Will the light “burst” if you hold the button down too long? :bigsmile: Or is it a time-limited burst? Three minutes, perhaps?
Or is it like a game of chicken…you hold the button down until it burns your hand. The cross section of the light looks like the entire body is a heat sink, with just a cap on the bottom for replacing the batteries.
I know, the burst is just for short periods, and not even listed as a brightness level, but the first review will be interesting.
.....until I read that it too will only run in burst mode while the button is held down ...otherwise it looks like a nice little 2xAA for $36. This seem to be a common denominator in the newer Fenix E Series lights.
I just discovered the E41 and couldn’t resist it. Thinking Eneloops will hold a charge and not be likely to leak, might make a really nice gift if nothing else. At any rate, I’ll see in a few days.
That cross section picture is what got me. Couldn’t pass it up.
If you want a 2 x AA light i would recommended the ThruNite Archer 2A V2 NW for $29.95 from http://www.thrunite.com/thrunite-archer-2a-v2-nw/ i have bought 3 of these sofar and plan on acouple more come payday. Including delivery to the uk the cost was $33.90 USD fulfilled by amazon.
I hear ya Rich, but for a 7 year old it’s ideal. He can have WOW! brightness and not be in danger of walking off and leaving it running on Turbo til it melts. AND it uses the safer NiMH cells. Win Win for gifting or allowing a child to use.
I agree with Richwouldnt about the UI and the single switch is a step backward that screams bean counter design interferance to me i love my Fenix lights or should say loved, there seems to have been a change in the culture of the company and there target market.
Of late ThruNite has been getting my flashight budget money, the last Fenix i bought was the original PD35, sorry Fenix but you lost focus on usable lights for the lure of the how bright can i make this POS with no real thought for the normal user.
DBCstm I would avoid giving the light to kids the little shits will delight in blinding each other till they are blind.
