Just noticed that it does have a moonlight mode (long click from off). Missed that - it’s among the details of SOS, strobe, Aviation signal, police strobe, which has a tendency to send me to sleep when I read about them.
I would rather have a smooth reflector. As far as lumens, my EA4 is the XM L2 version with 950+ lumens so that is pretty much a push. I like the way the EA4 holds it’s batteries without a battery holder. Probably a better button on this light than the somewhat flimsy button on the EA4.
I do like this style and shape lights that use AA batteries. Probably buy one soon.
Wallbuys has the D40A for $77.58. I asked them to lower the price closer to BatteryJunction, and they delivered. I think the May 15% off code will work too.
I have a review sample inbound (not free, just discounted), but I doubt it will get here before the May sale ends…
Ever since I got the EA4W, I have a thing for them too. They are pocketable (EA4 is a little shorter), good run time, and look nice too. This D40A really looks nice, better than EA4. The button should be more durable too. It’s flush with the host.
I have a primal fear of shearing that EA4 button off when putting it in a pocket or brushing it against something. Looks impossible to replace.
