Very nice. Would be good to have a low mode also.

$26

Yeah...the output and single mode is a little disappointing. 50 just not quite enough for a high mode and not having a nice low mode hurts in comparison to the competition. It sure is a gorgeous little light though. Looks like it should be worn on the end of a gold chain and tucked into the vest pocket of a tuxedo.

It’s nice.
Maybe I would buy if the flashlight had two modes.
Maybe I would buy it if the price was $ 20.
But $ 26 and only one mode. I think not enough tempted.

After the Nitecore EA4 this is the second light in a short time that is ruined by the choice of mode(s), at least for me.

Low for a high, high for a low but might just be the optimum with CC driver to achieve maximum usable lumens + runtime 8)

Very true. Claimed 90 minutes of runtime off of a regular AAA is nothing to sneeze at. I’m just spoiled by very low low modes when getting up in the morning. 50 lumens is very bright at 5am when you want to get around without disturbing anyone or blinding yourself.

JohnnyMac you mean AAA

Why yes, yes I do. Correction in another minute…

This seems to be targeted at the non-flashaholic population, of which there are more than us.

Most cannot be arsed with modes or mode changes, and this looks to fit the bill for them nicely.

A bit of work on the pricing would guarantee more sales, as I would buy a handful for holiday prezzies were the price to drop below twenty $US.

True that!

@ Fasttech now for under $12 with discount code: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1/10003131/1316300-blackshadow-eva-cree-xp-g-r5-80-lumen-ecd-led-flas

At $12 its starting to look nice! As long as the head isn’t glued. Can’t stand being unable to mod lights! Even if I never get around to modding it.
Wish it could tailstand.

Its an nice & interesting design. Just wish they made that one ledge in the tail flush to create a T, might be enough to tailstand on in a pinch.

Dangit I just found this light, got obsessed, then bought it from Intl-outdoor for $17 bucks. Check back here and fasttech could’ve saved me 5 bucks!

How long ago did you order?

Would you let us know if the head screws apart (stainless steel part)?

What would happen if I put a lithium 10440 in this light?

it would be the brightest light “EVA” :stuck_out_tongue:
