    HDS? Vs novatak? what can he bring? us a killer app?

    I think a way (USB, IR, or Bluetooth) to change the regulation would be cool. For example, configure the light to run on max for 2 hours and drain most of the battery, or only 20 minutes to conserve battery. This gives more flexibility for those who need the high mode longer than others...

    "Turbocharged" P3D-CE outshines all others (while it lasts)

    I used an LxD/P2D head on my P3D for no longer than 30 second intervals, and now i have lost all levels but turbo/strobe when I connect it back to the L1D and L2D bodies. Yes I did unscrew it; I just think the board is ruined. I also cleane dthe contacts and tried different batteries. I...

    Fenix P3d Rebel 100 = 200 lumens?

    A Q5 is a Cree LED that is more efficient than others, meaning it puts out more lumens per watt. The higher the letter and number, the more efficient, and as a result, brighter the LED is. Most lights with Cree's are P4 bin, although some lights can be special ordered witha Q2, but only...

    Q2 By Accident?

    So is this a result f the different driver on the P3D, or I just have a more efficient P4. (I recall reading that the bins are a range of outputs not a set output.)

    Q2 By Accident?

    I just recieved a P3D-CE as a gift and was comparing it to my L1D-CE. Bot are stated to have a 9-Lumen low, but the P3D's is MUCH brighter. Is it possible that I recieved a Q2, just by being lucky? Or does Fenix only put P4's into their lights, because that's what they order from Cree...

    135 to 200 lumens will I see the difference?

    Even if both are only light from the emitter, should they not be proportional? Say I have a P3D-CE with a P4 really only shooting 135 lumens... wouldn't a P3D-R100 be pumping out 40 MORE lumens, regardless of which measurement technique is being used. Of course keeping in mind that the...

    Fenix P3d Rebel 100 = 200 lumens?

    The reason Fenix doesn't use Q5's is because they are still rare and pricey. Rebel 80's and 100's are much more easily produced and thus less expensive. When the Q5's do become more available, I'm sure Fenix will begin to mass produce lights with those emitters. I do recall that Fenix...

    LED Explosion!

    A friend and I were wiring some IR LED's to use with a modded digicam sensitive only to IR light. We decided it wasn't bright enough so I did the always stupid 'watch this' and connected it to two CR123a's. The die on the LED looked like it was shooting flames and then exploded, sending chunks...
