Awesome to finally see a beam shot of the EC4S!! I may hold off on the TK-35UE/2k until a comparison review has been done. One of these should fill my flood void...Hopefully :)

This may be the reason I will purchase the EC4S. I use my lights usually no more than 65% of full brightness and this newer version would be good reason to have one. :)

I'm seriously going to break a Google server from searching "Nitecore EC4S" about 735,921 times per day!! Someone start selling this thing already!

Share the links here once you've found places that sell EC4S.
And discount code too if you can find one [emoji6]

Just sit back and relax, and within a month or so you will be able to pick these up at 60-70% of list. - Just like you can now with the TM 16.

Thanks,

yeah and have you seen the EC4? some places selling for $48 or something like that!
 
Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4: 2x18650, 1000 Lumens

I've ever seen the EC4 dropped to $42 from Gearbest and considering I bought the TM16 for $125 from them, I'll wait for this one too, but the red ring is just too hard to resist [emoji13]

Thanks, FlashLion!

It's been a long wait. The emitter shot shows a nice orange color on the reflector, especially compared to the EC4. That should be a sign of a more neutral tint. Is there any chance Nitecore will provide you with info on tint binning?

They replied "EC4S belongs to our neutral-white family."

Wow! I was expecting so much more and in the end, sadly, got so much less. Am I glad to be a simple mind. :p

FlashLion, thanks for the outdoor images.
 
Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4: 2x18650, 1000 Lumens

I like the huge hotspot while keeping a somewhat respectable amount of throw. I'm guessing no more than 200m throw, so it probably won't out-throw even the floodiest of flood monsters, due to their sheer output.

Tint and form-factor are the main selling points, and the form-factor looks great.
 
Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4: 2x18650, 1000 Lumens

If I was a really tall person, I could appreciate flood styled lights better.
Being less then giant I find high brightness floods bounce back and kill my vision, then in turn requiring more flood.
Like when you wave a focused light past a traffic sign close to yourself by accident, flash back.
In them pictures, if light was not up high, that spill would be brighter to end user of the light, taking away even more distance visibility.

I guess I'm pretty rare in this thinking though being not really a right nor a wrong opinion, it's mine.
 
Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4: 2x18650, 1000 Lumens

Definitely on my buy list now, especially with a neutral emitter. The mix of throw and flood is exactly what I want and have been waiting for. Hoping for an official announcement soon and will be waiting for a good deal on one :)

Maybe something like the TN36 which lights up EVERYTHING, but this one looks well balanced with a modest flood.
 
Re: *NEW* Nitecore EC4: 2x18650, 1000 Lumens

I'm sure this light, will light up everything directly in front of end user no problem.
My problem is high lumens may be wasting effect of great flood.
Having a rough time being clear today, sorry all.
Hope that makes some sense.

Awesome! Thanks for checking with Nitecore on this.

It is too bad companies do not like to specify the precise tint bins they are using. Of course, refusing to do so gives them the flexibility to change components during production. This could be due to availability of parts or even because of a change in design.
