Enogear AA Stainless Steel (AA/14500)

Hmm... Turning off within 3-5 seconds from switching modes will have the aweful next mode memory.

Looks like longer than 3-5 seconds will have no memory...

Thanks. Overall, is it a well made light?

Its a well made light, but the driver is questionable! Pwm, no moon mode and this memory thing...

5 years ago this would have been normal, but not in 2018

Purchased one too, waiting it to arrive.
ChibiM, what’s the driver diameter? Would like to swap the driver but it’s kinda hard to find nice AA driver nowadays.

Its small, its 13/14 mm. There arent many drivers out there that small!

Thanks!

You're welcome

Edit: measured 13.8mm

Edit 2:

Maybe this driver wil fit: http://www.mtnelectronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=67&product_id=493

14500 only. But I think you need to add solder or a mini spring, for the positive side of the battery to touch the board.

I got an email saying it has shipped already .

Jackie was having a problem with his shipper. not his fault. i received my order after 3 weeks, just as described, the copper cube light. at least he answered all my pestering emails about the order and shipping, unlike the other one man show that never shipped my stuff

I received my Enogear AA stainless steel today and it actually does look very good and feels solid. Much better than I expected but not as good as the Reylight TiLan. The light is kind of spotty and is very rosy color unlike the typical cheap yellow/green. I will do some ceiling bounce measurements later.

Also the package and light smells bad like petroleum. I washed the flashlight inside out with soap and now I don’t smell it anymore.

Glad to hear you got yours. Mine has been shipped one month ago and still not delivered which is an unusual delay - it usually takes two weeks, but i sometime waited two month for an order…

About the petroleum smell… it seems a lot of orders from China have that smell, no idea why. It is especially noticeable when ordering cloth.

My order is approaching 1 month. Are they coming from China or India?

It came from China I believe. I tossed the box. They shipped mine out the next day of purchase.

Ordered mine 3/24, it was shipped 3/25 and I got it 04/18. Not too bad really. I wasn’t in a huge hurry to begin with. Anything coming from overseas I already know I am going to wait a bit. Too many unknowns with a package leaving another country and arriving through customs in this country. I don’t get nervous until about 45 days or so and thats only happened once and it arrived the next day.

Great little light by the way. Love the NW tint. Fit and finish are excellent. Clicky is very nice and quality feeling. Puts out plenty of light. PWM in low and mid, my eyes don’t see it and I can only hear it if I put it up to my ear and it’s dead quiet in the house. If it has next mode memory if turned off before 3 seconds, I haven’t noticed it. Guess I never use my lights for 2.99 seconds or less. Well spaced modes. No moonlight but that is just fine. I have many other lights that have excellent moon mode. I really don’t need one on every light I own. If every light I have had the same UI then it would be quite boring I reckon. I like company’s using UI’s that stand out and give them a bit of personality.

Overall just a good looking and great performing little light. Hard to beat for the price in my opinion. Going to pick up the Brass Cube in NW pretty soon. I have lots of Aluminum tube lights and C8’s and whatnot. I am starting to like all the different brass, copper, Ti, and stainless lights.

Thanks for the report . Sounds like a winner.

I put a EVVA Sanyo 14500 800mah protected cell in there and fried it :person_facepalming:

It started flickering and just turned off. Now even with AA eneloops it flickers like mad and turns off.

Oh, I want one. Going to wait until I move before I order.

So this has a odd driver size?

Driver is 13.8mm on mine

That’s not a good thing . Let us know how CS is.

I ordered this light as well as the brass AA cube light on Friday and on Sunday morning received a notification that they had shipped. Looks like they have removed the need to provide them with anything other than an email address before checking out with paypal.
