It looks like FastTech have the EA8 / EA8W for sale. Use PRICECONTROL as coupon code to reduce the price (advertised price is $99.90)…
[edit]
thanks 
nitecore sucks, but make some nice lights
pulled the trigger on this one!
I got one of these from Illumination Supply. I have to say I’m very impressed with the amount of flashlight you get for the price (in terms of features and performance). The UI’s a little tricky to get used to, but it’s workable.
edit: correct a typo
I already have a tk41. So why do I still want this one so bad? :~
you got to feed the addiction. dont try to fight it >)
It could be because of (in no particular order):
- no plastic battery holder
- lower low
- great UI
- neutral tint availability
I only wonder about reliability, for which I trust Fenix a more than Nitecore. We’ll see.
I think I’m going to sell my TK41 to get an EA8W.
I JUST ORDERED THIS LIGHT FROM http://www.predatoredc.com/nitecore-ea8-caveman/
AWSOME LIGHT….HERE IS A VIDEO ON THE NITECORE EA8 COMPARED TO THE NITECORE EA4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OfSN34m3eE
Hi greg, could you edit out the price paid please nitecore is a pain in the arse for price fixing. One reason I will never buy another nitecore product.
i ordered this light should get it tomm 
an interesting light
too expensive for me right now though… i dont have 8x eneloops so at best im looking at $100 even with the cheapest price out there
Very nice body style. Not crazy about 8 AAs, but for someone it will be great. But for me, yet another overpriced toy. I’ll pass.
thats about what im thinking, except i only use lithium primaries in my AA lights now… if it came out the same time as the ea4, it would have been a tough one.
anyone here actually have the ea8 yet?
also anyone into these aa lights, what will actually provide more amps/less voltage sag on aa lights? eneloops or good lithium primaries?
8 AAs is a lot. but, a lot of employers will provide free AAs. not me, just Ds…

looks great. how do you like it??
i like both of them very bright and solid lights
i like the low power on the ea8 run time 800 hours
nice beam shot… i wonder if my ea4 xml2 is about on par with the ea4 as far as “turbo” mode goes
Nice comparisment betwee the two lights.
Ordered a EA4 at fasttech and don’t know if I will buy the EA8 too since I have a SR90 and T60CS for throw and power too.
Maybe a second one for emergency cases or power outages, 22 hours on 4 AA’s with a bucket of lithium L91 blisters and you’re good to go!
Been playing with my EA8 u2 for a couple of days now.I also have the TK41 u2.The EA8 is bit shorter and more compact than the Fenix.The lower low is very useful and it appears to be just a bit brighter, with a more defined hotspot than the Fenix on high.At a lower price and with no battery carrier I would have to recommend the EA8 over the TK41.Now if the EA4 was re-released with the same low and the XM-l2 T63C…I would have to order one of those as well!-Rick
