That would be a great choice :thumbsup:

You're thinking of CR123A lithium primaries. Those are a different chemistry.

Obviously there is risk with any battery, but - and please check me on this - I think AA and AAA-sized lithiums are fine.

Cr123 lithium primaries are fine as well, as long *** you buy quality batteries all this battery fear is way exaggerated

I would still exercise a little caution with any battery. I would never buy a pack of 20 lithium batteries for $5 off ebay. Chances are they are not going to be legit.

Not yet. We are eagerly waiting for a review too and :welcome:

 

[InquisitiveInquirer]

Well... I had been planning on waiting on some reviews and pictures of the EA4 before pulling the trigger, but.... but.... I caved. I scored one for $56 and now it's all about the waiting game. :naughty:

 

[ericb445]

I caved in as well.....It will be here next Wednesday, Cant wait.

 

[GordoJones88]

Wow. Another light I have to have.

 

[nagyzoltan82]

Where could i found a night test?

 

[markr6]

Ordered from bettery junction 11/27 - not shipped yet.

 

[InquisitiveInquirer]

First off, no i have not received mines yet, but i did find some pictures that i haven't seen yet and thought you guys would like to see. Reflector doesn't look that deep.... hmmm... i wonder if the specs for throw were a little ambitious? We'll see when we all receive it. Sheath is nothing to rave about.

I also wonder how a light this small will be throwing that far. Anyway, I ordered mine from an EBay seller and be shipped it in a day. I hope to be able to get it in my hands in two weeks time.

Oh and one more thing, Fenix's TK22 throws up to around 230m. Still I don't believe the written specs but would like to see a comparison between Nitecore EA4, MH25 and Fenix TK22 through outdoor shots.

let us know how it is when you get it!

Thanks for the new pics II, I'm still anxiously awaiting its arrival...

Mark, I'm in the same boat, ordered mine a day after you did.

EA4 in action.

This light would have been of real interest to me if they had used a U3...run at around 1000 lumen, had it run off 4 X 14500 and had a built in charging system. Mini Tiny Monster. Still interesting, but...

I don't think the reflector depth can be determined with any precision from that type of short depth of field picture. Looking at the length of the head and its ratio as compared to the body, it certainly doesn't look shallow! The video above again seems to show a fairly deep reflector. Nitecore doesn't have a history of exaggerating output or throw figures, so we should be in good shape.

I'm waiting on one from Battery Junction.
