Update: have add the beamshots.
Many thanks for the beamshots ... well after "playing around" with my D40a yesterday, i can safely say my ea4 is now going to sit on my shelf . i took the light out last night and was very impressed with it... i prefer the two button ui on the d40a.. the d40a is quite a thrower too despite an op relector (certainly throws as well as my ea4.. maybe a little better actually).very nice transition from spot to spill. nice moonlight (which i have my light to come on in with mode memory). a very impressive "turbo"!! . i have more confidence in the d40a in the electonic lock out ( press both buttons for 2 seconds) as to the ea4 lockout, also you can mechanically lock the d40a out by a quater-turn of the battery tube. the disco/blinkies are hidden well enough too imo. overall a very nice light imho... and a VERY strong contender in the aa compact/pocket thrower category.
