Never liked the idea of magnets near electronics,even when I'm told its safe. I really don't think it will do anything.

There are three main things you want to keep away from magnets - all else generally are fine (electronics included)
1) magnetic floppy disks
2) analog wrist watches (especially expensive ones)
3) TV's
but in all cases you have to be very close given how small these magnets are.
I tried it on my cc'd and they're all fine. besides if you have issues with cc's just call them and they'll gladly send you another.

Yikes! There are some articles saying magnets in headphones affect pacemakers too! Scareee.. I hope they've improved them to be less sensitive.
There are some places that make mattresses embedded with tons of magnets! 🙁

Last I heard, Nitecore was determining how many units they wanted to send out for review. Don't know if anyone has received their purchased units though.

I wonder with the economy at this state, how many SR3 have they managed to sell....
Where flashaholics are involved, lights are more important than food. So, I guess if a light's great (in our eyes), it'll sell. 😗
Here are some size comparisons.
SR3 and Surefire E1e
Surefire U2, Jetbeam Raptor RRT-2, Nitecore SR3, Surefire E1e
The 'tactical' look of the SR3 put me off until I read that it featured a rotating magnetic switch.
Too interesting to ignore.
It is huge for a single cell light, but compare it to the U2 and RRT-2, both with the same type of
brightness adjusting mechanisms.
Machining is top notch. The walls are very thick. Compared to the only Nitecore I have, the EX10,
this light looks like it can withstand much more abuse.
Hope to post some more pics later. If there are specific parts of the light you would like to see,
please post and I will try to upload them.
I will have to leave the runtime graphs and beamshots to others.

Hey nekomane could you check and see if the head is E-series compatible? I know it was stated earlier that it wasn't but since you have an E-series would you mind checking for me? I would buy one in a heart beat if it is!
Thank you!!!! :wave:
Thank you!!!! :wave:

jgraham15,
Answer is NO :sigh:
The SR3 body is wider, and the thread pitch is 1.25mm (E-series are 18 tpi).
Yeah, I also kept my hopes up until checking for myself too.
Oh well :shrug:
Thank you for checking :twothumbs

At any rate, thank you very much for checking and sharing beautiful pictures of the SR3 ,
a very nice and interesting flashlight.

Hi, i like this light, clever switch loadsa modes, easy to use i like nitecore - im sold 1 Q ? why do they not make a 2cell light ? then we could compare it to jet 3m tk11 m20 bla bla, its the same width just shorter, the extra runtime and different useability ( to the extreme ) would be good....................
hmmmmm
