The more i use it the more i like how floody it is attached to my hat. ill need to check those aw imr 14500s.
Wow almost 2.4 amps from a 14500 that is pretty impressive. How long can you run it on high with the AW 14500s before it is to hot to hold?
I really want this light but I don't like the finger grooves or lack of a clip.
I’d love to tell you, but as soon I could get a semi-stable reading I shut it off. It sure wouldn’t be long. That is way too much power for a light this small.
(I can hear the scoffs already over that last line. LOL)
EDIT: OK I tried it. It was uncomfortable after 3 minutes, but it was tolerable. I kept it on 3 more minutes and switched it back and forth between my hands. It was very hot, but it almost felt like I could keep that up indefinitely. Who knows... :) I wouldn't recommend running it for more than a few minutes, but I also wouldn't recommend a LiCo cell @ 1.8A. That's just too hard on the cell.
Thanks for the readings mitro and SirJohn for the review of cause. I wonder if it would be too floody for my liking.
I received my Xeno E03 Warm Red yesterday. It really is a quality build light. Bright and mine has a very nice warm tint. Still like my Thrunite 1c, though. It has a way lower low than E03.
I think I want one
What are everyone's opinions on the warm tint lights? They are sold out of everything aside from warm at the moment.
I Just bought the Red Cool white version, Will be my high output light on a mt hiking trip as I'm going lightweight now. will be leaving my Solarforce L2 with kadoiman XML drop in.
Do you think its bright enough as compared to the L2 with xml?
No, but for an AA light, it's as good as you will find.
Yeah like troop said not as bright as L2 but it is quite floody. I zip tied mine to my hat and use it as a head light.
hkequipment has cold white, shipping included at 29.90. For those international buyers that's good news.
For those who dislike the glow in the dark tailcap and prefer black, the fenix tailcap from Lighthound fits perfectly and is easy to install.

I have what is supposed to be the Neutral White Zeno, but I can't imaging a light being any warmer than mine is. It is rather nice, I like the warm beam, but it is pretty yellow, far from being neutral white.
I received a WW version today from Tactical HID and I'm very pleased with the color. I was expecting a darker brown/orange color but this light seems more of a what I would think a neutral tint would be. This is my first WW/NW so please keep that in mind. The hotspot is larger than my Eagletac P20A2 MkII XM-L which is good for what I want to use it for.
Lol, and I think the neutral white is too cool for my liking...
Tactical HID is receiving 65 neutral white versions next week and you can pre-order them now. The LED will be a XM-L T5 3C. According to their website they should ship between the 12th and 14th.
For those wondering about the tint of the warm version. As stated in my other post above I have a WW version and it is a XM-L T4 7B according to my packaging.
The tint of the WW is very good. No green tint and no pink hues.
Inteterested in the NW, but then its $5.99 from the USA (tacticalhid). Waiting for hkequipment's response whether they will carry the NW and WW, then it'd be good for the international buyers here.
Can just pop in a IMR 14500, 7.80 bucks a pair from bestinone with registered air mail (mitro tested, all are ok and are as good as AW's). 2.4A 5-min capable pocket rocket!
I agree. The tint is the best I've seen in any WW light (except the 90-cri XPG). I ordered from this new batch of NW as well. I have to stop these impulse buys! :)
Just for the record, I don't endorse the use of IMRs in the E03, but it sure is bright. :) The one I have I only use nimh in. I got the E03 for my wife and it lays around the house so I wouldn't want one of my daughters turning it on and leaving it with a li-on in there.
Haha....i do operate portable laser (pointers) as well, so I do know the pocket rocket rule...no worries. Anyway this is not a twistie, and its a IMR so pretty safe. Also going to do L2m with IMR 18350 and UF XM-L!
Just got my Xeno E03 today, 2 weeks shipment from hkequipment is just superb, bought one in their ebay post.
tint on my cool white is just really great and i have all praise for this light.
