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:

This type of screw would probably work even better- a short one could be recessed. http://www.mcmaster.com/#94105a533/=1cfi86
 
Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

A whole WEEK? Obviously they have the lights, but not the "magic gifts", so you can get your flashlight now, but not with the "gift".

If they could tell us what that "free gift" or "power source" is, so that we could decide if it was worth waiting for, I would be happy.

I'm going to be really pissed if I find out I was waiting a whole week extra just to get a battery or something like that. It better be something good.
 
Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

I feel the same way as you. Might as well get my money refunded if it's going to take that long.

I assume the Nitcore stated 90 minute and 20 hour runtimes were acheived with en E2 Lithium?

Even so, I think it is going to have a bit higher high and lower low than I was expecting, which would be perfect.

Well, in the video they made he said that a standard NiMh battery would give about 20 hours of low mode.

I'm not that impressed with 40 minutes at 130-ish lumens from a AA battery, when even the LD01 can give me 80 lumens for an hour with a AAA battery with less than half the capacity.

Yeah but the EZAA does 2100lux spot and 90flood, while the LD01 does 670 and 70 both with nimh. The LD01 with li-ion does 2300 and 250:devil:

The EZ AA would have replaced my LD01 if it could take 14500, but anyways I ordered it to see what happens. 40 mins for a keychain light is about right for me. I think it should be able to reach 1 hour with an energizer lithium cell.
 
Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

Just to recap we're getting ~4 lumens for ~16 hours instead of 15 lumens for 20 hours, and we have a choice to get our light shipped immediately without the freebie, or we can wait another week and get the freebie, and he's still not gonna tell us what it is?

Am I being unreasonable that this is starting to annoy me?

Yes it is pretty annoying. I would like to know what I would be giving up so I could decide if it would be worth giving up or not. It has been built up so much that I don't want to miss something great but in the back of my head I think it will be a letdown like many think. Then if it turns out to be lame I will be annoyed because I didn't just have the lights shipped. Toying around with people isn't going do them any favors. I will remember this the next time I think about preordering a light.

Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

The more I read the more conflicted I am. The size and a nice low that comes up first is a big plus, and it is a pretty face. But, I was assuming more accurate numbers when I ordered. Without a clip I may still be more likely to use the old Proton Pro. I agree it's time to reveal what the "deal sweetener" really is, considering the good faith pre-ordering so many have done.

I'm still on board, but hanging over the rail.

Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

I could care less about the charging device, but the incorrect statement of the low setting bugs me. Given that the high is so high, too high for sustained usage IMO, I wanted a primary setting more then a low. 15 lumen is enough for most stuff, but half that isn't. Now I'm waiting to get mine before I make a final judgment, but at this point I almost feel it needs to be a three mode. 6-50-130 would be perfect.
 
Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

Order cancelled. 🙁

If Nitecore can go back to the drawing board and make the EZAA deliver on the advertized specs then I would love to re-order it.
 
Re: The new little NiteCore: "EZAA"

Is everyone cancelling their orders because of the missing 4 hours runtime and the wrong low? Or there are other bigger isseus with the light? My LD01 with 10440 has only 15 minutes runtime which I got used to, so 1.5 hours is a big plus for me.


I'm keeping my hope in this light for now, lets see what happens.
