That's great! Hopefully you get your replacement in a timely fashion. It really is a nice light. I wish Nitecore would get their QC together. I think they rushed them out unfortunately..
i think if they do a second run, more threads on the head or a shorter bezel will get the bezel sitting nice and flush to the head. and the derlin ring needs to have the tolerance a little tighter to keep it snug around the base of the reflector. besides that i think its a pretty solid light and cant wait til i can get one
now the cross threads on yours is sure a qc miss though
I was thinking of taking mine apart and putting a couple of very small dabs of silicon sealer on the derlin ring so it doesn't rattle. At least gap in my replacement is even. All of what you said above should have done from the start..
To better understand the UI, I created a colour-coded Quick Reference Guide or cheat sheet for the EA4 (in PDF format). You can download it from the following link…
I posted outdoor beamshots for Nitecore EA4
Left building are aproximate 140 meters. Center building are aproximate 300 meters and right building is aproximate 200 meters away.
I tryed to get best video fidelity but the camcoder will never pick 100% the brightness intensity and colors that can be seen with naked eyes.
