good videos, EA 8 is a great flashlight, i would like to buy one, just do not have the budget.
As someone recently suggested to me, put a MTG-2 in it. that should give it a bit off spill. Or you could just give it to me, please 
. I was so confused for two weeks on using the modes on the EA4 until it clicked, I was just stupid, yeah again and quite like it now. You’ve talked me out off it though so you have saved me some money for once. About time. Thanks for the video. If you mod this thing, I’m looking forward to the work off art. Cheers.
Nope, not going to mod it. I'm just going to see if anyone wants it for the price I got it for.
The head and even the bezel will not budge. I imagine I would have to heat it, to break up the loctite and I just don't even want to mess with the light. It's already 2-3 times more than I would normally pay for a host, so I don't want to put more money into it and also run the risk of totally ruining it.
Nice video. I, too, hate that sort of interface, but several modes are good. Anyone who has worked security and had to keep a beam on something/someone/some situation until the cops get there (which can take a while) understands the need for a non-turbo/high mode. Can’t run a bright light at full blast for that long. But no, they aren’t used very often. But it’s funny how everyone I’ve sold to demands SOS and strobe. I guess the feeling of being prepared is that strong.
Would Nitecore’s NFD60 diffuser be any good with this to spread the beam, perhaps?
There’s a photo of the beam pattern after fitting the NFD60 here:

I posted outdoor beamshots for Nitecore EA8 for those that are interested:
Left building are aproximate 140 meters. Center building are aproximate 300 meters and right building (the place where the video goes a bit blur ) is aproximate 200 meters away.
I tryed to get best video fidelity but the camcoder will never pick 100% the brightness intensity and colors that can be seen with naked eyes.
I really like the Ea8 so far, the beam is pretty tight for the size of the head, I’m impressed
Picked mine yesterday from post office, must admit its the most impressive of the AA lights(Im NiMh kind of person) and I love it!
I love its modes and the way you switch between them, my tech-geek part like the dual swtich system alot :D!
Its even better than D40A :D! Why? Because it has big head and throws like a mothaphukka!!!
Did I say that I have neutral white version? Well, yes, I have and its tint is great, I think its even more neutral than the one on D40A and definitely not warm like the one in SD10 warm white version that I have!
I will make sure to do my own review focusing on user experience and hopefully some decent outdoor beamshots ranging from 100 to 400 meters, because thats how far I was able to see it throwing while in the city during night time when theres lots of light pollution around ;)!
Long story short - if you can get this light for, lets say, 65$(PM me if you want to know from which reputable seller you could try to get this light in neutral white tint), then go for it, theres nothing that can beat it for the price and performance with AA’s!!!
I took one with NW tint from Gearbest for 50$.
Flashlight can work with 4 or 8 battery. UI is “interesting”.
