Eagletac GX25A3

[jonnyfgroove]

Holy carp, 1116 lumens (emitter) with the XM-L2. I'm getting this one for sure.

Okay, what am I missing, show me or fix my equations.

Watt = Volts x Amps

1.4 volt Nihm x 2500mAh = 3500 VoltAmpHours = 3500 WattHours

4.2 volt Lion x 750mAh = 3150 VoltAmpHours = 3150 WattHours

I regretted not studying harder during school time. sorry I cannot help u ...

Any word about when it's been released?

 

[grev]

I would like to know too but there's no info on their website.

 

[videorat]

I'm not sure why there is any confusion gordo but the only thing I see wrong with your formula is the decimal. It's actually 3.5 watt hours and 3.15 watt hours. We used to make that kind of mistake a lot back in the slipstick days.

Man this looks really nice. I wonder how it'll stack up to the 3AA that 4sevens is going to come out with.

So does it or doesn't it have a selector ring? Or is it like the 6AA where you twist the head?

Either way, i think i'm gettit though... hahah

(Almost?) Every eagletac flashlight works with a head twist, so I quess it's exactly the same as the SX25A6.

The only big qeustions remains: When is it going to be released?!

The GX25A3 is not even officially on Eagletac's website. I've noticed once they do add it to their website, it takes at least a month or two to start shipping out.

see Eagletac-USA.com website, price 94.90$

Won't be as popular as Nitecore EA4 for various reasons, e.g. higher price, lesser brand popularity, few "professional" ET flashlight reviews and poor marketing, but this light is clearly the brightness leader (3xAA: 915 ET ANSI lm). beats the EA4 (4xAA: 860 NC lm) and beats the upcoming Zebralight S5310 (3xAA: 900 ZL lm).

Eagletac, Nitecore and Zebralight are on top of the scene with similar lights

• side clicky 1xXML: TX25C2 L2, EC25 U2, SC600 MkII U3
• multi-AA shorty: GX25A3 L2, EA4 U2, S5310 U3
• triple XML shorty: MZ25C8 L2, TM15 U2, S6330 U3
• single-AA EDC compact: D25A L2/G2, SENS AA R5, SC52 U2

I've been checking ET's website everyday for info on this bad boy. I wonder if it will be able to get the full 915 otf lumens off 3 eneloops? I'm guessing no. :shrug:

This light will likely not hit retailers for months. Checking everyday is pointless. Of course it will get the full 915 lumens with Nihms. It uses a buck circuit. Running 14500s will make no difference in brightness either.

when will the Eagletac GX25A3 CREE XM-L2 U2 be release for sale?

I only read about this light just now.

wow!

1116 LED lumens with 3 AA battery!

This will be my next light!

Finally, ....EagleTac GX25A3 official specs released

http://www.eagletac.com/html/gx25a3/specs.html

Thanks, thijsco19...:thumbsup:

 

[shelm]

selfbuilt is going to review this model!!
this light is probably superior to the EA4 in every respect.

also in price

 

[markr6]

Looks amazing!! I love my EA4 but this may easily beat it. But at twice the price you really need to have something tipping the scale. For me, it's a lower low mode. And the "Tailcap with rear switch"? I don't see any pics of this. It doesn't seem necessary but a nice option to have I guess.

 

[tjhabak]

True...probly gonna have to pick this one up once they release it too!

 

[shelm]

you can see it here in the jojoselected clip!

Thanks, that's pretty cool!! Seems awkward to use on such a thick light but it's nice they included it as an option. I also like that the manual says it will use the Eagletac flip diffuser - "GX model uses filter housing w/ flip-over feature" so not really any chance of losing the cap. Besides, I would probably use the diffuser 90% of the time. Looks like an absolute winner!!

flip diffuser - "GX model uses filter housing w/ flip-over feature" so not really any chance of losing the cap.

the G25C2 (Mk1, MkII) is the only Eagtac light afaik with a real flip-up diffuser.

here,
"filter housing" = you can exchange the head part which hosts the glass lens. the kit comes with a new head part and that one has threads for the screw-on filters and screw-on diffuser lens. the new head part hosts ("houses") the screw-on filter
"w/ flip-over feature" = bad wording. they mean "screw on" feature over the original glass lens. the new head part (taken from the kit) can be operated with the original glass lens plus the filter on top, or with the filter only and the original glass lens removed.

the shared video demonstrates the use of all this.
