Nitecore EZAA

[bigmul]

Not sure if anyone has been looking at CPF recently, but heads up on the new Nitecore EZAA....smaller than the D10, still a single AA, 2 outputs with max being 130 lumens. Also rec email from Nitecore in the UK to say should have stock soon and will be around £30.

First batch recalled apparently, problems with "user interface". Brave of Nitecore I think, flashaholics worldwide are waiting on this one, so they need to get it right.

Yeah, I'd read something similar on CPF, thought it was something to do with the lower brightness level though? Personally I'd love one with a low level like a D10 and high the same - no need for in-between for me!

 

[Nice65]

Agreed. My Extreme will produce chosen levels from low to high, but I only use low/low and high. Too much fiddling about otherwise.
I think you're right about low brightness in the EZ AA but anything involving pressing a button, or twisting a bezel is now called user interface. Makes On/Off sound a bit more techy, and therefore more appealing. And pricey.

Size wise these sound great, but I love the piston drive on my D10. I've got/had a lot of torches and have used the D10 more than any. It's great

I've got to agree. I love the piston drive on the D10.

I am one of those that appreciates the range of light output on the D10. Low can be to low in some situations, but bright can end up reflecting back too much light off whatever I am looking at especially in confined spaces.

From EDC forum, CandlePower forum, BritishBlades forum, and now here, the D10 crops up most often as the peoples' favourite.
On CPF, where these things are taken seriously, someone even did a site search to turn up the most mentioned torch, you've guessed it, D10.
