If the one on the right is the new one, I may have to get some more! That is quite an improvement. More like the Nichia DS color and beam pattern of a few years ago, but brighter. I like!!

Fenix definitely did an upgrade on this light and I like it.

Couldn't resist so I ordered one from fenixgear. I hope they send me the newer version... it's the only reason I pulled the trigger for another one. I already have 2 older version..

LightWalker, the one on the right is the new version and has NOT been modified or you did take the scratch pad to it??

The one on the right is the new one and neither of the lights in that photo have been modified.
 
Wow that's crazy. Excited to see what my new one's beam looks like. Oh one other thing, what were the specs on the box of the new light from Fenixgear?? Thanks man.

I don't think they would have shipped me a new one if they had old ones in stock. Here is a pic of the package with the specs.

You bet, I hope you like yours much as I like mine. I've had a more expensive aaa light with multimodes before and ran it on a 10440 li-ion battery but it did not have the feel and smooth threads that the E01 has. I prefer the single mode on and off, no multiple twisting to get to the light level I want and I like the 13-15 lumen output for an aaa light, if I need brighter or dimmer I usually have 1 or 2 other lights on me. After using a 10440 I discovered that I don't like running such small lights that hard, it generates too much heat, requires a lot of recharging, and the runtime is very short and I don't think it is good to discharge a li-ion batt. In 10 min.
 
I agree. There is just something about the feel and simplicity of that little light. Knowing you can not worry about/beat the snot out of it and it will still perform makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The light that got me started and the light that brings me back to reality when I need a little kick in the arse. LightWalker you are the man. Much appreciated.

I have been thinking for a while I should have more of these, and the new beamshots put me over. Just ordered 2 blue ones from Fenixstore. They had the updated specs on their site. With a coupon code it was $19.70 for both of them, free shipping. And they have all the colors. Saweet! One is going in my BOB to replace one I gave away, so I will be back to two in there, and one might go in my pile of pocket tools for work. I have a super beat up one in my truck console - I don't know if I should keep trashing that one or let that one rest and start in on a new one. :grin2:
 
Truck console light must continue to get worked as a truck light in my opinion. These things don't enjoy rest!

Anyone want to pick me a couple blues and ship em to me since I'm in the 3rd world country of Canada where shipping is a week's wages.

E01 on the left was purchased April 2008. E01 on the right was purchased July 2014. Both have fresh batteries and neither have been modded. Both lights are about 9 in from the textured wall and was taken with an iPhone 6.

The hotspot of the newer one does have some purple in it and it become more obvious at greater distances. Up close, the warmer spill sort of overpowers the purple in the hotspot. Regardless, the newer one is noticeable brighter in practice.

I think you have to have a photo editor like Photobucket.

Nice beamshot RobertM, I would have got a better beamshot myself but my friend was about to leave with his light so I had to take a quick snapshot. I don't really notice much of a purple tint on mine unless I shine it on a white wall at a distance.
 
Being an E01 fan also, I of course am going to need some new ones. Thanks for the updates guys!
 
Yeah, I fell prey to this also. Just ordered 3 from the Fenix Store. I'll add 'em to my stash. As someone said in an earlier post, they'll still be working when all that's left are cockroaches!
 
Can we get a shot of the led in the head itself? Can you push it in with your finger like the old 5mm?

Any full reviews out there for the new version..... with the light being so popular I imagine one is in order.....
