Enogear AA Stainless Steel (AA/14500)

Thanks for noticing, ordered 2 in case they disappear again!

Was about to get two but then I looked through the other lights they had in the “other lights” section, couldn’t pass up a copper AA cube

It’s an excellent AA light. It’s great for gifting to muggles. Make sure you dont use 14500 with it or it will kill driver. I tried it.

Or…make sure you mod it to get a 14500 into it :smiling_imp:

I am curious to see if it will be modded or not, I will probably let it be as it is :wink:

Odd, I have one of the original ones that I have been able to use AA and 14500’s in without issue.

I almost ordered that one also!

Mine takes 14500s just fine... but it's the old Airayland driver. Maybe it was modded or something, but I don't think it was.

Some people had issues some didn’t with the first batch using 14500 but mine wasn’t the only one that killed the driver using 14500. That’s why Enogear/FF later changed the spec to say AA only. They made another version with built in usb charging that was 14500 only, which is another really excellent light that I’m surprised they aren’t selling. They are extremely easy to mod. I put in Optisolis and E21A emitters in them.

I also have the copper one, which seems too hard for me to mod. It’s unique but the tint is not good. If they can put in a 219B or SST20 2700K JA3 or 4000K FA3, that would make it really nice IMO.

Awesome. Thank you all for your information.

Ordered a spare thanks for the heads-up

Great lights for the money

That color on the bottom one has me regretting not getting a 2nd one. How did you get that color?

With a flame torch :smiling_imp:

thank you!
ordered two
I blame this picture for pushing me over the edge

I should have searched for PWM before buying :confounded:

there is PWM noticeable in Low and Medium.
woe is me

Shame to see that. I had seen a different review where the reviewer stated they didn’t see any by eye or with the camera they had. Maybe it won’t be bad PWM?

Oh it’s pretty bad on low, gets better on medium, can’t see it on high. I don’t see PWM unless it’s super slow or I turn my head quickly. Not annoying enough for me to stay away from it.

My daughter has some of those RGB light strips in her room with the slowest PWM I’ve ever seen. If I can see it, it’s horrible.

thanks for your comments
I cancelled my order

I can put 14500 in mine without any problem.

It is fairly easy to get apart and mod though. It’s put together kinda haphazardly. Sorta like put all the parts in and smoosh them together. For the real PWM sensitive people, consider it a good host. I got one with a 219b in it and another with sst-20. The other ones are still stock sitting in a drawer. Again the PWM doesn’t bother me so I had no need to swap in a driver. A ultratac A1 driver might be a good choice. Not certain on fitment issues. $19 for a nice stainless host, I think, is still pretty reasonable.

> $19 for a nice stainless host, I think, is still pretty reasonable.

yes, it does look like a nice host

other nice hosts with PWM include the AA Ti Tool, and the AA Thrunite T10T… they cost more but also weigh less than Stainless… choices are good… enjoy!

Nice. I guess there are no BLF coupons on FF website?
Because for me $19 for SS AA host seems high.

Seems like most are passing on this light on account of the PWM issue, but when I went to check my tracking number today I noticed some new stuff on the site. In addition to the Cree and Nichia, this light now lists the following emitter options that AFAIK weren’t there before:

SST20 4000K FA3 CRI95 (+$1.00)
SST20 2700K JA3 CRI95 (+$1.00)
