Fenix E01

Help Support Candle Power:

I have been EDC'ing an EO1 for a long time and, despite a few niggles, I have been very satisfied with it. Now that it's getting long in the tooth and I think about purchasing a new one, they're gone. As any older person will tell you, this happens with a lot of your favorite things. Sometimes, when I really like something, I'll buy a back-up to stash away just in case...
 
There was one just a few days ago for sell by I think nascarfan. Could be wrong. There is one available though.
 
I have one. The purple light is sort of freaky but yeah, it's a great keychain light. I ended up with an E05 SS which in the end is a bit more useful for an EDC.

Sofirm has a tail end with more flat surface, true. There's a lot to like about the Yuji'd C01 versus the fabled E01 no doubt. But in it's day that original E01 platform was a pretty good flashlight.
Some say it was a new and improved ARC aaa.

I have one on his early one of these, 5600k and unpotted, for sale.

I'll be adding it to my forsale thread in the next few days hopefully.

I can appreciate wanting to hook up a diehard E01 fan, but please keep for sale or "available" posts in the WTS area, folks. Thanks.
 
Hey all! Can't pass up the good ol' E01 thread. I still have two in use. Both are the natural finish with sanded leds. I have gifted, been gifted, bought, and sold, various E01s to a bunch of you lovely flashlight people over the years. The simple little E01 will always hold the strongest memories with me when it comes to flashlights. From my first E01, to the original run of Vinh modded WARM E01s that was gifted to me by Scout or Run4jc (sorry boys I can't for the life of remember remember which of ya'll passed one of those along to me) to the Purple on that Bykfixer has been enjoying for a few years, to the 2 lumen Low Output Yuji special that I had Vinh whip up for me a while back. The E01 has been one of the most fun flashlights to use (and abuse) and most definitely to discuss over the years. I'm always down to run back the 48 hours challenge if they're are any takers. The Fenix E01. The flashlight.
 
I can do that. I kinda already did if using an E12 on low counts. But I'll stick it in a drawer and leave an E01 in its place on the night stand, put another one in my pocket contents tray in place of my aaa sized daily carry I twist to low 99% of the time and put the purple one I got from you on my coffee table for times I use a light to help with reading small print.
Those account for 99.9% of my flashlights normally anyway.
 
Continuing with my never-ending love for the Fenix E01 here. I thought about grabbing another Vinh E01 or a Sofirn but decided to get creative instead. I wanted lower output with a warm tint so started searching around the house for some type of cap. Actually an orange Chapstik cap and a little sanding handles this task really well, but I don't have one on hand. Bathroom drawers and kitchen junk drawer yielded nothing. Ended up in the garage and pulled this orange drawer template out of the toolbox. Shined the E01 through it and thought..."Perfect." A little cutting, a little sanding, and a diffuser from an old AAA light and voila. Perfect little diffuser that cuts the output nicely and gives a nice warm glow for dark adapted eyes. I'll give it a run as my bedside light tonight. Happy
