Nice light, BUT I will never understand the logic behind choosing this type of stepping the brightness levels, I mean from 30 lumens to 200 lumens!! Why? Why not something like 80 lumens in the middle which would be a lot more useful with longer runtime than the maximum 200 lumens actually. OK, keep the 200 lumens as turbo mode, for emergencies, but 80-100 lumens would double the run time with enough light to use even outdoors, walking at night, etc. That "wasted" space between 30 and 200 lumens doesn't make sense to me...
Can't go wrong with E12. And as much as I am tempted to buy one of the Rovyvon Aurora lineup, my E12 v1 is still king as it is simple to operate and all you really need. Once it dies if at all I will be geting the v3 or whatever iteration of the E12 is currently on the market. For me the AA battery and low medium high is all you need. 130 to 200 lumens is plenty and even the highend flashlights default to 200 lumens after sometime to prevent overheating. I love the metal tail switch as the rubber breaking on mine was something that temporarily killed it after moisture got on the switch, but managed to fix it and fit a new rubber button. Many times have I wanted a magnetic tail cap as keeping it in my mouth is the reason it faulted the first time. The v3 looks like a solid successor, my only gripe would be the memory mode as I know it is a good thing but I kinda got used to starting from the lowest and do relly on that order when using it at night.
Your E12 V2 has a more useful high mode. This new V3 does not sustain the 200 lumens according to the runtime graphs as it falls pretty much instantly and continues to lose brightness. For Medium, Low and build quality the V3 is better.
Fortunately, Fenix is introducing SFT diodes, because the yellow and greenish SST already discourage me from buying them. Even cold SST20s are yellowish, and SST40 and 70 are greenish. SFT does not have these problems.
This video seems like the reviewer was being paid to say these things or given this flashlight for free because there were no critical comments or subjective opinions. I doubt this thing is totally perfect, so to me that's not honest reviewing. If I just want to hear how awesome it is, I can go watch the Fenix company videos. Secondly, why does the beam look so yellow in some shots? I had read comments about this elsewhere but thought maybe they just got a one-off lemon. Can anyone else verify the tint color of the LED on this light? That's really the only thing that would keep me from buying one.
I have an e12v2 and I like the color of the light. In e12v3 I see a yellow hot spot... And I was thinking about buying it, but after what I saw I won't buy it. I also have an E20v2 and it is also a great flashlight and the light is a little warmer than the e12v2, but it is not as yellow as in the e12v3.🤮
If Fenix producers read this... Maybe it's worth thinking about a double-click return to the previous mode? If you have flashlights with 5 modes, it is difficult to switch between all of them, as for example in the fenix C7. for example, if the mode is high, a double-click could go back to the previous medium mode, another double-click and it goes to low mode. I have such a system in one of the flashlights from another manufacturer - a great idea with a large number of modes.
Great video. Thanks! Please stop gesturing with the light and just hold it still so we can see it. Haha. Would have been nice to see a few more beam throw demos. Great video though otherwise! Much appreciated!
Fenix is better. P3 core has unbelievably mushi button, plus p3 is running on AAA and not AA like a fenix, wich means worst performance. Zoom function is really gimmicky in case of this little light. On top of that ledlenser is just splash resistant not waterproof. Edit: I own p3 core and don't use it. I always grab AA light from acebeam, olight or fenix.
I miss the copper accent tbh. If your camera has that color recorded accurately and the beam has a hotspot like shown at 2:24, then no thanks. The V2 lets you easily read labels and manuals/books etc if you hold it back slightly and high is bright enough to see far enough to take out the trash or keep tabs on my sister's dogs are over and they go out at night. While the magnet is nice, this seems like a few steps backwards. And I wish companies would let me choose between always starting with low and remembering last setting used. Btw you move the light with every syllable and it's super distracting.
This is a nice video but when you say "any other light you find on any other market" doesn't have the quality or durability or features of this light is very misinformed. Just stick to saying what is true!
Almost had me sold until I saw the evil Fenix green tint! So terrible looking. Come on Fenix! This green tint on Fenix lights is killing their bottom line! I so want to love this light but I just can’t. Smh 🤦🏼♂️ A strobe mode would be excellent for emergencies if need to get found.

I already have the E12 V2 and I’m impressed. I’m Looking forward to this! I will order several units when it becomes available to my country.

I have this torch. All is good, except the greenish light, especially at low lumens.
Love it, and i like the tint
the colors glows up
Holy crap that's a nasty Tint
That's what she said!!!

I have the E81r v 2.0 works great ❤❤

Why don’t they engineer for 14500 and AA. Seems like a miss here.
This is engineered for exactly AA-batteries?
It needs a
And still no 14500 battery upgraded
Why ??

Fenix e12 or ledlenser p3 core which is better according to their respective price?

Green tint?? Yellow tint it is!
Warm white and brighter than the V2.

Typical fenix. Excellent build quality. Efficient circuit. Terrible tint and no true low mode. I’m done with them.
Ok. So what's your go to brands? I'm really curious.
Mostly because im also done with few of them.
