It has long been gone are the days when the company Fenix represent something truly innovative and something that still has no competitors. The new model is the flashlight Fenix LD75c lamp series or even the entire line of lamps – depending on how you perceive it. The model cannot be called unique as some competitors have similar models. But about the competition will not speak because they do not have, but in the hands of so LD75c about it and we will go further.
Flashlight granted to review the company Fenix in its international company reviews of new products.
Though the new model but the company any model of Maxim is working and uses previously proven technologies. About the flashlight Fenix LD75c can say the following:
- Small size
- 4 LED XM-L U2
- Secondary LED MC-E with 4-color crystal (red / blue / green / white)
- A combination of the basic works with colored diodes
- Indication of battery power
- Temperature control for that would not overheat diodes
- The possibility of the lamp only on half of the battery (2 power circuit)
And of course, it has already become standard points – Coated glass, protection from improper installation elements, aircraft-grade aluminum.
The size of the flashlight is not much more LD50, so a flashlight is quite compact for its size.
The flashlight Fenix LD75c can stand on the tail which is convenient when using the reflected light from the ceiling. Lanyard to the lamp is mounted on the part of the rear cover. On his head is a “shock” the edge, but it is out of the ordinary aluminum. Developed cooling fins, as well as the torch, heats up during operation.
Carving a lamp rectangular profile, there is a sealing gum. Two guides protruding pin contact is in the lid. Contacts in the cover coincide with the battery contacts and do not scroll when opening / closing. Contacts in the cover though flat but biased. A contact in the body is spring.
As elements of the flashlight Fenix LD75c may use two, four element 18650, or 4, 8 CR123. In the case of the half-source unit will work only half of the main LEDs.
Management lanterns displayed on the 3 buttons are located at the head of the flashlight Fenix LD75c. Buttons E-type, stand out above the lamp housing.
- Icon button on / off switch is responsible for the main light (2 or 4 LEDs) (hold the button turns on the last used mode, go through the cycle, 5 modes available cost – minimum – medium – maximum – turbo)
- The button with the letter “C” (color) is responsible for the color mode LED (holding the button includes a central color LED has a memory of the last regime. Regimes are on a cycle of red – red flashing – “a police beacon” a combination of flashing red and blue LEDs – Blue – green). If you hold the C button for 3 seconds the color LED to show battery level (green (full charge) – Blue (high charge) – Red (low battery level) – Red flashing (critically low)
- Lower the button responsible for strobe mode (short press) and the inclusion of maximum mode (hold button)
The flashlight Fenix LD75c a travel search or flashlight. Its size and power are often redundant. When the flashlight is well heated and turbo mode has a time limit of work to avoid overheating. Therefore, the turbo mode after the 1st turn on the flashlight runs 3-7 minutes and then the brightness is reduced, as is the flashlight has cooled turbo mode will not be available.
Colored LEDs due to its location provide a broad illumination with a few artifacts from the reflections and beam shape than it looks like a 4-sheeted clover.
About the usefulness and uselessness of colored LEDs have already mentioned more than once so briefly again.
- Red – night vision (eye loses the ability to see in the dark)
- Blue – for tracking wounded game hunting (better visible bloodstains)
Pros the flashlight Fenix LD75c – here can be attributed all of its features, so I will repeat:
- Small size
- 4 LED XM-L U2
- Secondary LED MC-E with 4-color crystal (red / blue / green / white)
- A combination of the basic works with colored diodes
- Indication of battery power
- Temperature control for that would not overheat diodes
- The possibility of the lamp only on half of the battery (2 power circuit)
Cons the flashlight Fenix LD75c:
- There is no protection against accidental activation
- Do not have a tripod socket screw (cannot install on a tripod, it is possible, competitors)
The flashlight Fenix LD75c is very interesting and will certainly be useful for those who are really in need such power. And if LD75c seems overly expensive or redundant model is not worse than the LD50.
