Got it in the mail today. 4sevens delivery is very prompt.

While I have no intention of carrying it this way, it does fit in an altoids tin for those that may be interested in using a AA light in a survival kit.



Here's a beam shot against an outside wall from about three feet.

On low.



On high.



Beam shot to a tree about ten feet away.

On low.



On high.



These beam shots were after about 20-30 minutes of continuous use in both high and low modes with an Eneloop AA. At one point, I had it hanging on high mode and after 5-10 minutes, the light was very hot. After grabbing and running it in warm water, it cooled within seconds. While holding it, it got quite warm but not as hot as when it was cooling only into air.

It will replace my Fenix L0D Q4 as my EDC light for the time being. I really like the L0D, but the EZ AA is just much brighter on high and has a much longer run time on low.

My EDC pocket carry.

Nice! I've been carrying a LOD on my keychain for many years now, is the Nitecore much larger?

That is some light!

Here's a size comparison



As you can see the NiteCore EZ AA is impressively small for an AA flashlight but the Zebralight H50 has just got the edge on size. But the Nitecore will probably be a little more practical due to the conventional beam shape rather than the Zebralight uses. Using an Energiser Lithium AA would give the NiteCore EZ AA a very lightweight and dependable flashlight for use in an Altoids tin or for EDC. It looks to be very impressive and can even be used as an improvised hand warming device

I also like the tripod thread on the Nitecore base so it can be used with one of those little handheld camera tripods such as the little Gorillapod.

It is about a cm longer and 1-2 mm larger in diameter. That's it. But it is much brighter and has a longer run time.

I have been carrying the LOD for a while also. I actually decided on getting something brighter about a year ago when I was walking down a pitch black trail one night and using the LOD. While it is enough to easily see the trail and get you to your destination safely, it just wasn't going to do for looking at anything and at any appreciable distance. But the LOD for EDC and as a backup is great. So far, the EZ AA is better to me.

Thanks guys.

Great comparison shot.

That looks like excellent light. I like the dimensions. And the tripod thread is great idea. Thanks for the review.

Thanks, Am_Fear!
