have a single flashlight that costs more than all but one component in my portable rig.

Very easy to do Edwood haha...it's much too addicting.

I told myself a year ago I would never buy a light over $50. Now I have a Surefire E1e with Lumens Factory EO-E1R bulb, Surefire L4, and an Orb Raw Ns (my most expensive light, around $200CDN).

I think my favourite light overall is my desert tan Surefire G2 with Lumens Factory HO-9 bulb and two AW 3.7v RCR123 batteries. The nitrolon polymer material feels great in the hand, it's incredibly durable, and it's the brightest light I own.

What's up with CPF? It's down again, anyone able to access CPF?

[Jesse Peters]

Flashlight-Fi! Yes! I like Surefire flashlights, nothing beats blinding your enemy in the dark in a good ol fashioned gunfight. Roar.

Any of the flashlight-fiers care to comment on the specs of this little behemoth:

LED Loupe Light Homepage
LED Loupe Light from Ultralight Optics - Restorative Dentistry New Product - Dentalcompare

My brother is a dentist and sent me those links.

 

[ianp]

That's one of the beauties of the internet, all the niche interest groups can have a forum. Now, what's the URL to that 1930s flypaper forum again ?

 

[Edwood]

Yes. I have officially lost my mind.

 

[vibin247]

Anyone check out the specs on the upcoming UA2 Optimus and UB2 Invictus from SureFire? I'm looking at the UB2 Invictus myself. There's also the T1A, Titan Aluminum. It's all in the latest catalog that's downloadable on the company's website.

 

[archosman]

anyone here have any problems with their Surefires? I had two that failed on me. I believe it's in the button as one of them no longer clicks properly. I love the light output but I'm pretty disapointed with 2 dead flashlights that are well into $200 territory.
