-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fenix L1P is running a SXOH emitter. The beam tint has a slight green tint to it.

The Lumacraft Series Formula 1 has a very white tint. I really like the orange peel reflector, (makes a nice smooth beam). Has a twist switch. The twist action is very smooth.

The machining is excellent. Fit and finish is also excellent.

Both lights are running freshly charged Duracell Rechargeable 2650 mAH nimh batteries.

Shipping took 9 days to Southern California.

I forgot to mention. The o-ring glows in the dark!

Looks like it will take a 14500 li on,have you tried that to see how much brighter and how hot it gets?

The 14500 fits tight in the battery tube. It does not work because it needs a "dimple" on the tip. The Led Module has an o-ring around where it makes contact. I guess the o-ring will stop the magnet from moving. I do not want to try using the magnet because I blew my Chameleon using a magnet. I suggest staying away from those magnets.

This Light has Great Looks and Great Regulation!
I Think this Will be My Next Light!!
How would it compare to a L1T?

 

[ernsanada]

The Lumapower, Lumacraft Series Formula 1 comes with a holster, spare o-rings and a lanyard.

Does anyone know the size of the reflector in this light?

ernsanada: How is the overall quality of the light? I'm interested in one, but i'm having a very hard time justifying one with all the AA lights i already own...Jet1 mk2, Jet1 Mk1 on the way, Ultrafire AA Host, Grey HAIII Ultrafire AA, Black Jet 1. If these have a 19mm reflector, it could be swapped out for a MCR-19 when the CREE led's get here...Driven at 400mah, those led's should be a LOT brighter than a S bin lux1. Any thoughts (or the reflector size)?

 

[ernsanada]

Reflector looks like 18mm. Maybe Rick from Lumapower can verify the size.

Build quality is excellent and the machining is also excellent.

The twist action feels very smooth. I haven't felt a light with smooth threads in a long time. (Buttery) A+

I think the light is worth the introductory price of $38.00.

Sorry I don't have a L1T to compare it to.

 

[skalomax]

Its Ok.

Great Write up!

Good buy.....the beam is whiter and slightly brighter than L1P, and runtime is slightly longer too.

Very good pictures of the light. In fact they're so good that IMHO they actually look better that the ones I've seen on Lumapower's site. If they're yours Lumapower should probably buy some from you.

Good job!

Yea! good pictures!
I love them !

I just received this light, and I have to agree with ernsanada, completely. It is a great light with excellent tint, reflector, finish and style. It is very easy to activate with one hand. Maybe too easy. Nice work, Lumapower!

Hi jdriller,

Thank you.
