But the lamp is absolutely great !!
I go every night with my dog on the road, for about 1 hour and most extensively, since about 1 month.
Here, the lamp is always in use and I am 100% excited (still and again).
The Fenix is super bright and clear weather conditions I see loose estimated 300m, in Turbo mode.
What has not been described, the operation in case of fog. Also, since I had the lamp, significantly below 100m, tested at visibilities. As with auto high beam, "is more dazzled than seen" when one uses the higher modes (Mid / High / Turbo). But this is the low mode has proven to be a perfect setting. One sees well enough and is little dazzled.
When it rains, the lamp gave a very good picture.
I had the lamp in direct comparison to Maglite 4Cell (without LED) and two brothers P14.
The Maglite I immediately put aside, because these rankommt not nearly to the luminosity of the Fenix.
The P14 could compare nicely. In short, the light of the P14 is almost comparable with the high setting of the Fenix. However, in Turbo mode, the P14 had no chance.
Another difference is the Fokusierbarkeit the P14. P14 can be focusing on one point or widening. The Fenix has not this possibility. This made me skeptical, however, without notice before buying. The Fenix is (in my opinion) optimally focused. A readjustment is not necessary.
The light beam is slightly conical, but also in 200m you can see the spill still very good. A manual focusing is not necessary. Furthermore, the TK35 is much easier.
The lamp is switched on the back button. I now grow accustomed me lamp to keep on his shoulder (compared Maglite -> button in front of the lamp head) the. No Problem. The lamp is easy and therefore easy to handle.
I have relatively large hands (glove size> 11), but the lamp goes well, operability 1A. With gloves it is still, as it is likely to be a cm more, but not everyone has my paws size. Even when wearing gloves is the Fenix still good to use (one-off and mode change).
The lamp as it is written in everyday operation, in the evening on forest and field paths. The batteries were new, an open circuit voltage of 3,09V. 1Monat later they 2,82V. I have always with a spare pack.
I am 100% thrilled and can only rave about so far from the lamp. Super processing, super bright and super for outdoor use. What should I write more? You can tell that I would buy the lamp at any time and recommend it to all friends.
But you have to be careful that you do not hide other people and shines directly into the eyes. The luminosity is truly immense. Should be obvious, but safety comes first.
A negative point however, there is. The holster for the lamp is bad.
with one hand, it is not to use. So rapid insertion into the holster is not working.
But since the lamp, not the accessories is rated, it will remain at 5 stars.
Amazon: Shipping, Internet, pay was as always run 100% Perfect.
