My Nitecore EA4

I’m not sure, but there appears to be a lot of ambient light in Rikr’s two beam shot photos. The second photo seems to show a lot of flood/spill on the house wall to the right and the car just ahead.

With all the members that have already received this light…Hasn’t anyone taken some beamshots in total darkness that provide a more distinct/truer beam profile?

Were you talking about the Maelstrom G5 in your comments about comparison that I have quoted below ?

Thanks Bruce

As I have both and did compare them too. Definitely more spill with the extra throw (bigger head and deeper lens) from the xml in the EA4.

Yes I was talking about the Maelstrom G5 for the spill and throw comparison. I use an Eagletac 18650 in my G5 but have some cr123a's in a surefire cr123a caddy for backup. Sorry to confuse you with the Fenix LD41 comparison comment.

Thanks

The direct comparison really helps. Is the difference big enough to make the G5 irrelevant ? Also, when the EA4 steps down, is it still brighter than the G5 on turbo ? Sorry to pester, but your answers will make the difference in whether I buy or not.

Close this thread now and stop saying good things about this light. I DONT NEED ANYMORE LIGHTS AND I DONT HAVE $60.00.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Too late for me. I already spent the money. Damn you Rick! lol!

hehehehe!!! You gotta love this site… We are one big happy family waiting to spend money we don’t have in the search of the Almighty light!!! :wink: :smiley:

How can anyone not like BLF? It's got friendliest, non stuck up people around. Plus, the admin's awesome. This place is a keeper :)

Glenn, You are so right!! I look so forward to getting on here and being part of such a great group of guys and gals!! Everyone is very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help another member out!!!

I have both and the EA4 wins hands down. Spill throw this thing has it all. The PA40s low is the only advantage it has going for it against this little beast.

Well, could you be so kind as to post a comaprative beam shot or two?

You ask and you shall receive

EA4

PA40

In person it is a lot more of a difference. This was my first attempt at beam shots so they are not perfect.

This is one of the few non-maglites I have seen that I actually think I would like. Oh well, hopefully someone will clone it soon and lower the price to about $25.

Really nice looking and pumps out the light, for 4AA. Anyone know what kind of amp draw it does? or has anyone tested OTF lumens?

Hey flashlight man

How does it look on the 550 lumen mode ? Seems like that might be the way to run it most of the time, with 850 only when needed.

Thanks Bruce

The thread fizzled before my questions got answered. :frowning: :slight_smile:

Nitecore....

hmmm...

It has 2 wide flat grooves cut into the body. The top and bottom are still rounded and there is no anti-roll except maybe the button switch.

I am wondering how durable the clicky button will last and if there are replacements for it.

Please can someone please explain to the better half and my darling children why I am sitting her crying at a computer screen?

Your new years first up build is to build this flashlight so that dummys like me can learn how the aa batteries work in whatever configuration and how to make the switch work with what ever driver you deem that will make it all work. No pressure, you are the nMh king. Thanks in advance.

There is no anti-roll on the light unless maybe when you have the lanyard attached.
