I'll be very interested in hearing how they compare.

I doubt there will be any big performance differences if they're noticeable at all (about 10l on high?). I saw a person's review/pictures, in which the new version was shorter than the old one, despite the size specs being the same all over the internet. I don't know if I'll be able to take comparison pictures because half the money for the new flashlight will be earned back by selling my old model .... lol.

Lol, no, I haven't received it YET

I just ordered it last night. It might take weeks. : )

LOL! Makes sence. I was thinking that you got that rather fast. Still need pics when you get it.

Look what sh*t happened ..... Yesterday I received the "new" Fenix E11 I'd ordered...well, it turned out to have been the new model only in the picture of the seller

When I opened the package, I found the good old E11 which I'd had and sold. No new design, no nothing, just a little different specs. But I didn't care for the specs, as 8-10 lumens wouldn't be that noticeable given the overall lumens of the E11. I wanted NEW DESIGN

And he, the f**** Chinese had put there the new picture of the new design. I'm mmmmad @=@= I left him a negative rating, I admit I wasn't very polite, but despite his f**** mistake, he started threatening that he'll report me to eBay and they'll block my account, what the hell. I'm not dealing with returning the flashlight as I'll have to wait another 2 weeks, I'll have to pay for the shipping back to HK, I guess, and basically it would be an endless pain in the a**. I can't even sell it in my country, because the price is the same. I guess I'll put up with it for a while and when I summon my courage, I'll try to again purchase the new version from someone else.

Which seller was it? So we know who to avoid.

N_N_R · **Reply #37 on:** April 30, 2013, 03:35:13 PM

This is the seller: http://myworld.ebay.com/vladimirbest/&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754

And this is what I bought and thought I'd receive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130883765470?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

He even asked me not to buy from him anymore. As if I were burning with desire to do it again, haha.

The Fenix E11 with the NEW design is finally available in my country too! So I've ordered one, specifically asked several times if it is the diifffferent desiiignnnnn. The guys assured me of that. So...I'll receive it tomorrow and SEE if it's true

It's here, it's here, it's here

And the new version is SHORTER, I LOVE THIS FACT, more compact, smaller, YYYEAHHHH

enki_ck · **Reply #42 on:** July 18, 2013, 01:24:37 PM

You're making think I need this flashlight.

for the shorter and much nicer design, but I wish they'd kept the male head. I like that better for some reason.

I'd never heard they had gender

Well, I like the female, then, you like the male, everything's logic

It's hard to twist the head, I must say, to switch between the levels, but it's not like I do it often.

I sill wonder why they chose to have a different design on the previous E11

It somehow didn't match... that... checkered pattern, then that .... striped one on the head, then the smooth one at the back....

enki_ck · **Reply #44 on:** July 18, 2013, 02:21:45 PM

I'm not sure how they call it in English to be honest. We use the gender thing here and I think it makes sense. Well at least everybody understands it.

Gareth · **Reply #45 on:** July 18, 2013, 02:36:22 PM

Don't worry mate, you are spot on with male and female threads, perfectly correct in English.

As to the new light it does look much better IMO, far more like the rest of the Fenix "E" family.

Millhouse · **Reply #46 on:** July 18, 2013, 06:49:34 PM

I have one of the new ones. Not fussed on it.

N_N_R · **Reply #47 on:** July 23, 2013, 02:05:56 PM

Something about the new model, which I didn't notice in the old model mainly because it didn't happen.... then new model gets pretty hot when you keep it on high for some more time, like 15 minutes or so. By hot, I mean... uncomfortable to carry in the pocket of my shorts (thin summer time fabric) after switching off from high mode. Weird.

ducttapetech · **Reply #48 on:** July 23, 2013, 02:32:16 PM

Does the new model have more lumens. I know my surefire gets really hot when I use it on high for about 5 or 10 minutes.

Well, on the packaging it reads 115, like the previous one, but I think on their site it reads 117 ... which can't be that big a difference. I thought about it, too

ducttapetech · **Reply #50 on:** July 23, 2013, 03:31:10 PM

Was it cold when you used the other? Maybe the way it gets rid of heat. Other than that, I got nothing.

I'm no expert but what that sounds like is just better heat sinking. Not a bad thing TBH as the heat getting to the surface of the torch means the heat isn't trapped in next to the electronics/LED.
