Hi Brad
Selfbuilt has the TK35 at 20,150 lux. Do you think his 100 yard beam shot of the TK35 would be pretty close to what could be expected from the EA4 ?

Isn’t the EA4 listed at 20,000? If so you would be hard pressed to notice 150 difference.
your testing my resolve aren’t you
rikr: flashlight man: rikr: Pulsar:how does that button feel?
It feels tight not spongy. I dig the blue light on the switch, I think that is such a cool feature!!
You like this little guy dont you?
I do!! It is very impressive for how small it is. I am so glad I got it. Whoever decides not to get this light is making a big mistake!! I can’t get over how far it throws!!

You will thank me when you get yours!!
Guys,
I’ll be honest with you. When you got a pocket rocket this size that throws about like a TK35, that’s saying something for this light. That’s pretty dang bad to the bone when you think about it. And the light is a looker!

ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS:At 20,000 lux, it will have less throw than a TK35 to put that in perspective.
Yep.
Selbuilt revised it with his new light meter that has been calibrated to ANSI standards.
He now has the TK35 at 22,500 lux. I think the TK35 may have a slightly bigger mm head, but other than that this EA4 should compete with it especially for the price and its size.
If you have been following my recent high-output/multi-emitter light reviews recently, you may have noticed some discussion (on my part) of the accuracy of my standard lux light meter for throw measures. I have a custom set-up with a...

To be honest i wish i had gotten this light instead of the cyclone but i didn’t know about it at the time
I’m partial to the blue also. but that’s all preference

I like this one.

Is the flashing red power switch the low battery indicator?
How much less bright is the light on the next level down from the top ? It sounds like high would be very temporary due to heat.
Craig over at illumination supply has a sale going on. discount code ea4
and receive the light in about 3 days
Thanks for the beamshots but I decided to pass as I have too many lights at almost the same lumens!
thing thats so attractive on this one isnt the lumens, its the form factor of it
im just waiting for someone thats actually bought it that has something negative to say… dont see it coming though
Only thing is they need a low lumen…say like 7-10 lumens…then could be utilized as a survival torch also wtshtf.
I’ve got the feeling they’re gonna do it lower in the second run. It’s only thing kept me from it up to now.
Check this out
This is how they sit side by side, S65, Tk35 and EA4.
TK 35 definitely has a bigger head.
The low on TK35 is lower of course.
Tk35 has a greener tint than EA4. EA4 on the right, TK35 on the left. Both should be at Turbo.
EA4 on the left, S65 on the right, on max for both. S65 is green but can’t be seen on these iPhone photos.
S65 has a lower low of course.
Ouchyfoot: duro:Well, I’ve decided to pass. My logic is this; I own a pa-40 neutral in the same led bin/tint. The Ea4 neutral is a XML t5…If it were a t6 neutral, I’d buy it already. I’m waiting for a better XML neutral tint. Hopefully the t6 is it….Besides, I own a thrunite tn30 neutral XML t5 as well. Also, I’m waiting for Eagletac’s new light….That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. (as I try my hardest not to buy the ea4)…I will however look forward to my dads response when he receives his ea4 x-mas gift.
Thanks ILIKEflashligts, for putting the throw in perspective.
The EA4 is a T6 3C
Hrm, Craig from Illum. Supply checked with nitecore and they said it’s a T5. Where did you hear it’s a T6?
I checked with Hank Wang at Intl-Outdoor when it was first introduced. He informed me that it was T6 3C. This seems about right for the newer released flashlights. I noticed that Sunwayman has also released a C20C neutral T6 3C.
The new Nitecore EC25 also comes with T6 3C.
T6 3C really has a good tint. I have them in my Shadow TC6 and my DIY Stainless Steel 26650 light. It is nowhere as dim as regular neutral or warm tints. I stacked some from Fasttechs sales.
after playing with this light for 3 days - this is a keeper for my collection. great neutral tint with a modest amount of throw and useable spill, runs on eneloops and aa’s, small form factor (I love short, stubby lights like the King, TM11 etc. they just feel better and are more fun to me), good electronic switch.
my only gripe is that there is no mode around 10 lumens, but this really isnt that bad. I edc a keychain light with a micro mode.
at $59 shipped I will never sell this one.
Just got a shipping notice from illumination Supply!. That was fast!
