To bad they couldn't upgrade the emitters to R2 or P7's or something a notch better than what they had before.

Ditto, they look great. Love the changes. But wish they would have upgraded the emitter.

I approve. I like the anti-roll design, and the knurling. I'm guessing the guts are the same, but I do like the changes.

check the output #s and the runtimes the guts are not the same

They look pretty nice!

Too bad I just got an L1D Q5. :ironic:

For a Premium, I would have really liked to have seen an R2. I know, I know, not much better.

LD20 also

I like the lower low.

* General Mode: 9 lumens (71hrs) -> 47 lumens (13hrs) -> 94 lumens (5hrs) -> SOS
* Turbo Mode: 180 lumens (2hrs) -> Strobe

What does "humanized design" mean?:thinking:

These are different than the Alien Designs. Jeeeez, I thought everyone new that.

On a more serious note I hope all the old body tubes still fit or I'm not going to be real happy. I've got a L1D tube and an L2D tube. I was waiting for a replacement P2D to replace the one I burned up.

I would also like to point out the old versions (P2D, L1D, etc) all got an aprox 5$ price cut

So I am actually very happy, because I was going to order a P3D earlier, but I didn't get around to it, and now when I do order it, it'll be less :twothumbs

Interesting new lights.
Really they do not seem like a huge step up but rather slight changes to the existing design which I am grateful for.

* General Mode: 9 lumens (71hrs) -> 47 lumens (13hrs) -> 94 lumens (5hrs) -> SOS
* Turbo Mode: 180 lumens (2hrs) -> Strobe

Still too many modes. Need low, mid and turbo, plus sos/strobe (maybe)

I agree, almost. No strobe, no SOS, just low mid and high.

My favourite small light is my original L1P. It's modded to low and high.

I got one of the newer lights (can't remember exactly which one...it went straight back to LH) and really didn't like the UI and all the modes.

* General Mode: 9 lumens (71hrs) -> 47 lumens (13hrs) -> 94 lumens (5hrs)

Now why can't they release something like the TK20 with just those 3 levels and runtimes?

"FENIX can you hear me"?

Re: New Fenix models PD30 and PD20.

*edit* The beamshots on the picture with newly designed reflector highlighted makes it look like they are more throwers. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Oh no, I really hope that's not true
They should put some R&D money into variable focusing optics.. or at least offer a choice for floody or throwy reflector.

But LD20 looks a lot better than L2D, so I'm eagerly waiting for some reviews with comparison beamshots between LD20 and L2D :thumbsup:

Yea I could do without SOS. Strobe is kinda fun however...But not needed.

Re: New Fenix models PD30 and PD20.

I'd still like a lower low and ideally a slightly lower medium perhaps but I'm getting picky here.

Re: New Fenix models PD30 and PD20.

I don't care much for the SOS and Strobe modes, but I really like the bezel twisting to switch function set.

I would like function set one to be:
low-low (1lm) - low (10lm) - medium (100 lm) - turbo.
And function set two to be:
turbo - medium (100 lm)

The above wish list was for PD30. I also wish they made a 3 cell version.

Hi everybody,

I just saw the new models and you know what ... I am thinking about ordering a PD30! You know, my wife is going to kill me ... but who cares!

OK, there was no big new desing, but it's OK. Fenix has two very good series with the PxD and the LxD series. As long as they are constantly evolving within these series, it's just fine for me.

I like the new anti-roll desing. Now I will be able to lay the flashlight in the car without crawling underneath the seats later, in order to search my light :shakehead.
As I have a P3D Premium 100 (max brightness: 200 lumens) I think 20 lumens more would be just fine.
Also I guess that the new tailcap design allows me better access with gloves on.
Also the new beezel design looks nice, not too much, but nice and with style.

As they wrote, "push button tailcap switch", this does not mean, it has momentary on? As I understood the text, it still is a reverse clicky, right?
And - for gods sake - there is still no memory mode! Fenix, THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A last question @4sevens:
I wrote to Fenix time by time, concerning things, they could do to optimize their lights. On the output things (low >10lumens, mid <60 lumens) they did some things, that I asked for.
One point I was writing all the time was the frequency of the strobe. I asked them to raise the frequency from 8 Hz up to 12 - 13 Hz. Do you have any information, if they raised up the frequency? - Thank you!

Bye,

Stephan

It looks like just some nice cosmetic changes....not enough right now to make me pull the trigger and replace my L1D/L2D Q5s...draining my wallet yet again. I'll wait for the LD10 v2.0

I wonder if the anti-roll surface protrudes too much to allow smooth insertion of current commercial holsters? :thinking:
