I'm looking forward to the Natural, but the photo here doesn't register the Dark Brown well. I see black, maybe it's my monitor. :thinking:

Perhaps D10 can finally be lego-ed. :naughty:

Any camo that makes gear items harder to find in the field is a big no go but don't know what to make of that camo. Is it a pro or con? Heck I would go black and use some yellow paracord. I like the diffuser and filter but would mostly use a diffuser for a tent light. Think the XP-E is a good LED for a small light, well it makes for a nice beam in the iTP EOS anyways but the XR-E in my EX10 looks kinda nice too. Maybe I lucked out. I think they messed up the lumens for the R2 as put the 130 Q5 max and the 145 R2 in the same page. I would have to hear reports on the new PD system etc and hope for the old UI when the masses rise up..

I suppose I'll have to make a limited neutral-white special edition of the book to satisfy the neutral-heads :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

Well very few CPF favorites are neon yellow or international orange. All those surefires used in the bush won't be easy to find if dropped either. (excluding the yellow G2s etc). I happen to like that camo, it's different from the usual stuff.

Brown is such a weird color for a torch. Like a zune brown? Eeeewww.

I won't be satisfied by a limited edition, we of the neutral class demand equality! Come my brothers, rise up against our oppressors! Viva la revolución!
:devil:


I find it very disturbing that they're going to discontinue the original UI. Myself I do like strobe, however I don't like strobe on everything. I've no issue with making an SP edition with the strobe, but at least keep the old (almost perfect for a one-button setup) UI around too... :ohgeez:
The only reason I never did buy one was because they didn't ever offer a neutral tint. But I have had the chance to play with one and I loved it.

They're going to keep the old UI around, just not in these particular models.

I don't understand the lack of confidence.

Nitecore has gotten a bunch of products 'right,' which leads me to think their future products should be great as well.

The D10 wasn't discontinued - there's just a change to the UI from variable to preset levels. Remember - to some people that's an improvement and welcome simplification.

I wouldn't worry about that little critter. Guessing the worse it would do is musk up your hands. :laughing: I like the idea NC has with the new D10. I need a 1xAA as my Olight is going into the BOB. Was looking at the Fenix MC10 but was turned off after learning more about the Fenix diffuser and it doesn't have a headlight band. The NC band has the light on the top so maybe there wouldn't be any glare. I like the NC diffuser. For a backup for my headlamp I now use a Fenix E01, Jak strap and homemade super glue cover diffuser. The diffuser is great to hang up higher and find my camp after hours. Sometimes I pump water or hit the privy on the AT after setting up my camp. The diffuser hung high allows me to see my camp very far off. Now I could find it just the same but saves some time and a little area light is nice under the tarp. The Jak strap allows for a UL backup headlamp and was forced to use it once when the batteries got too cold in my EOS headlamp. But then there is the issue of throw if I get a late start and still on the trail after dark. Not something I like but it does happen now and then. Also prefer my ZL and the GPS uses AA too.

So what would this cost me?

D10 on sale from Mattk 55.00
MC headband 7.50
NC diffuser/red filter 10.00

The sales tax would - discounts for me but I like dealers within my own State so could deal with this. Other options include 4/7 with prism kit or maybe even the MC10 with fenix headband if I could work out a better diffuser. Guessing all options would be nearly the same price. I want to read the reviews of the new PD to see if the pressure needed to change modes would be soft enough for one handed use on a headband and also would like to read if there are any issues unknown by me as it is kinda new.

edit.

Also wonder if the new NC can still be used as a twisty like the older one and if it can be locked out for the backpack. The EX10 can't be 100% locked out but it would only go into momentary mode if twisted off so its not an issue plus if the OCD is acting up would set it on low.

I ordered original D10 R2 from hkelvisfever. $2 insurance, 5% discount coupon code, total $58.31.

I hope they have those in stock.

Edit: They sell only SP in ebay. I'll email them and ask. I'll cancel my order if it is SP model.

Oh, I'm a pessimist by nature.
And the only way they could actually improve the D10 for me would have been an X-PE and memory for user setting. Since they gonna house the original UI in a completely different body(is there going to be a single AA with that UI at all?) I have a hard time to see that changes can be good, when everything already is perfect. The changing of the UI kind of takes away everything that was unique and great with the D10.
But the upside of being a pessimist is that you often get pleasantly surprised.
