Lithium primary batteries (Energizer Ultimate Lithium L92) are completely fine to use, Li-Ion on the other hand should not be use in the C01 (bad things will happen if you do).
I received my light yesterday, delivered to Florida. Ordered on November 10 and delivered on December 15, so 35 days. Just passing along this info for those still waiting on delivery in the US.
I would like to order one of each tint. I see there are some issues with weak pocket clips.
Is there a good aftermarket clip I can buy separately that fits the light?
Or is there expected to be a new batch rolled in soon that addresses the issues? I don’t want to be too demanding for $6.
Here is all the tracking info, that I can see now. I didn’t track it daily, so I don’t know when the tracking went back “online.” I do know I had no updates at all for about two weeks.

Yep, we’re neighbors. :+1: . I ordered 22 November & got a ‘6 January extension email’ today also. I’m betting we will both have them before Christmas or shortly thereafter.
Time will tell if that prediction is correct or not.
Looking forward to receiving this light, hopefully by the end of this year. I signed up for USPS email notifications since I was tired of checking on my USPS bookmark
Oh yeah, I remember now that you mentioned it!! I feel the same way, the EA45S is a great light. In fact, if I was forced to choose 1 light…. I think the EA45S would be it.
I did not realize there was a “new version”…. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
