**NEW** Nitecore EA4 Pioneer (4*AA, 860lm)

[tickled]

So this little thing throws even better than TK35? Wow!

LD41: 200m, 10 000cd
EA4: 283m, 20 000cd
TK35: 340m, 29 000cd
TK41: 486m, 59 000cd

Going by ANSI specs alone, it seems like it fits right in between the LD41 and TK35.

Kokopelli's pictures says otherwise - EA4 looks noticeably throwier than TK35.

If 20000 CD = 20000 LUX, then the figure selfbuilt gives the TK35 is 22500 LUX, which would put the EA4 roughly on par with it.

Why is the second highest level not mentioned in the specs? We have the 4 low modes, then turbo but when you soft click in turbo it knocks it down a bit to ?? lumnes.

it flips between high and turbo, the same brightness as the highest of the 4 low modes

DUH!! I'm braindead right now. I guess it just didn't seem much lower so assumed it was a "secret" mini-turbo level (of gosh let's not give manufacturers another name for brightness levels )

Ordered one on Monday AM from Illumination Supply and it was shipped that afternoon and should have it tomorrow. Thank you to the good folks at IS for the discounted price and free shipping. After reading all the posts here I'm looking forward to getting mine and lighting up the backyard and neighborhood Friday evening !!

Looks like Zebralight Q50 postponement will have some negatives hits for them

I wouldn't be suprised it was more than that. Nitecore numbers are underestimated (at least they were for Explorer series, MH25 or MT25).

I wrote to Nitecore (Sysmax) to ask if a diffuser was on the cards as it would make this light the perfect camping lantern and they replied with yes one will be available eventually for this light. Good news all round.

YES! I just finished a bottle of contact solution last night, so I threw that on there just for fun. Way too thick to diffuse light efficiently, but gave me an idea of how sweet this this will be as a lantern.

NO! There is a wrapped, unopened, unpeaked, unplayed with EA4 under our tree. You are not the only one in torment and anticiapation.
