The first post of the new thread will have a link to the old thread.

The answer to your question is currently the last post in that thread. Post #85

This thread has degenerated - into totally uninformed speculation. There is no hard information here until some "trustworthy" members get their hands on the real thing, whenever that may be.

Until then, give it up. Quit. Stop. Halt!!! You're just churning the water.

And here's degenerate post #602! Figures someone else would be writing the last post while I'm doing the same thing...

I will be out of town for the weekend, and too busy with things like stuffing myself and napping to worry about the P1D-CE... for the most part. I'll check in on Friday at least to see if there are any developments. I suggest everyone else relax a little, too. There's no point in letting what was great news ruin your holiday (if it's a holiday in your neck of the woods).

Happy Thanksgiving, all! :wave:

Agreed! This thread is no longer very useful to me or anyone else. Despite what some people are implying, 4sevens is only the messenger and he will give us info when it becomes available. If this thead has just become a debate about whether these things are true then I think it should be closed.

Since I've been lurking on CPF for a couple of years now, I figure this is as good a time as any to jump in! I am one of those who just purchased a P1 - but that's OK, it's a fabulous little light and it's just whetting my appetite for one of the Crees! I can relate to the earlier message about the man who fell in the street - I have balance problems, especially in the dark, so I HAVE to carry a flashlight or risk doing the same.... Which makes me wonder, could I have my doc PRESCRIBE a new P1D CE???

What a beautiful day it will be when insurance pays for new lights for my pockets!:rock:

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. :D (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 :D

I hit the "refresh" button and suddenly there it was to order, where it hadn't been a few minutes before. 3 cheers for 4sevens!
