How many lights do you have? Are you just starting your colection or do you have a good start already. Of the 2 you mention, I only have the EA4 and for all around useability, not much this light won’t handle. No it will not light up a hill side 300m away, but at reasonable distances it does everything I personally ask of a light. Amazing for such a small AA light. Takes the place of several of my other lights including my much loved TK41. It lacks the throw of the TK41 but for me, extream throw is just more for showing off these days.
yeah, excellent balance of flood/throw, another point to tends my choice to ea4
But some cons haunt me:
*highest level its not fixed
*price, dont comes with battery (the x9 comes with batteries and charger, but it’s not decisive)
*some people telling of this light don’t have a good heatsink (it’s real?)
otherwise, my choice it’s not defined by no data about x9, trustfire and nitecore seems to be a very reliable, good brands.
Do Fasttech have a good shipment? Deal extreme takes too long to send, my last order was a great disapointment and my order not arrived yet.
Yesterday, I’ve some good ideas and possibilities……
I see x9 totally disassembled and appears to be much easy to mod and change the led, and I thinking here… “if I order a x9 with one sst-90 and change the led?”……
The question is, this mod will works?
Some time after, I remembered the sst-90 needs a huge amperage to works at “full power”.
