review: nitecore MT10A

What is the difference between this and the EA11. Same battery formats and red light as well ? Seems to be some cross over here.
I do however like both lights but now I’m not sure which to get. The EA11 seems to be smaller so maybe better for edc.
Thanks and great review by the way :slight_smile:

I was interested also as I already have the EA11. Below is one reviewers take over at Reddit.com

You gain the forward clicky switch, with momentary activation (while still being able to tail stand), which is a definite plus. You also gain a lot better run times on ultra low and low outputs, compared to the EA11. Unfortunately, based on Nitecore's own spec's, you lose 1700 candela, and 20 meters of range (probably because of that orange peel reflector). To me, that's a poor trade-off. That, alone, make me inclined to not even consider this light. I'm pretty happy with the EA11, overall.

The difference between 900 lumens and 920 would be completely imperceptible to the human eye; so no real gain, there.

Better perfomance with NiMH with this MT10A over the EA11. :smiley:

Nice review, thanks!!! I prefer this over the EA11, no doubt.

G'Day M4D M4X,

Very Good review.

Thank you Very Much,

George

I would prefer this with a SMO reflector without the red light.

That is really bad that the ano scratched so easily and does not match. I am amazed nitecore puts out such low quality now. My P12 has really nice nice ano.

?????

M4D MAX, Nice review

I would call the “halo” the Don King hear do. (a US joke I think :wink:

freeme it looks like the link is gone and thank you for your work and GB thread!

Freeme, does your post refer to this?:

Was anyone else a little apprehensive scrolling down the review pictures, not sure if we’d see any “moon” shots? :smiley:

I have the same question as well!

The EA11 has horrible runtimes on an eneloop iirc…

What a waste by using eneloop on EA11 in terms of brightness?

thanks guys for the nice words!
even if no moon showed up :wink:

tailstand is possible, but not very stable

i think the tailswitch is a big improvement over the EA11

today to get to the mail boxes (po boxes) this light i t was worth it to me ,and I felt like a kid at Christmas I live this little light the only problem I have is that my sanyo flat top 840 mah don’t work ,other than that I am happy thanks M4D M4X for the re iew and discount code !

Your hard work is appreciated.

Thanks for a good review, both written and video.

I’m in the office right now and i can’t see the video or pics (blocked) and i have a question. Are the side switch made of soft or hard rubber or the plastic type like the Olight s15…?

after a short trip into the mancave i can say : soft rubber

Bummer. MT10A is officially off my wishlist.

why?

hmmm soft is flexible term….

i can deform with the finger nail
but a normal operation will not i think…

maybe you can give me something to compare with?
