It’s like the ‘giggle maker’ thread. Similar to how I react when I click on 1300lm in a tiny 14500 sized flashlight, or 4000something lumens in a BTU shocker. It’s just so awesome you can’t help but let out a chuckle/giggle/laugh.
It ended up being too bloody cold and windy yesterday to get in all the pictures, but I did take this. I thought it was neat (Perhaps I’m just easily amused ). I found out it takes many variables to all come together to capture this as this was the 8th or so attempt after accidentally discovering it the first time I set it down on the railing.
It’s happening to a few pics on my end as well. I was kind of hoping I was just tired and seeing things… Having a bit of a rough transition to the new forum setup. Some things don’t seem to be working how I used to do them.
Edit: How about now? I went in and edited the code for each and every picture… it was adding some additional unwanted code automagically for some reason. It all looks normal on mobile and desktop for me now. (I took the first picture at an odd angle to try and add a little something. Makes it look really tall and obelisk-like… I might just replace it.)
Edit 2: I’m not seeing any distortion in the video on mobile (safari) or desktop (chrome/firefox). Could you maybe screenshot it?
Well I’m exhausted. Bunch more to add later. Beamshots were a no-go tonight, deplorable conditions.
Please give me a heads up if something isn’t showing up correctly for you. I had to do quite a bit differently this time around so I probably made some errors.
Btw the price from the vendor is pretty fantastic… I’m waiting on a response as to whether or not MAP is an issue before I post any of those details.
It’s on the to- done list . I’m charging cells now; I’m hoping to get beamshots tonight.
From what I’ve read other users have measured something like 550 days for the parasitic drain to drop a cell to 50%.
Edit: I’m measuring .08mA parasitic drain. So about 1276 day to dead, or 638 days to 50% on an Eneloop Pro 2450mAh cell.
Heading outside for beamshots.
Great review!!! I’ve had one of these for a while now and it has become one of my favorite, most used lights. Pair it up with some Eneloops and it is just about the perfect package as far as I am concerned.
I think Nitecore hit a ‘Home Run’ with this one.
Re. “Press and hold both switches for more than 1 second to lockout the flashlight. Press and hold both switches for more than 1 second to disengage the lockout.”, does that mean that there is no parasitic drain when it is locked out, since this is not a “mechanical” lockout?
Funny y’all should bring up “parasitic drain during lockout” concerning this light. I got curious about that too after reading about that little Nitecore key chain light thing.
I just started testing one of my EA45S’s back on 19 September 2016.
Here are the results so far.
