Unfortunately Nitecore seems to be pretty skeptical about neutral tints so it's unlikely.Is there any hint of neutral XP-G option in Explorer Series? Jetbeam's neutral white PA40 was a big hit, I've ordered one from my country distributor as soon as it was available.
I don't know if I'm the first one to report this but the red led on the EA1 has less than 10 hours on a freshly charged Eneloop... I thought it should last a lot longer than that...
:thinking:
This means a current draw in the region of 200 mA, there must be something wrong with your light ... :thinking:
Later: I checked the Nitecore literature because I was curious - they say that the minimium level of EA1 is 2 lumens and that a battery should last 80 hours at this level - they also say that the red LED emits 0.2 lumens so the same battery should roughly last 10 times longer, say at least 500 hours i.e. 20 days ...
The LED was very dim after 6h15m. :thumbsdow
I'm now getting concerned about the blinking feature, I haven't calculated but I'm afraid it could drain the battery within a month. That cool feature I bought the light for might finally be the weakest point of this light.
I skimmed the thread, but didn't see anyone bring this up... am I the only one who thinks this line is terribly ugly?
I think some have tried and failed to get at the emitter. It would be great to get a g2 in there if someone figures it out...
PS.It was very difficult to open it. So i thought there is only one way: Break the glass, i had in stock already one 22mm UCL glass, so, that was not a problem for me. I broke the glass, poped out the ring(It doesn't have threads, it is just poped in!!!) and the o-ring, and then the emitter. Heatsinking is a bit strange, does not have that good contact as i wanted.
I was so closeJust did a nitecore EC2 mod, from 6800 lux and 315 OTF with a xp-g R5, i got 398 OTF and 9700 lux with a xp-g2 R5.
Simply LOVE IT!!!!
