Re: *Pricing* New Fenix Digital Series! P1D and P1D CE with Cree XR-E !!
Wow you folks are quite anxious! My email notification stopped working
so I didn't know this thread had developed to this point!
The recent
posts with star trek references gave me a few hearty laughs! :hahaha:
Well, we have some breaking news from Fenix that you have been dying for.
I have pricing and availability on the various models and finishes.
P1D
- Price: $49.95
- Availability: beginning of December, unlimited quantity
- Finish: Black. Natural will be available mid to late december
P1D CE
- Price: $69.95
- Availability: late November, limited quantity until January 2007.
(this means they will be shipping to distributors very soon)
After January, there will not be a shortage.
- Finish: Black. Natural will be available in January
L0D (yes this is an extra surprise)
- This one is not CC regulated but PWM dimming.. it's the same driver that is
in the L0-Ti, but specs say it supports li-ion aaa's. I'll open another
thread with details later.
- Price: $39.95
- Availability: immediately shipping to all distribution channels.
- Finish: Black for now. Maybe others eventually.
The reason for the P1D CE's availability is
solely and specifically due
to Cree XR-E's shortages. Despite all the abounding conspiracy theories
(which by the way I find
very amusing) this is the
ONLY reason.
However, this should only be temporary since Cree is also a very fast
company - I am told by my distributor XR-E's are flying off the production
line
With that being said, I was promised 200pcs of Black P1D CE and will
open up pre-order in my store (fenix-store.com) immediately following this
post. Then I'll update the first post soon with this infomation.
What this means is unfortunately not all folks will be able to get the P1D CE
in time for gifting. However, come January, they should have enough
XR-E emitters to go around for everyone. I would encourage folks to
check out the P1D (luxeon version) as gifts as they also sport an impressive
improvement over the P1, both in output and it's unprecedented 3 stage
fully regulated uC controlled output.
(had to throw that in
)
*PLEASE* do not post "I'll take it"'s here. This is an information thread,
NOT a sales thread. Not only does it do nothing, you're also wasting
precious bandwidth.
:lolsign:
And to address some of the recent fleeting questions/issues. This information
release
IS authorized by Fenix - it was not "leaked" information. I am in
direct communication from them.
Secondly, I see no point in closing this
thread. I have offered to update the first post with the most up-to-date
information so folks can skip the drama and get an accurate information from
the first post
