I went NW, which is still well above 5200k I would say. Much cooler than a 3C emitter. Also, the output should be the same for both EA4 and EA4W; both use a U2 emitter.

139

Can one model be perceived to be brighter than the other? All other things being equal, of course.

140

I think the general consensus with NW vs CW is that CW is slightly brighter, but NW is softer to the eyes and therefore more eye-friendly.

141

EA4 is back in stock! :bigsmile: EA4W too.

142

This is still the best price right? About to take the jump.

143

Go Go Go! :slight_smile:

144

Done! I know Iā€™m telling the wrong crowd here, but this is the most Iā€™ve ever paid for a light- by 25 bucks or so.

145

I think youā€™ll be happy.

NiceCoreā€™s lights are of a pretty decent quality. I just wish it didnā€™t have its ridiculous MAP pricing. :frowning:

146

This was my first expensive light as well. Iā€™ve always owned $10 lights. Itā€™s a great light for those that donā€™t want to invest in non-AA batteries.

147

Was my first ā€œpremiumā€ light purchase alsoā€¦ Was well worth it. Youā€™ll love it

148

Thanks for the reassurances. I was torn between either this or the King on which to get first, and this one seems much more practical for the time being. Plus Iā€™d have to add another $15 to $20 onto the price of the King to account for batteries.

149

I just got my EA4. Great light, pocketable and throws a mean beam for 4xAA :bigsmile:

But Iā€™m not sure I received EA4W (NW version). The box says ā€œEA4 U2 SMOā€. How do you know which version is it?

150

the warm will say EA4W right on the light itself

151

Paranid, it should say EA4W on the side of the light. Mine came in an EA4 box.

152

Can you (or anyone) post a photo?

Because I think I received CW version, I ordered NW.

Mine looks exactly like this

153

Here you go:

154

Thanks Chloe and Pulsar!

Off to Fasttech support then :Sp

155

Aww, how annoying! Iā€™m sure theyā€™ll sort it out for you quickly.

156

I donā€™t remember what my EA4W box said because I recycled it, but on my EA4W, ā€œEA4Wā€ is laser etched onto the flashlight.

157

The same thing happened to Woody (I think), and he and FT had it sorted quite quick. Not sure how they made that mistake though. The W is hard to miss on the barcode on my box. Probably rushed because weā€™re ordering so much stuff :wink:
