More Fenix Digital Lights - L0D CE and L1D CE

[Miracle]

I m hoping the L1D CE can take 4.2v rechargables to give 135 lumens

Do they offer the other AA lights in the Lxx range in natural... it doesn't look like it on the Fenix-Store website, which makes me wonder if they will offer natural for the LxD range.

They do.

Except they're usually 3.7v rechargeables.

From what I understand, the max voltage that the circuit can handle is 4.2v on these lights.

Has anyone taken apart one of these digital Fenixes and figured out what kind of microprocessor it has? Maybe it's possible to reprogram the firmware and choose one's own UI.

Nope. No one's taken them apart yet because they don't even ship to customer's until Friday.

I'm sure we'll get pics and all a few days later though!

Is this LOD CE going to come in HAlll natural???

Seems to be the pattern that they first come out in black. Some of us can't wait and buy it, then get another when it's out in natural. Good marketing.

thankz for the info.

According to 4Sevens first post on this thread, yes.

However, this is not effective lumens, it is the spec lumens for the LED. Effectively, you'll probably see 75-85 lumens from the light at that power (estimating 60% efficiency of reflector and optics)

It's only the CE's that haven't shipped. I figure it's the same cpu as in the earlier digital models, just the led being different. Anyone?

I have an L1D-CE on order. Am considering using a Li-Ion rechargeable in it. Would the 3.6V unprotected Ultrafire battery (UF14500U) from Lighthound be a reasonable choice for this or are there better suggestions?

I suggest looking up AW, a forum member here. He sells Protected 14500 Li-Ion batteries as well as chargers. As far as I know, he's the only guy that has them.

I've ordered from him, and am awaiting my package.

You can find AW's sales thread at https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/140362. I've heard lots of recommendations for his product...and am happy with my recently purchased cells and charger from him.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Lighthound has them as well.
Faster delivery and you get a cool keychain light with every delivery

You beat me to it. BTW, LH is expecting to have the UltraFire 3.6V Lithium AA/AAA chargers back in stock in about 10 days.

FWIW AW packaged a compass keychain with his shipments and is reasonably quick on shipping. On top of that you guarantee you are getting cells from his latest batch by ordering direct.

In case anyone didn't know, the L1D CEs are now on the Fenix-Store.com web site. I ordered one; looking forward to it!
