E01 Killer
on: January 14, 2011, 06:34:20 PM
I did not think it possible but is to be released at the Shot Show by 4Sevens on the 18th of January 2011. Wow & I thought the E05 was it. I did some detective work & came up with this info: It is to be an E01 style body, available in AAA & AA, 2 modes (low low & full power). It will have throw instead of flood & be current regulated. Price? A true E01 Killer should be near the E01,s price I would guess? I can't wait!

While that sounds like an interesting set of features I'm not quite seeing the E01 parallel. :think:  If it can do all that, have a massive run-time, and cost the same as an E01 I'll be amazed.  It doesn't seem that likely though, does it?

To me, that sounds like the iTP A3. A true E01 killer would be a tough single mode favoring battery life over brightness.

That's my thinking as well, and it's not like 4Sevens doesn't do some good multi level AAA lights already.

Agreed  :tu:

I think the beauty of the E01 is its simplicity, the fact it only has 1 mode  :D

Otherwise you've got the L0D, the LD01 or the iTP A3  :)

Right. I really don't like lights that change mode with the same mechanism as they turn on with, so if this thing is multimode but twisty, count me out.

Unless I read it wrong it is to be a 2 mode light. Emitter type? I don't think it will be a 5mm Nitchia as many people complained about the purple/blue tint of the E01. Runtime? I am clueless here. The suspense is killing me! A lot of people requested it have a low 2-3 lumens so, runtime should be way above 10 hours with that I would think.

Are you inferring all this from the CPF thread? Because the only thing 4-7s has said is that it will be smaller than the E01. I would actually be pretty surprised if it was multimode.

Not actually a flashlight.  It'll be a giant, 200 foot tall robot programmed to go across North America disintegrating all the E01s it can uncover.

Yeah, I've read the thread. Sometimes it's hard to keep the posters' dreams straight from the actual information. We'll find out soon.

Yep Ari, I went back & read only what 4Sevens said. It might be single mode only. I was so excited I think I read a couple posters wish list,s instead. The fact is for sure from 4Sevens its going to be smaller than the E01 & current driven. It sounds like they will use the E05 body to me. Sorry for the mix up.

You know the E05 and E01 are Fenix and we discussing a 4-7s light, right? So it would be strange for it to use the E05 body.

Well, an AA bodied light will definitely kill the E01.  It looks like Peak will have some competition in the twisty AA arena after a long dry spell.

...a long-running, low-output light should be floody, IMO.

NutSak, I got a few things twisted around in my excitement & I am sorry for any misinformation. 4Sevens said it will not be floody & said you can use scotch tape if you want floody. 4 more days until the whole story comes out from the Shot Show. I can hardly wait!

No, that's what you said.  I made the comment because I'm a bit disappointed.  Scotch tape works and all, but it doesn't do much for output.

I use film intended for windows, sent some to a guy on CPF to measure and it only block a couple percent of light.

As far as the internet knows, 4-Sevens didn't release the E01 killer at SHOT.

Nor I.  Anyone heard as to why not?  There seemed to have been lots of hype about this (including from 4sevens themselves) that it seems odd that there has been no light and no news. :think:

It seems to me that 4Sevens was just barking without teeth to back it up. The E01 will always be here & I cannot see anything real or imagined replacing it for the money any time soon. This whole E01 Killer seems to have been a farce! JMHO

I dunno, I've actually got a light similar to the E01 that I prefer over it.

Coast LED Lenser Mini Tac torch.  8 lumen output from a 5mm Nichia GS, has a very, very similar runtime and output graph to the E01 on an alkaline (~21 hours).  Only type 2 anodizing but it uses a forward clicky instead.  I prefer clickies.  Sealing is almost identical, the Coast is a little longer due to having a clicky instead of a twist.

Also, it cost me $3.50

Nice, but it longer than the E01? I like twistys on my keychain lights so I'll stick with my E01. Cool light though.
