Looks like the old light Jet 1 Pro (14500) it the best in throw of all 4. I've read the Jet III Pro (18650) is a monster throw but looks like it cannot beat the old Jet 1 Pro in your photos :thinking: Or may be it's just my eyes seeing the intense, tight hot spot of the old Jet 1 Pro :confused:
Jet I Pro has very good hot spot and throw but less than Jet 3 Pro...
Look another pic~ :)

Yes, I saw them before I posted. I just wonder in the pics I mentioned the Jet 1 Pro probably will outthrow the Jet III Pro. What's the distance between 2 outdoor shots?

First I couldn't decide if I wanted to get a P3D or an NDI.

Today I decided to get the NDI, now when I go to the website I see the NEI.

Now I don't know if I should get the NDI or the NEI.


Could you take a picture of the NEI in your hand or on a dollar bill so I could get an idea of the size. I want a light for EDC and I think the NEI looks a little chunkier then the NDI, and don't think it would be as comfortable in the pocket.

I don't have a dollar bill sorry~
And If you want buy for EDC, I recommend you NDI because NDI is more slim and NEI is bit heavier than NDI.

First pic took about 15m distance and Second pic took about 3~4m distance form wall.
But I'm not sure about that sorry.
And I think My camera is not good enough(it's just small automatic camera)

OK, so it's reflection sticker. I LIKE. I've tried day-glow-orange painting my Fenix (just a small ring), and it rubs off pretty good.

So my question is, how do you get the red sticker so even? I'm assuming you're getting it at an auto shop or something? And does it come in other colors?

I'm also curious to know how it compares with E1B. Based on the pics I'll take a wild guess and say that E1B has a tighter hotspot and would throw further? E1B would probably compare with the Jet Pro. I like that the Extreme can take an RCR123.

NiteCore Extreme looks real nice but why is there so few online retailers selling NiteCore? Where do you send this light if there are problems?

Litemania them and edgetac has a list of all the distributors they are affiliated with. TADgear and edgetac have ceased relationships which is great news because now they will choose a better american distributor.

Does the stainless steel bezel on the EXTREME make the light feel front heavy?. The was a problem with the Fenix T1. The TK10 with its aluminum bezel feels quite balanced.

It is difficult to tell colors on monitors. Is the EXTREME black or charcoal grey. It does appear darker than the NDI. If you got a chance to see the all aluminum version, was it the same color as the stainless steel version. (I was told by HKEquipmnt that the all aluminum version they were selling was close in color to the NDI and they expected the stainless version to be black. It the time I had questioned them they didn't have the stainless version.)

Yes You are right SS bezel is heavier than HA3, I was compare each types when I visit litemania.
And NEI colors is darker than NDI(also HA3) but I saw some NEI's color doesn't look like definitely same.
Look like some NEI color is little defferent(just little bit)... but I think it's still darker then NDI.
