Itās happening to a few pics on my end as well. I was kind of hoping I was just tired and seeing thingsā¦ Having a bit of a rough transition to the new forum setup. Some things donāt 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 pictureā¦ 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-likeā¦ I might just replace it.)
Edit 2: Iām not seeing any distortion in the video on mobile (safari) or desktop (chrome/firefox). Could you maybe screenshot it?
Well Iām exhausted. Bunch more to add later. Beamshots were a no-go tonight, deplorable conditions.
Please give me a heads up if something isnāt 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 fantasticā¦ Iām waiting on a response as to whether or not MAP is an issue before I post any of those details.
Itās on the to- done list . Iām charging cells now; Iām hoping to get beamshots tonight.
From what Iāve read other users have measured something like 550 days for the parasitic drain to drop a cell to 50%.
Edit: Iām 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!!! Iāve 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 āHome Runā with this one.
Re. āPress 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.ā, does that mean that there is no parasitic drain when it is locked out, since this is not a āmechanicalā lockout?
Funny yāall should bring up āparasitic drain during lockoutā 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 EA45Sās back on 19 September 2016.
Here are the results so far.
Light Nitecore / EA45S
Batteries / Eneloop āPRO XXā AA _ (HR-3UWX min 2400mAh / 11-05-EE) _ Batteries fully charged, rested over 24 hrs. then installed.
My Eneloops are flat, light doesnāt turn on after a few days without using AT ALL! I have tried many sets of fully charged batteries, all dead within few days.
Is my light faulty?
Hmmm, how many days is āa fewā? Something doesnāt sound exactly right with it for sure.
The post above yours is what mine measure after two weeks. I am gonna update that post every two weeks or so and see what happens.
Even for Nitecore parasitic drain, that sounds excessive. One tip to pass on: On many Nitecore lights, Once you put the cells in, turn it on for a second or two before putting it in lockout. Seems to cut down the drain considerably.
