    Nitecore EA4 Ballooned/Melted switch Repair Write-Up

    I like the AA format and looked at the EA4, but felt uncomfortable about the switch boot problem. Made the smartest flashlight buying decision ever and bought the Eagletac GX25A3. Better quality, smaller diameter, one less AA, same if not better throw. You get what you pay for, Nitecore has...

    Eneloops, Streamlight stylus Pro

    Very informative thread. My two latest lights are both AA powered SX25A6 and theGX25A3. The A6 is my best thrower and is my go to light for boating and field use. It doesn't see a lot of use and I am running L92 with the light locked out for decent reliability. I use the A3 a lot more and keep...

    Eagletac GX25A3

    Twisty head's not bad, if you set it at the second level, you can long press the switch to access turbo. My A6 came buttery smooth, while the A3 needed some knife scraping on the square treads and finishing with a jewellers polishing cloth to get that same smooth head twist. After another...

    Thanks, you're right. Just checked...max A6 voltage is 10.2. I think I'll put the correct heads back on their respective body tubes. Walter

    Eagletac GX25A3

    I've had a chance to compare my A3 with the A6 at night. Using my TK35 as the reference,I would rank them SX25A6 at 10...TK35 at 9...GX25A3 at 8 for spill brightness and throw. Since I have both I couldn't resist trying a hybrid version. I put the SX head on the GX and it made a compact light...

    Eagletac GX25A3

    Ordered my GX25A3 from J2 in Toronto yesterday and the mailman delivered it today, Super service including John opening the box and checking over the light. After getting the A6 a month ago, I just had to have the smaller brother, both with L2. WOW what output, Same UI and build quality with...

    Eagletac SX25A6 has arrived

    I got my my SX25A6 last week with the L2-U2 led and the tint is brilliant white and the throw is fantastic. Have tested at many 5 min times on turbo with no significant heating, some with auto step down and others turned back on to bypass step down. Dropped 3 ft on carpeted floor half dozen...

    Eagletac SX25A6 (XM-L2, 6xAA) Review: RUNTIMES, VIDEO, BEAMSHOTS and more!

    Got mine a couple of hours ago and what a great light. Ordered it with the XM-L2 U2. Tint is brilliant white. I don't see this as a tactical light. The UI, for me at least, couldn't be simpler....keep the head slightly loose to med (40%) and long press for turbo and double press for strobe. Walter

    Flashlights are getting too bright, Lumens race getting out of hand...

    I just got my Eagletac SX25A6 which is pushing 1050 OTF ANSI lumens a long way .The XM-L2 U2 is brilliant white and allmost creamy. Blows my TK35 out of the lumen race.

    Opinions on the KLARUS RS16 XP-G2 and NITECORE MH1C

    Anyone else problems with the RS16 ? Charging connection seems bullet proof. Had the MH25C and flipped it. USB socket was low quality. Walter
