I haven't kept a close eye on new lights for the past 3 years. I did read about the Nitecore EA4 when it first came out, and I read many of the posts from an EA4 thread here at that time. As I recall, most people liked it but not everyone had a perfect experience. I remember there being another 4-AA light that came out at about that same time, but I don't recall who made it.
But now that I've recently been doing some new investigation into newer lights, I've come across the Thrunite TN4A and TN4A HI. Apparently the TN4A HI has a version of the XP-L that provides higher intensity throw, with slightly lower lumens but significantly increased lux(nearly doubled when compared with regular TN4?). In reviews, I've read that it still has a very floody beam(spill beam I assume) while having longer range throw.
It seemed that maybe the TN4 HI was the way to go, but in 1 review, I read that the way it's single button UI functions may leave something to be desired, and that the tint may not be ideal.
So I wanted to get opinions on whether the TN4A HI is worth the extra $6 or if there are disadvantaged to dedoming it's LED, etc. Do they have neutral tints? But mostly I'll refer to the title of the thread, and ask which of the 4-AA lights of different brands is preferable?
