Tiablo E3A Exquisite Series

[Lightman2]

Anyone got one of these? Cannot find them on goinggear so wonder why they haven't decided to stock them? Not at batteryjunction either?? The Tiablo web site states 200 lumens out of these 1 x AAA lights. Feedback please.

I think Kit-Tronics has them in stock. IIRC they're one of the few authorized dealers on Tiablo's website

Thanks MWB

And by the way 200 lumens is with a 10440, it's rated at 100 lumens with a standard AAA. You've probably already seen it but Selfbuilt has a great review on it.

I was interested, but couldn't find any US dealers that carried it. I believe Kit-Tronics in Canada is the closest.

Hopefully someone has one and can give us the low down on it. Seems pretty good regarding lumens. Thanks all.

Got mine from Kit-tronics, first time dealing with them and I have no complaints. Excellent service.

As for the light, I try to acquire just about every 1xAAA that is available, so I had to get this one. It is vastly superior to Tiablo's last foray into the AAA realm (MA1) and overall a very decent light. Fit and finish are good and I really like the SS bezel. As far as clickies go, it's average in length. I have several that are shorter, but quite a few that are much longer as well. It's very comfortable to hold and operate. The UI is not to my liking but there is decent spacing between the levels and the light does have memory for the last level used. I could do without the blinky and prefer low first, but the memory helps with the latter.

It does the job, but I personally prefer the Preon 1 or NLight B3 over the E3A if you want a multi mode AAA clicky that is currently available.

I have an E3A of the very first series (the same tested by Selfbuilt). After a couple of days of use with a 10440 (officially approved by Tiablo) with only short periods at high level the light died. It was replaced with a new one from the same batch and I got an email from Tiablo saying that the incident should not have happened and that they were ready to replace again the light in case of further problems.
From that day on I never used a 10440 in my E3A but just a lithium primary. IMO when using a li-ion cell the margin of the circuit is too limited.

No other complaints about this light except that it is really too big for a 1 x AAA.

Thanks Kilovolt

My .02¢. I just got mine last week from the marketplace. And let me tell you I love it. Very well built, ss bezel is a very nice touch. Being a triple A light I love the clickie action. Overall fit n finish is really nice. I just ordered a charger and a few 10440's. I'm anxious to see 200 lms come out of this tiny light. As for other people saying it's big for a triple a light,
Yea i guess it is. But when u get in ur hand that doesn't matter. It just feels and looks too good to be concerned about that. For me I'm so glad to have one.
