5lm? You're lucky. I never said mine has 5 lumens, I think it's much more. A few beamshots, all flashlight on their lowest modes:

A few extra macro shots to show the imperfections:

Yes, it's a hole:

EC1 and EC2 XP-G2, can you go straight to max mode from off.

 

[phantom23]

No, you can't.

It does have memory, so you can set it to start on High from off. Hard to tell the difference between High and Turbo.

My 5lm is just a quess by compairing low mode on EA-1 and EA-2 I have. I quess we have to consider both of those still have the XPG-R5 and not the XPG2 like the EC-2. My EC-2 does seem a little warmer than the bright white of the EA-2, how is yours ?. It is brighter than my original though.

I see that EC1 is updated to 330 Lm, anyone found that for sale yet?

I just noticed something weird in my Nitecore EC2 XP-G2. It supposed to be current regulated on all modes, meanwhile my sample does this:



Video may be a little bit grainy but it clearly shows that brightness fluctuates at pretty high but visible frequency. It never gets dark, it doesn't look like PWM because the light is never off and it appears only on low mode. Is it normal?

EDIT. Better vid:
