This sounds awesome! Since they have been updated, I was just wondering, and hoping, that they are just has durable and tough as the older ones. I'm excited to see your findings. :)

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.....

I have big fingers so I can barely touch the emitter but here is a shot of it.

I can say that it doesn't look like any of the 5mm I have. It isn't a cree as the cree ones I have don't have any purple at any stage. It could be an upgraded Nichia as all Nichia's that I have all have varying degrees of purple tinges including the warm whites but those wires across the led substrate don't seem to match the ones I have. I can't really tell though, would be good to project the beam on to a wall focused with an aspheric lens. The slightly whiter tint could also be one the newer Nichias too which are less 9000K and more 5000K.

It's definitely not a Cree and the package says it utilizes a Nichia white GS LED. What would you look for with an aspheric lens?

Oh wow. Looks nice even if there is some purple. I don't know if I like that they boosted it or not (even if it's a newer/upgraded slightly led). I know the battery life isn't affected THAT much but it seems there are almost no lights these days where it's all about a nice long run time while still being a single mode light. That being said I think I will buy another E01 now.

The projection of the substrate and the wires coming off it. The old GS has the wires pretty down the middle. In fact, all different versions I have are like that. Your picture looks like there is one down the middle and the other one is offset a bit but now you mention the that it says Nichia GS, it is probably a parallax thing.

In that case, it is going to be either a 510GS or a 570GS. My guess is 570GS as the 500 is the one with the horrible beam and angry purple tint. Looks like they are finally out of stock of the 500GS led's. The 510GS fixed that purple and I would say that it has less blue than the 570GS. The 570GS if anything is blue rather than purple.

I wonder if the driver has changed? The 510 and 570 can both be driven up to 70mA. I think it was 30mA for the old E01? Tail cap draws anyone?

I have an aspheric lens.



This is the best shot I could get.

 
Guys, sorry, but can you please tell me again what lumens the NEW version of the E01 has? I forgot and now as the discussion went on and on, I have to re-read pages of the thread to find it again. Thanks :)
