Enogear AA Stainless Steel (AA/14500)

Enogear sent me this light as a gift for helping out with their first giveaway. So it wasn't meant to become a full review anyhow, so I will just do a short show and tell.

See their sales page: http://www.enogear.com/pd.jsp?id=81#_pp=0_455_5

Looks like Enogear turned into Fireflies?

Here is the new link:

It's 19,90 USD,

Includes no strap, just a clip and a clamp for adding a strap. Packed inside a plastic case and bubble wrap.


Ui:

Lo-med-hi

Memory:

No... But if you turn it off within the first 3 to-5 seconds it will go to no next mode next time you turn it on.

Driver: 13.8mm

Amps on eneloop:

  • Low= 0.15A,
  • Medium= 0,6A
  • High= 1.8A

  • Low= 7 lumens
  • Medium= 39 lumens
  • High= 124 lumens

No moon ;)

No blinkies :)

Mode spacing:

  • 8%
  • 30%
  • 100%

Turbo timer?

Running a test now, and it doesnt have a turbo timer nor thermal regulation.

At start : ceiling bounce of 220lux

After 7 minutes it has a total of 180lux

I looked at the lux meter on and off, and the output declined slowly.

So it sagged about 20% in 7 minutes. (no cooling)

Driver:

14mm (13.8mm)

PWM:

  • Yes, present and noticeable when moving the light quickly at Low and Med..
  • Not present at High.

The size

  • Length: 80mm
  • Width: 19mm

LED:

  • NW XPG2

Reflector:

  • Nope, it's TIR, 45 degrees

Some pictures

Threads.

Good and not sharp

LED:

NW XPG2

Driver;

Inside Spring near tailcap

That driver seems familiar to me… it’s the same in my CNQG brass AA (clicky)
I don’t like the mode spacing and it lacks a true Low (or Moonlight), we’re 2017, nearly 2018… manufacturers need to step it up !
Anyway, it seems well finished and for 15 bucks it’s a good light IMO

Nice looking light. XPG2 & snap on clip though.

I think so too. I think for $15 its a nice AA SS light.

it look nice.

purchased one to try out :slight_smile:

Can somebody explain this, good or bad?

“TIR lens , 45 degree light angle”

depends on what your needs are. 45 degrees isnt for throw, but not a real flooder either. Kind of an in-between beam ;)

It’s unclear what the mode spacing is and whether this is a forward or reverse clicky.

There are even more questions unanswered :p

reverse.. will check current draw (mode spacing) later

Got you!

Low= 0.15A,

Medium= 0,6A

High= 1.8A

8%-30%-100%

Like the flashlight, do not like the un-secure website asking name ,address, email, phone etc.
Site needs Https or straight thru pay by Paypal with Paypal handling shipping address info.

Are there any other outlets for this Flashlight?
Thanks

This is a good catch. In 2017 a person shouldn’t be entering personal info into an un-secure website.

pretty cool light! I only have 1 smaller stainless steel light, the ex DITO light. this one looks way more attractive.

oh bugger… now you got me abit worry.

i already purchased one :frowning:

Darn it. I didn’t notice the site was unsecured either. Wouldn’t have ordered had I seen that.

did you use paypal?

if you didn’t, was the page you entered your card data https?

I used paypal. I don’t shop online unless they take paypal. Amazon is about the only exception. Have had our CC compromised too many times, and it’s usually at the worst time like when on vacation.

But it still ticks me off that my address, phone number and email address is out there now on an unsecured site.

Anybody knows this company?
They seem to be located in Bhopal, India according to their phone number?

Nice light by the way…
