Enogear AA Stainless Steel (AA/14500)

Love my AA stainless so much I now carry it just about everywhere. Debating on either the Brass Cube or the Titanium 18650. I know that I will end up with both eventually, just can’t decide which one first.

does anyone know a way to open the head to change the led?

i suspect the pill is press fit and couldn’t work out how to change the led. The cold tint is horrible :frowning:

Sorry, can`t help you with that. I have tried it, but couldn't open it.. (haven`t tried it hard enough though)

That titanium light with the screwy pattern is quite tempting…
Now if i could receive the SS AA i ordered five weeks ago… :person_facepalming:

I ordered a month ago and still waiting it to arrive.

Also a month and still waiting. Even had to break the “only one light in the mail” rule because of this one :wink:

I think it was about 3 weeks it took for mine to get here. Jackie may be quite busy. Seen a lot of talk on here about the lights and the giveaway he started as well. That might have pulled in a bunch more business as well. I have talked to him by email a few times. Easy to talk to and very nice. I do know that anything I order from him will come faster than anything I ever order from Ali.

Still not received it.

My order is passed 5 weeks . Sent both email and PM but no answer yet.

7th week of waiting… :person_facepalming:
Since then i received a dozen orders from China.
Enogear: please take notice and change your shipping method!

Well, in my case it’s just over 6 weeks (from march 22nd). Still nothing received.
Have ordered 3 times since that date and they all arrived.

Mine shipped March 23rd. Yesterday I was asked to wait another week to see what happens.

March 26th, also still waiting.

They agreed to ship me the replacement head. Will probably have to wait a month for it to come.

ouch... I hope they will get that shipping problem sorted out before too long! It will cost them customers!

Received my light this afternoon (47 days). Delivered by the regular mail(wo)man. Packaging was adequate, light was looking good. Put in a Windyfire 14500 IMR. It went from low, to med, to high, and into some blinkie mode and than stopped. Removed the 14500 and put in a Duraleak. Very faint version of three modes, with one very eye-blinding exception. Put the 14500 back: same reaction. Never saw the flash again.
Tried to open it. Well, good luck. The body-plus-switch is screwed on to one side of the pill, and the head is screwed on to the other side of the pill. So when you open the light it is going to be a kind of a lottery to which part the pill will stick: to the head or to the body. Any way, I am not completely sure if the malfunction lies in the driver or in the led, but I noticed that the dome of the led was damaged (melted ?!?).

Not sounding too good. Still waiting for mine . Hope they aren’t all like this . Let us no how this works out for you and good luck.

Not sure i understand what the problem has been…? It stopped working on 14500? What flash do you refer to? Sorry this is a bit confusing.

Mine is still not there. I’m closing on two month waiting…

Well from the beginning, because my french is not good enough.
1/ put in a 14500, clicked on, low-mid-high, it did not return to low but started flashing and than stopped working,
2/ put in an AA, first nothing, later retried, very faint low-mid-high, after few cycles one fierce flash (in my face :nerd_face: )
3/ tried several times more, on 14500 as well as on AA. sometimes faint low-mid-high, sometimes nothing
4/ and the led looks like is has melted

OK, thanks! Something went wrong obviously… and cooked the led?
This sounds like the typical AA driver that cannot withstand Li-ion. :person_facepalming:

I think someone already mentioned having an issue after using a 14500…?

PS: here it is - 4/22

@SKV89: any news about this issue and Enogear CS?
