That’s why I ordered the Cool White version, hoping the color is much better than the Natural White.

That’s my situation. I have so few AA/AAA doodads (not just lights) that it doesn’t really pay for me to “splurge”. A few teevee remotes, that’s it.
For lights, I’ve been using those EBL 14500s for most, Tenevolts 1.5V for lights that can’t handle >3V, LFP for boost-driver lights (brighter w/o frying the circuit), and that’s pretty much it. Only for those eeee-vil 3×AAA lights that Some People insist on buying :person_facepalming: did I think that maybe NiMH might work.
I love the A5, have been using it as a bike light for the past month, it’s super bright and the battery holds the charge well.

Maybe the best post on this subject ...My experience has been exactly the same as above . BUT sometimes people need to learn lessons themselves . I add to this that if some cells are found at about a buck a piece they can be tried . I've paid as little as ,25~50 cents per battery but they all die prematurely .If they pop up really cheaply I'll try some but wouldn't ever pay more than a buck each for Chinese junk ..it's just not worth it when they end up prematurely dying .
Dammit, I missed this one. Anyone know of a similar deal?
i think they die because of overcurrent during charging
if the capacity is really 500 mah, max charge current should not really be over 100-150 ma
chargers can;t set it automatically, most people don;t think to change it, most chargers don;t go that low
that is also a good way to kill 16340s, charge current too high
and the cheap ones that lie about their capacity, are the most liable to this damage
do a capacity test and find out

A while back I bought a common one that takes medium base screw-in bulbs, and I put in LED ‘bulbs’. Easy peasy.
I ‘third this motion’, so to speak.
My Powerex Imedion AND Tenergy D cells are now only half their original capacity, refreshing them don’t improve them.
Many Vipon deals, like this one, repeat every 24 hours for an unknown number of days. This deal goes active again in about 16 hours. And probably again 24 hours after that.
Of course it’s going to be 12:30 am for the next round. That’s way past my bedtime. 
between everyone in my family I have three of those ES5000s, they work great!
Got that yard light…gonna blast out the neighbors!
I just installed mine. We will see tonight.
Update : everything is working as it should and it is bright as hell. Good deal for $11.40.
Is there a way to shut it “off” on the fixture? I know there is someway to make it permanent “on”…
Might need to be able to shut if off if on occasion if blasting the neighbor…
It will be hard wired to the garage line…
Guess I could put an inline switch on it.
No way to turn it off at the fixture. The only settings are Test, 3 different time on periods and 3 sensitivities. You could add a toggle switch.
I have one of these on the garage. It daylights the whole area (and everybody else's!) Definitely recommend. And the motion sensor actually *works*.
Just ordered a WOWTAC A4 V2 for $39.95 in NW with a 26650 battery. Which is $10 off the regular price.
I have the 2x18650 version and it is one throw’in dude.

Nice find. Under $2 per Eneloop is always a good buy.
