Great. Limited availability, right before Thanksgiving when we're all away.
4-Sevens, price?
In the past I'd ruled out all Fenix lights--was going to save my cash for a surefire. I made one possibility for exception--a single-AA powered HID with clicky, with an hour runtime, for under $50. (smile)
However, this one just might make me think about changing my mind...if it becomes available.
I do agree with some of the earlier comments--I'd rather have a clicky, and prefer to start on low (most of my usage is on lowest settings).
How about this--optimize it for throw, then sell an add-on difuser....for most use.

I'll make my excuses and leave, then.
thats funny,prof said:
during the last years, I made some Led-2AA lights, then used the Fenix and modded my 8X with a Lux III, and thus never ever used the other (even more powerful) SFs again,
and just TODAY I have my never-used-again-as-I-got-the-8X 6P model be bored to accomodate a 18650 Li-Ion and am awaiting the cree Leds from the GB here.
This will be the "large" Killer light with increased rumtime to complement my L1D-CE (or L2D-CE, dunno yet)
There have been a few half jesting posts about how to allocate a limited number of P1D CE's to an expected large demand. I wonder how many unique CPF members have previously purchased from four sevens compared to the number of lights he will be allocated. Perhaps one to a CPF name with repeat customers getting priority and then allow more when that list is done. Ok, I admit I'm not King Solomon. I'll go back to wish mode.
I wonder who is creating the shortage Surfire, Streamlight, Inova...the Maglite co might find them desirable to help overcome thier lack of good heatsinking. Wonder if we will see an explosion of Cree lights. That or Cree just can`t put them out very fast.
Or perhaps Fenix`s planis to meter them out till their stock of existing LS`s is depleted. I wonder... they might charge a high price after all...till the Ls`s are gone.

First we get this:
And now we're contemplating this:4sevens said:They are promising by the end of November. I'm sure I'll be the first to have them ready to fly out the door
I think Fenix needs to hurry up and give 4sevens some accurate and up-to-date information before they make him look bad. I will try to avoid channeling my frustration in the wrong direction, but there is sure to be a real backlash if these don't materialize soon. :hairpull:Badbeams said:

4sevens said they had a reel of XR-E's. I'll bet they used that reel before they made the anouncement. Then saw the demand here , ordered 10 or 20 more reels and were dismayed to find they couldn't get them right away.
Am I the only one smelling some AWR here???

My guess is "a war raging"?????????????????:touche:
My post was more or less a joke (though there is truth in jest) but just do a search of AWR - start with the jeers section - and then you'll understand.Melven said:
