In praise of the Fenix EO1

[Magic Bus]

I have got to hand it to Fenix, the EO1 has lived on my keychain for months and given me light all through last Winter and many other jobs and it has only asked for a new battery yesterday. What a brilliant little light, and thanks Mr.Bee too

They really are quite the little wonder aren't they

Definitely works for me

Great little lamp - I've been using mine on a daily basis for a year now, and together with a Photon II is fulfilling all of my needs.

[NutSAK]

It is a truly useful, durable and well-designed light.  It's a remarkable light when you consider the price.

[Turnstone]

It's a great little light. Not very bright, but cheap, rugged, reliable and it doesn't eat much batteries. I have always one in my EDC bag.

Can we have an EO1 club?

Set it up then mate

I have a couple of these, don't use them much, just emergency lights, but they are great little things.  I carefully sand the dome of the LED, and get a very nice, smooth flood (with more blended tint intsead of the purple hotspot).  You get even less throw, but it is a great short - medium range beam.

Probably one of their best , most solid products .

We've been giving EO1's away to family and friends as birthday gifts. It's only after a few months that they find one day that they really need it and how useful they are. Great lights.

The E01 makes a superb back up/key chain/close up light though

I have  Fenix E01 that you did this treatment to and I love it.  My wife has a purple one on her keychain as well.  These are nice little lights.

He he, cool.

I just picked up a couple more too, gonna stash one somewhere and gift the other!

How are you doing this gunga?  Dremel?  by hand?

[gunga]

By hand.  Mask off the "reflector" with some tape.  Hand sand with brillo pad, abrasive deremel bits (still do it by hand) and 400/600 grit sandpaper.  Work slowly and check often so that you don't frost too much, otherwise you kill output.

One of mine has a polished reflector too.  Doesn't make much difference, it was mostly for fun.  Brasso and a Q-tip is good for that.

YOu can also clean up the dome with brasso and a toothpick if you over-sand it.
