Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

it doesn't sound like there will be a AAA version

If you want any light that
produces a respectable amount of light for daily duty use for at least an hour
you can forget the AAA. There's more weight and volume in the steel
packaging than the chemicals for holding energy!! (i.e. nimh's steel casing).

No EZ AAA at this point. The AAA holds roughly 1/3 the energy but is
roughly half the size of an AA. Most of it is packaging. Read my eariler post about AAA versus AA

Thats why the smallest AA makes more sense as far as output AND runtime. The AA is a heavy weigh compared to an AAA.

Not to be redundant, but I just wanted to underline what had come up earlier in the thread: it really does seem that the efficiency of a AA and the outstanding runtime make this an insanely compelling choice. The size and weight to power ratio of the AAA is no where near as favorable as that of the AA so for a small trade off in size, you trade off a significant amount in power.

But I still can't wait to pit this light against the LD01! (Which, frankly, has cornered the market in many ways for the versatile AAA light, making this an even less-likely area for NiteCore to try to break into).

Fellas,

I just wanted to put up this comparison chart I've made for many of the smaller lights. I'm a little worried about the heft of the EZAA now that I've placed them all together here:

Code: 
 [I]               Length          Diameter        Volume:
Firefli        38mm            7mm             1462mm^3
KD             42mm           10mm             3299mm^3
LaPetit        23.25mm        14.25mm          3681mm^3
Eddie          50mm           10mm             3926mm^3
AUNOC          67mm            9.5mm           4751mm^3
Nano           37mm           13mm             4910mm^3
Wee            34mm           15mm             6007mm^3
Mako           68mm           13mm             9024mm^3
LD01           73.5mm         14mm           11,314mm^3
Aeon           53.3mm         17.7mm         13,108mm^3
EZAA           83.0mm         16.6mm         17,963mm^3[/I]
Hmm...

I'm really enjoying this thread but don't you think the Draco and Drake should both be on that list? Several other lights on there seem gigantic by comparison. Two more would be the Jet-μ and Arc-P.

The Firefli, LaPetit, Arc-P and Sapphire/Arc-Ti, unless I'm leaving anything else out, are the only ones that hang straight if used as a neck carry.

But, using their alien technology, imagine how much smaller the EZAAA would be compared to the LD01...

Waiting to see the optoinal 1/4-20 screw in tritium plug.

McMaster-Carr part number 90117A535 could probably hold a tritium vial and it's 1/4-20. Probably have to trim it for length though.

Edit:
McMaster-Carr part number 93939A533 would probably be even better if the slot is big enough and deep enough for the vial. You could always cut the slot to fit... no worries about messing one up because you get 100 :laughing:

I'm going to try and find one like this at my local specialty hardware store today. It's flat so it should still be able to tailstand. I'm going there anyway to find some gasket material for my MD2 that doesn't stink like a tire store.

Even though it would be a major pain to get out in the event you needed it too. What about just filling the "hole" with GITD material.
 
Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

That would be very easy.

To remove it you would have to boil it................:shrug: Like I have a tripod anyway!

Don't forget there is still the mystery charging info to be disclosed, which very well may need access to the hole. Otherwise that is a great idea.

One could surround a green trit dot with some blue GITD for a nice effect.:thumbsup:

Same here... I do not see myself ever using the light on a tripod... I would how ever use it with a threaded eye bolt(if I could find one)

Well off to get some GITD material for the first time. If I recall I think we have a discount for a site over in the B/S/T. Gots to check that out.
 
Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

Get your GITD material while their really good sale is on right now (ends on the 10th of April) Buy $80 worth of product and get an $80 sample pack free. You can have a lot of GITD powder fairly easy. When I ordered mine the blue GITD powder was 75% off so I bought a pound of that). Here is a link to their April Newsletter.

Mine should be here Friday! So time to go buy some epoxy and start playing. :party:
