Of those lights, the only one I own is the XinTD X3, so it'd be somewhat dishonest if I didn't choose it. The next AA light I plan to buy is the Lumintop SD10. The Eagletac is a lumen monster, but
Own the D40a and EA4.
Want XinTD X3. A nice looking torch.
And seems a bit different to the others in the poll (larger diameter reflector and different form-factor)
I have the DA40, the EA4, PA40, and XinTD- they’re all different.IMHO the EA4 and the D40A are most similar; I like the user interface on the D40 better, but the Nitecore is great also. I haven’t had the ballooning switch problem, because I don’t leave the EA4 in the car, I carry it with me in a bag.
I run the XinTD on 26650, so I don’t really consider it a AA light, except in case of emergency. So I would tend to group that light with my other 26650 lights: Shadow JM26, Shadow SL3, Shadow JM07, etc….not with the AA lights.
The PA40 is my all time favorite though- I have 3, 2 with OP reflector and 1 SMO- the form factor is perfect, and with the carbon fiber case, there is no worry of scratching. I carry a Powerpax with a set of spare (fully charged) AA NiMH (favorite is the Powerex 2700 non-LSD) and keep an Intellicharger i4 with a car cord in my glove box……just my two cents.
Excellent finish, two side buttons with plenty of modes and instant access to moonlight and high, hidden blinkies, low battery warning, moonlight to 900+ lumens with 4AA in a solid carrier and 1/4 turn lockout.
If you are a fan of CW LED and can spend the money then its the closest to perfect.
It gets used most in my house since I don’t like leaving Li-Ions in the lights.
It’s the light I find myself reaching for the most since I have gotten it.
And it is sitting next to 50 other lights.
Very well made and just has a beautiful beam profile and the UI cannot be beat.
Have no need for a EA4 after owning this light and that is not a knock on the EA4, this one just works better for me, YMMV.
The Lumintop has my interest, just because of all the battery options, but I’ll wait for the cheaper versions.
Thanks,
Keith
OK, Im now all ramped up to get myself SD10, where are those reviews some of you been promising “soon” :D?
And, what about group buy?!
EDIT:
So far cheapest ones I could find are 47.05$ at Kaidomain(pitty there is no coupon ) and HKEquipment with coupon for 47.99$.
Hmm, now if this came in NW/WW/HiCRI that would be even more awesome at this price!
Im seriously considering this light, but dont know hows the tint on T6?
