QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 23 2014, 10:13 PM) The E05 2014 serve me very well as I had attach as part of my keychain and carry it with all the time. Whenever I need bright light when walking in the dark alley where my car is being park, I just churn to the max mode 85 lumen and is brighter than most larger light I had previously. It is pretty handy since it so tiny. The PD35 2014 is my weekend torch whenever I go I put in my EDC bag. It so crazy bright it literally lit up the whole road or field in a pitch dark area. The recent 4x4 I had with my company trip to the remote jungle came in useful as I use this single light to lit up the entire camp area for us to setup the camp with it floody light. Other time I put in my display cabinet. |

QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 25 2014, 12:10 AM) haha the E05 is indeed good~ There is a titanium edition same size as the E05 call the E99 Ti wtih 100 lumen coming soon. Should be a nice keeper. had the old one single mode... should've waited a while to get the 2014 for 3 modes ugh~ the PD35 caught my attention for years since it came out but my current customized p60 host flashlight with xml t6 is stopping me from getting the PD35 I'm still debating if I should invest on a PD35~ There's also Nitecore P12 and Thrunite TN12 that's bugging me too lol You may be glad you hold on since there much upgrade to the PD35 since then. haha. The nitecore P12 was my first choice initially, but I read some forum the failure rate for nitecore is 1 to 10, I decided not to take the risk. Your customise P60 must really serve you well since it can hold off to buy other light. Btw, how mana lumen you upgraded to? |

QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 25 2014, 09:53 PM) ahaha my p60 wasn't much Interesting, maybe you can teach me how to mod my lights. I'm still trying to figure out how to open up to look inside. it's just this fake seraph sp6 with a 16 mode driver only~ http://www.dx.com/p/rustu-r12h-cree-xm-l-t...81#.VCQdlRafZqw http://www.dx.com/p/16-mode-3w-3-7v-7135-c...12#.VCQdjxafZqw I swapped the driver just to get the low,med,high mode Still underdriven. Still bright enough to make me happy. But however as technology grew, my greed grew too~ xml were godlike LEDs of the past... and XML2... got me so greedy plus the PD35 looked so pocket friendly compared to this ahh... I need to calm down lolol Resistance is futile. PD35 buy buy buy! QUOTE(Everdying) hmm i just have some affordable Fenix...my EDC are LD01 and E15. Is the E15 good? 170 lumens? Interested in getting one myself. also got a TK09 if i want quite a bit more power. I lost my E05! Is just too small. |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Sep 26 2014, 05:55 PM) QUOTE(mr-2) E15 is good, but the twist to change modes is about double the range of motion compared to my LD01.both pros and cons la, E15 brighter, LD01 got dimmer mode...E15 also cheaper, but also uses CR123. i also looked at PD35 before deciding on TK09. since TK is tactical, first mode is high which is what i want...has a tail switch which is easier to operate...plus has a longer throw. also the memory mode of PD35 i find irritating. Tested the TK32 too, seem this is a long thrower with red, green and blue light. Poison poison, only the light switch a bit complicated and the head is a bit big for EDC.

QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 26 2014, 09:48 PM) flashlight modding is simple as long as you have soldering skills~ Sifu! Pls teach me how to start modding? I am looking at this light and wonder what I could do more with it. Simple also can lah. Opening it for modding however, that's a different talent that requires money and risk to build experience (which is something you need to prepare) well I can guide you in "simple modding" your trustfire,ultrafire and unbranded lights but modding fenix... I don't think I want you to risk it >< advanced modding like understanding what the driver board do n such... I cannot lol |

QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 27 2014, 11:56 PM) umm...uhh...idk how to start lol Actually none, but I guess is never too late to learn. firstly do you have handy hands in soldering skills? because you can always began with swapping emitters or drivers on cheap flashlight~ I did blow out a non-china branded led by putting in a RCR123 battery churning out 3.7v x 2 when it only support the normal 18650 3.6v battery. Was hopping to make it brighter tho. By driver do you mean the chip behind the LED? |

QUOTE(chew3344 @ Sep 28 2014, 02:07 AM) This PD35 seem very poisonous hor! Earlier today I went to the shop to look for a replacement for my lost E05 and ask my friend meet me there.I ask him to wait for me in the shop for a while as i had a lunch appointment with him. He have no idea what shop he is meeting me at too. I am done in 10 mins. After he see customer testing out the light he ended self poisoning himself testing out the PD35 2014 demo unit and other light while I waited him for another 1 hours ++. |

QUOTE(power911 @ Sep 28 2014, 03:08 PM) go learn it quick Yeah, lesson learn. Unlike the Fenix and Jetbeam they actually are much brighter with the RCR123 batt. Guess the unbranded light just don't have those protection. find some old electronic boards like a broken radio to start practicing ahahaha mann you gotta remember all LEDs work only in around 3-4v max XD there are 6v 9v 12v and even 36v LEDs too but general LED range is 3v and by driver yes I'm talking bout the chip behind dx.com and fasttech.com lists a WIDE range of DIY parts for you to play around. Will try out the soldering and check out the website. Thx man! |

QUOTE(power911 @ Oct 8 2014, 09:07 PM) nahh not yet... still XML T6 under 1A power Buy both and do a review comparison. this is the problem that's stopping me from getting the PD35 cuz it's already bright enough lol I did a test with my lux meter, PD35 lumen output is higher than most light rated higher than it. The only thing is because of the small head the heat kinda build up faster than most.
