Fenix E11. I love it

Gareth · **Reply #422 on:** May 31, 2012, 07:54:28 PM

The E11 looks to be a good, simple and effective light.

If it came with a pocket clip I don't think I would have been able to resist buying one.

Just a few every day, run of the mill lights then Tedmanshoo

Tedmanshoo · **Reply #428 on:** June 17, 2012, 05:35:21 PM

Yes,some of these cost me an awful lot of dosh,but they are worth it,from a design and functionality point of view.

Got a Tank007-liked it so much I ordered 3 more
(Dinodirect has them on offer now but my original one is from Manafont)

Hi, guys, if you've seen such ones, what would be your estimation, how many lumens is it and for how long could the batteries last? Thanks.

nuphoria · **Reply #431 on:** July 08, 2012, 03:16:58 AM

Just finished doing a little glow mod to my new ZL SC600W, turned out pretty well I think

It is very hard to say without knowing the LED used, the brand and model, driver etc.

Usually this type of keychain torches, with a reasonable LED, should give anything from 0.5 to I would say 10-20 Lumens, with pretty good battery life. (generally the lower the output the longer the batteries will last).

As I said, yours, if it is cheap, will probably be 1 to 5 Lumens...maybe..
Just guessing here, as I am sure with the light LED and driver torches of that size can give a lot more lumens..

@dks,

Thanks : ) It was a present from a friend, I can't say anything about it- there's no brand name or logo engraved or whatsoever. I think it's a little brighter than the Fenix e01, but with a much tighter beam and not much flood. I have absolutely no factual experience with flashlights, so I'm asking you, the experts

Yours is.... adorable...if that can be used for a flashlight... anyway, I'm so in love with small & black ones

Definitely tell more about it when you've played with it for a while

@Nuphoria, wow, looks cool

Very cool. Just got one of these. Any chance of a post outlining your method?

nuphoria · **Reply #443 on:** July 13, 2012, 10:26:28 PM

Someone on EDCF asked me to do that.... haven't got round to it yet!

Basically, mask off the bit you want to fill with masking tape.
Mix 2-part epoxy and then add lots of glow power to saturate it so it's quite thick.
Push it firmly into the holes and let it set (up to 24 hrs depending on your epoxy).
Remove tape and sand down very gently with something fine.
I then coated it with clear varnish as it is a bit porous and would end up filthy.

Essexman · **Reply #444 on:** July 14, 2012, 12:29:29 PM

I was told that sanding the GITD & epoxy type stuff will decrease the amount of glow? Something to do with breaking the surface of the particles that glow. Have you seen any effect like this due to sanding?

nuphoria · **Reply #445 on:** July 14, 2012, 02:19:30 PM

Nope, but then I did some very fine sanding and made sure the surface was left clean.

Pair of Minis. LM and Nitecore Sens

enki_ck · **Reply #447 on:** July 28, 2012, 06:51:42 AM

I just read up on the new nitecores, very cool. I must be ages behind in the flashlights development, never heard of these before.

I'd not read up on them myself, though I had vaguely heard of the basic idea. Cheers for sharing the article.

Very nice Dennis, you'll have to lets us know how you get along with the UI.

Gareth · **Reply #449 on:** July 28, 2012, 11:07:35 AM

Just realised that I don't think I ever put up my Fab Romisen 1xAA.
