NiteCore EA4 @fasttech $46.60

Which ones brighter CW or NW ??
I ordered a CW version. U2-CW.

The CW version is brighter,and there is no U2 NW this is most likely T6 3C NW

I have both and can’t see any meaningful difference in brightness. EA4 Cool White - Neutral White Comparison Beam Shots -- New Pics Added on 1-11-13 | Candle Power Flashlight Forum One way around the high battery drain in turbo is to have one in each hand on high pointed at the same target. :bigsmile:

Anyone get theirs shipped yet?

Ordered EA4 NW on 21st of Jan. Still shows ” In Progress”

Bouight mine 21st also…messaged them yesterday and received reply this morn that they were sold out…told em i was kinda pissed coz I bought one when they were taking orders and THEN many hours later after purchase it was marked sold out.

They stated the ad read because of problematic stock “7 days to deliver” I never saw that. Anybody see that on page when you ordered? I never order when I see such.

Said they will have new stock in “couple days”. dunno… |(

Only the price is the pro here. Not happy about the way sale was handled at all.

Hmm, also ordered on the 21st, after receiving the alert email from them, that it was in stock. Not sure what to make of the below status. Not going to worry about it until at least another week or two pass.

I'm sure this has been covered, so forgive me for asking, and feel free to ignore, but how how do these perform on 14500 batteries?

Blue smoke and Flames will spew out…POOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ! ! !

LOL! Just found the manual, http://www.nitecore.com/UploadFile/Files/download/1-1_EA4_UM_EN.pdf

It's a shame it's not capable of handling 14500 batteries as well, but it will be good to have a very bright light that can run on primaries regardless.

Now if only FastTech would live up to their name and ship already...

it was shipped on the 19th. in all fairness, they did send me an email asking if i wanted NW or cool.

And 5 days to process it? Geeeshhhhh… SlowTech .

well… you cant trust hk or chinese tracking numbers. i dont think i have ever had a reliable one.
i think it was the 18th before i realized they sent me a message about the NW stock thing, and after i said ill take a NW if possible, it was marked shipped the next day.

actually, the only reliable tracking numbers i have had lately is from madecov and the ones from me shipping stuff through ebay. this tracking BS lately is crazy

Ordered EA4 NW on 20th of Jan. Still shows “Placed”

What “Placed” mean?

Most likely it means they ran out... took more orders than they had in inventory, and are now trying to get more in stock and to send out.

Price is good, so personally I'm just going to sit back and watch... I'm sure they will be able to fill the order in under 45 days, or they will refund on their own.

Wise words, i will do exactly the same :wink:

:wink:

mine hit san fransisco this morning… should have it monday id think. 12 days is not too bad from hong kong

Just noticed that the Fasttech price for both EA4 and EA4W has gone back up to $69.95 on their site (but it still out of stock). Hopefully this will keep Nitecore happy and release stock to Fasttech (who can then send me the one I ordered last Sunday). :bigsmile:
