NEW Niteye variable tail control! Looks very interesting! Thoughts?

Just saw this new series at Intl-outdoor! I was pretty excited to see something new and innovative like this. I especially like the power indicator on the tail switch as well. Looks to be an interesting and original light, and handsome to boot!

They have the whole lineup of battery types which is nice.

Thoughts?

not new. has been reviewed by 1 or 2 cpf'ers. did not find *any* love there. personally, i find the light too bulky and heavy for what it is.

much too bulky and heavy.

claimed max brightness and runtimes are impressive otherwise

I like!

I was looking at those too. I’ll have to see some video. It looks like you would always need two hands to control it unless you use the same overhand grip as in the picture.

Looks like some good innovation coming into lights lately :slight_smile:

I know. It’s costing me a fortune.

My thought for this light was that it would be nice to mount on my handlebars of my bike. Then i don’t have to fiddle soft pressing a switch on bumpy terrain, i just reach right in front of me, easy access and turn a knob for variable control. Seems much easier (in theory) than buttons or even a control ring that is further forward on the head that you have to feel for to turn.

Interesting idea. I must admit I’ve never really investigated bike lights but I would have thought that they would have figured out all the bugs.

Is it just me, or does the Niteye EYE10 look like the reincarnation of the Jetbeam RRT01. Whenever I wanted to get one they were out of stock…now this. Little lights get me all itchy.

I like this! I will check the reviews on this little beauty for sure. The UI seems very handy w nice output. Too bad I just got the TN12 cause this would have been on the short list for sure.

NiteEye 10 and Jetbeam Rrt01 had the same designer. He sold the designt to both companies with only slight differences in mind. Atleast that’s what I read on CPF. That’s why the rrt01 has a smooth reflector, and the nighteye10 has an OP reflector

Doesn’t Niteye own Jetbeam now?

It’ s described to have Strobe-OFF-Low-High modes, but this review Niteye MS Series (mock-up test samples) Review | Candle Power Flashlight Forum
says, that it has firefly mode instead of OFF. Could anyone confirm this, or maybe it was only in prototype?
Does anyone know if it has low voltage protection?

4.User-defined infinitely variable dimming, obtain as lower output as you like

“Custom low 25-200 lm” and I’d like ~0,5 lm. 25 lm is much too bright in some cases.

I’ve been meaning to get the eye10 for a while now, but keep putting it off incase something better and brighter comes out
