Actually the Peak Eiger Ultra is a very nice light compared to my other flashlights. I’ve been playing around with it and I can understand why people like it so much. It’s lightweight, medium light throw is great for hiking around at night, high CRI is a nice feature and makes colors look more natural. It’s still pretty bright compared to my cool white Preon P1 running a 10440. For intensity, the Streamlight Microlight C4 seems to be the most focused and intense.
I didn’t say Peak’s customer service was great. I didn’t say you could call their boss anytime. I’m not selling you anything. I said that they don’t seem to answer newbie emails.
Obviously you don’t read English very well.
Look at who posted those comments before accusing people.
I have a bag full of AAA lights, including the I3 and I3S. Personally I would go with the I3S, which has a long list of improvements over the original I3, including a much better constant current driver, superior build quality and machining, not to mention an XP-G2 and moonlight mode, just to name a few. There’s really no comparison in my mind. The I3 was a nice light but the low frequency PWM made me nauseous. Both versions will take a 10440 with the caveat that you’ll melt something if you leave it on high too long.
The Peaks all look like great lights and certainly have a loyal following. Not really my thing, but it’s hard to go wrong with a flashlight made by hand from people who understand flashlights better than most. If you value build quality and overall craftsmanship above all else, then they are worth taking a look at.
Just make sure to follow the warrior code of Bushido, which does not allow you to shine a light in your enemy’s eyes, because the eyes behold the rising sun.
I did a review of it here, including a comparison to the original I3 which you might find useful.
The only gripe I have the I3S that I live in a really cold climate, and sometimes when it’s cold, the light can get stuck on medium until it warms up in my hand.
Lots of rude ignorant posts in the thread, this might be a budget forum, but there are lights that as with most products are superior in there construction and function, one member decides to venture outside cheap Chines clones and buy something of quality and he is pounced on for making an excellent choice, are you all sheep? Friendly forum what a joke. Some members here should be ashamed of their troll like behaviour, not to say there aren’t plenty of intelligent members here who don’t find it necessary to follow the trolls.
I merely mentioned the under water capabilities, because peak heads are themselves a sealed unit and a small leak passed an O ring isn’t compromise the operation of your light, just another barrier against water ingress.
Instead of treating satow as a fool who is easily parted from his hard earned, you should be congratulating him on his excellent taste in flashlights.
