I'm bored! My D10 works too well and I need an excuse to buy new lights!

When I first signed on here a little over 2.5 years ago, I was constantly on here almost 24/7.

Now that I purchased my Nitecore D10 almost 2 years ago, I have had no excuse to come back here as often and keep looking at new lights.

Now, almost 2 years later after buying my original nitecore D10, I'm kind of tired and bored of having a perfect light! The damn D10 simply won't die, and it works as well as the first day I got it!

I've gotten tired of it working so well, that I've dropped many times, never cleaned the original lube off of it and it still works perfect. Some days I find myself secretly hoping I'll lose it (never happen) so I can have a new excuse to buy a new light.

This is a big problem! I've gotten bored of having the perfect light! Help!!

I think it is rubbish!

Worst UI ever...

I gave mine to the girlfriend.

Try a liteflux LF3XT, now that is a real light

LOL to each his own. But all the folks I've gifted varoius d10s to love them and treasure them as much a I do.

And by the way, I made a mistake on my dates. It's only been less than a year since I bought the d10. I feel like it's been a couple of years because I've had the the light for ever, it feels like!!

Edit: hmm I took a look at the LF3XT. It seems similar in complexity to my LF2X (which I rarely use), and the LF5XT (which I bought, tested, and sold within a couple of weeks). No thanks, too complex.

Well, there is the upcoming NiteCore EZAA to look forward too.

You could also upgrade your D10 to a Q2-5A or something...

If it works, you have a "newish" light. If you break it, you have your excuse to buy something else...

Enjoy that there is a light that suits your needs. I haven't bought a light in about 4 years now. There are brighter, longer run time models yet the HDS serves me well. Instead I channel the $$ toward other areas of enjoyment. YMMV.

Never tried a D10. Did have a LF3XT, gave it to my grandson as a programmable toy as output and run time was marginal. Will have to see what the new Nitecore is all about.

Lights are like women, you kind of have to find a good one, or it starts to get expensive.

I do not understand your logic, son. You're not making any sense. :ironic:

Sounds like a good excuse to buy something new to me! :devil:

I think even if you lose your D10, you'll end up buying.........



another D10 :laughing:

A zebralight H501 headlamp would make a perfect companion light to the D10.
:devil:

get a d20!

How about a Ra Clicky of any flavor? Take it from me, a fellow uber D10 fan. The Clickies are INSANE. You should buy one ol buddy ol pal.. :naughty:

NOOOOO I think you just made my finger drop on the "buy" button it's been hovering over for some time now...

Can't get enough of my D10, and this coming from another D10 nut, no offense , makes me want one worse than ever. Guess there's no sense in delaying the inevitable!

Do not delay... I thought the D10 was the perfect light, it had a low low, variable brightness, and a great high. Then I tried the clicky, got all of those, and super programmability! It really is an awesome light, and I think that it is great to step up from the D10 to the EDC Executive or other Clicky model.


PS- This isn't me straying off topic, this is me discussing with wadus how he should upgrade, and convince LED-holic that he should indeed buy a new light

I agree that Nitecore makes the best lights among the "new generation" of manufacturers. I went on a bit of a spree latley and picked up 2 Nitecores, EagleTac, and a Jet-III M and the Nitecoresd are the best. The UI using the button is way more reliable and work with ONE hand compared to the 2 modes of the latter two using twisting. I always end up loosening the tailcap or using the pocket clip for leverage when changing modes. I don't know who thinks it's a good idea to use the loosening of a threaded item as a selector. It's cumbersome and maybe it's just me but when I think of something threaded, I want it to be closed, not slightly ajar.

I'd say it's more reliable than a switch, and can be selected before switching on. That's it's appeal for me on certain 2 stage lights anyway, such as the Jetbeam III M and TK10.

You need something Brighter!

I've gotten tired of it working so well

I'll back up m16a on this one.:buddies: You can not find a better "all-around" light for the price the new line of Clickys are going for. Not even close.
