There is one reason I dont own a flashlight with a Nichia led is because the better half reads this forum and she may get jealous as members on this forum think it is so good thanks mainly to OL.

Looks good. High-CRI Nichia 219 would be a must-buy if the price was good.
Thread title says 14500/AA but ops post says 10440/AAA - what gives??
This is a nice enough looking light, but can’t see the point in what it offers over the BLF Mini tbh. Drive this hard and you’ll only end up with shockingly crap runtimes and huge heat.
The Trustfire Z8 has been sold for $11-14 before and would seem to be more torch than this one.
Not saying I hate - I don’t. But can’t say I’d be all that excited about it either.
Would have to agree.
There are lots of good AA lights around already. Would be pretty tough to make a case for another one.
I would love to see more Chinese lights with Nichia 219.
Absolutely.

High CRI Nichia or GTFO 
Dudes… Trustfire gave Rey a hard time even when they only have to install Cree NW last time. BLF A8 - remember? Two months of yada yada - cannot source, not enough stock, need to order MOQ et al.
And they can’t even make this simple “bin change” right as some claimed NW are not quite NW at all.
Now, imagine how TF would deal with a whole new Nichia 219 which it does not have experience with. Who’s to know they would even source the right one - there are lots of Nichia’s emitter.
No, I won’t trust TF for the job.
Well…. that settles that then….
XP-G CRI min 90

So buy two. She’s paying for them anyway.
Rey, do you think Tank007 or Xeno might be interested to make a BLF light? Just an idea.
+1 highcri or nichia 119/219
Currently only TF host is available.
Can it use both types, 10440 and AAA? What is output on each type?
scroll down this page for more info:
it looks like this light can host PLOTECTED 10440's. and it comes with one.
disadvantages: heavy, cant' tailstand, old emitter, heavy, no accessories. and it's heavy. oops did i mention this already? ;)
Interesting. More realistic than nichia Rey?
Like the idea of superlow mode. Could be a useful light with superlow + hi only. Kinda like the original Ti… Maybe 0.5 / 60 lumen (on NiMh).
