Enogear AA Stainless Steel (AA/14500)

That’s a lot of flashlight for $15! Thanks for the review ChibiM.

Did you test it with a 14500 battery? Just wondering how hot it gets in high. There’s no mention of a turbo timer or thermal regulation.

Unfortunately I don't know yet.
I have an AA battery installed(because it's currently a family light). But I just tried using an Olight 14500, (not fully charged), and it didnt have a noticeable drop in output. So I have to retest this again with a full(er) 14500

Running a test now, and it doesnt have a turbo timer nor thermal regulation.

At start it had a ceiling bounce of 220lux

Now, after 7 minutes it has a total of 180lux

I looked at the lux meter, and the output declined slowly.

So it sagged about 20% in 7 minutes. (no cooling) Not the brightest flashlight out there.

Perfect mode spacing. :+1:
How about PWM? Does iy use PWM, and if so, is it visible or audible (like when you shine on a black cloth or from the switch / spring)?

Wish i had seen this thread before, would have grabbed one for $14.90

Hey Jerommel,

I updated the OP.

yes, PWM is present in both Low and Medium, unfortunately.

PWM is present AND audible…

I wish I had seen this before I placed an order on Enogear website.
They took my paypal payment and I have not heard anything at all since.
My emails have not been answered either.
Should I consider this a hostile website and get paypal involved?
Thanks

I think Enogear is one person. Jackie Chang (Zhang)

I sent a PM and emailed his hotmail account but no reply yet.

Like the flashlight, do not like the un-secure website asking name ,address, email, phone etc.
Site needs Https or straight thru pay by Paypal with Paypal handling shipping address info.

Are there any other outlets for this Flashlight?
Thanks

It uses PayPal. I just purchased 1. If you’re talking about Enogear.

Now back to 14,90 USD again: http://www.enogear.com/pd.jsp?id=81#_pp=2_359

I ordered one of these in january but until now is not arrived,I opened a dispute on paypal,so for me this website is a scam.

Taking a chance considering the above comments. I just ordered one for 12.60 euro. Quite a soft price for this nice SS 14500 light.
Now i hope it will get delivered someday…

I just made an order on that website. It doesn’t require entering any personal information anymore. Just goes straight to paypal. I figured since it only cost $14.90 for a very nice looking stainless steel light, I took a chance. Can anybody describe how this light operates? The review does not mention the UI.

I have already been refunded by paypal.
What more can I say?

Yesterday morning i received a mail from Jackie Zhang/Enogear saying my light has shipped by HK mail post. That was fast! Sounds good so far.

Same here, I got shipping notification from Jackie Zhang/Enogear within a day of purchase. Hopefully the light don’t disappoint.

Lo-med-hi

Clicked on the link a few days and every time it was listed for $19.90. Until a few moments ago: it’s back to $14.90. So I ordered one. Maybe the website itself is not secure, but without logging in the checkout links directly from cart to Paypal. Now it’s just a matter of wait and see when it shows up at my doorstep.
