Enogear AA Stainless Steel (AA/14500)

The camera is exaggerating the collors,but they are there. Below I turned the tones down a bit to come closer to what I see irl.

That xml2 is a 80+ cri, but I think it’s a real tint lottery winner, just a perfect tint. Never going to swap that one out.

219b is a 9080, to be honest I find them a bit boring. And the latest batch of sw45 were to cold and violet for me. So I am glad to see new emitters lately with great tints and cri.

I didn't get an email confirmation on my first order either, but received it OK. If you create an account on Enogear.com before ordering, a history of your orders is listed therein, and you can be assured that your order is in the system. But before you order, make sure you are logged-in.

Reference my previous post, Jackie answered my email and said that he was glad that I liked the SS AA/14500 flashlights. He also told me to keep the extra flashlight as a gift. This makes me believe that I was sent the extra flashlight by mistake. I hope it wasn't someone else's order.

He also conspicuously didn't answer my question about the compatibility of the SS AA/14500 with 14500 batteries. However, I have been running a 14500 battery in one of my SS AA/14500 flashlights for about a week now without any problems. I would bet that orders going forward for quite-some-time are probably compatible since the product page boldly says so.

I liked mine quite alot. Unfortunately it died within a couple months with very little use. Not sure what I will do with it now. :frowning: I emailed Enogear very fast response and they are going to mail out a new head : )

Thanks for the IRL pic, Geuzzz. The NW Enogear looks much more pleasing than the yellowish tint in the other picture. Based on your pic and other comments, I ordered one in NW.

Marnav1, this light has a 1 year QA warranty. I’d contact them about the problem to see what they can do.

You’re welcome. You won’t be disappointed by the tint. Please let us know when it’s there.

Just shipped and got a tracking number. Might be bday present not xmas

Would it be possible for you to compare it with other lights (or a 18650 battery), just to have a notion of the size they have?
Thanks in advance!

Hope this helps….

Does anyone know how to remove the driver from the head?

Tint looks a little like a 5c. does anyone have the on the road m3 5c NW and the nw enogear SS light ?

i looked really hard at this light when Enogear first popped up on the scene the AA nw SS is really my cup of tea ..But low PWM is a deal breaker . I've only looked at this light 1000 times :P

Thanks so much! That is perfect! It is even smaller than the SP10B!
Thanks for taking time to make the photo(s)!
:+1:

As mentioned earlier, I have the OTR M3 with the 5C NW tint. It is spec’ed at 3500-4000K 5C. To me, mine is pretty warm, slightly less warm than the Enogear NW beamshot in post #174. I really like the OTR M3, just wish it was around a true 5000K, but I still highly recommend it to friends. Gotta love that magnetic tailcap.

I hate the lime yellow tint on the OTR NW so much that I gave it away. The Enogear AA NW is way better. It’s rosy color. The Enogear AA in the beamshot comparison above doesn’t look like the two NW I see in person.

My light has a removable 14mm Airayland driver, fixated by a retainer ring with six “lobes” on the inside. The ring has a normal thread, so to loossen it you have to turn it counter clockwise. It is quite hard to get a grip on. You might try it with a pry, but applying force on just one point is seldom any good. I managed to get it done by pushing the outside of a set of needelnose pliers into the inside of the (shallow) lobes. Fortunately there is an even number of lobes. Once the ring is off you can make slots, or drill holes, in it. For next time.

It is difficult to take a beamshot with this light, because of the very bad and low PWM. I can only take in high mode.
Mine has a really good white-rosy hotspot nothing to complain. The corona-spill is not good but you can see it only on the whitewall. I would say mine is like 4D.

Unfair comparison to see the hotspot… Left: 219B from ROT66. Right: EnoSS NW

I emailed Enogear, they are sending a new head. Nice : )

Ordered my NW on Saturday, and got an email on Sunday from Jackie saying it had shipped. Let the wait begin. :slight_smile:

Ordered in June 11. I haven’t received it yet. The mail may be lost. I am still waiting for the follow-up process. :cry:
