Product Description

The Nitecore EA45S is a rock-solid handheld flashlight made to maximize beam distance. Because its body is molded from a single piece of liquified aerospace-grade aluminum, the EA45S is up to 200 percent stronger than traditional three-piece flashlights Read More

"Because its body is molded from a single piece of liquified aerospace-grade aluminum" So...it's die-cast?

that's alright. it certainly is worded with a focus on being flashy over communicating clearly.

AsherLRight, it is a very nice construction on these lights though.

I recommend owners of this light to look into purchasing a diffuser; Nitecore's NFD34 fits perfectly and can be found for a few dollars.
Since the beam profile is narrow and the hot spot is quite intense, the diffuser will light up a larger area in front of you and makes it easier on the eyes while focusing on nearby things, such as when reading.
I think it really turns it into an all-purpose light. It also doubles as a protective cap.

It would be nice if we could get an update on this Drop, considering last time it was refunded do the product supposedly being discontinued. Has Nitecore started to produce these again, or was this drop created in folly/on accident.
Update: I was on the Jan/Feb '17 drop, not the current one. The drop went well, so they aren't discontinued or anything. I was hoping to get it in time for Valentine's day, but it wasn't to be. Fantastic flashlight for the money, my mom loves it.

"liquified aerospace-grade aluminum" lmao, do they mean cast? No clue what is trying to be said in marketing speak here.

T-HimselfIt's great that these flashlights are made of aerospace aluminum, but I'm concerned that our airplanes are made of flashlight (and tent pole) aluminum.

Keep in mind the capacity differences when comparing this to nitcore's similar 2x18650 lights (EC4, EC4SW, EC4GT):
2x18650 (LG MJ1 or NCR18650GA): 2 * 3500mAh * 3.7v = 25.9 Wh
4xAA (NiMH Eneloop Pros): 4 * 2550mAh * 1.2v = 12.24 Wh
Essentially, at the same brightness & presuming the same efficiency, this will run half as long.

HookVery True. But AA's are everywhere. Unless there is a specialty shop that carries Flashlights or something else that uses those batteries. I'm stuck with whatever I happen to have charged. Everyone carries AA's.

biggman15Damn right, I bought a 144 AA battery pack that was on sale from Amazon for 25$, it's Duracell industrial brand and expires in 2025, so it was an awesome deal.

Why does MD keep sending emails for drops that are closed when I click on them?

SkygIt's not closed, it hasn't opened yet. If enough people show interest then nitecore will cut a deal.

KookaThey have other ways of gauging a potential drop, email spam is not the way to do it.

I have the 18650 battery model of this and it's been amazing. After using those quick charge lithium cells, I don't know that I can go back to AA batts. Sure, you can buy them anywhere, but it's hard to beat rechargable lithium batteries. I have at least 4 nitecores, and all except the keychain ones are 18650 cells.

TheNumberJYou can buy AA Lithium batteries and recharge them just like the 18650!

TheNumberJExactly! I have the EC4SW, and I like it, but... Sorry 18650/21700 have made multi-cell AA light obsolete. To the poster talking about 14500 Li-ion cells, they are not AA cells, they are only approximately AA sized, and most importantly they are not compatible with this light so I have no idea why you bring this up. The CREE Hi LED would be a nice fit for this reflector, but unfortunately I'm pretty much done with quad AA except as gifts for other people who don't want to get into Lithium-Ion cells. They can use them with NiMH, or Lithium Primary batteries, although lights with parasitic drain and electronic switches are not the best for emergency lights. A mechanical switch is preferred, especially in AA lights, or lights that don't have certified parasitic drain, less than that of the self-discharge rate of the cells.

Nitecore makes excellent flashlights. The have great, advanced, high-tech features that I don't find elsewhere, and I rely on them. They give you a lot more control than just an on-off button.

Lights-N-ThingsWow, that is pretty nasty of you. Hopefully there is a way to block you. I have about 5 Nitecore flashlights. I am not going to post anything more about this since you are being so nasty. I was trying to help and post my opinion. Too bad.

I'd be in for a EC4S (the 2x 18650 2150Lm version of this flashlight), but this is lackluster due to the use of AA cells.

> a good rechargeable lithium cell over a comparable NiMH or primary
You should have a look at 'KENTLI' lithium 1.5V AA (&AAA) rechargables, good stuff. e.g. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/KENTLI-8pcs-1-5v-3000mWh-AA-rechargeable-Li-polymer-li-ion-polymer-lithium-battery-4-slots/32799464903.html?scm=1007.13440.85618.0&pvid=fcd2313d-69f1-4bb1-88af-1240305db095&tpp=1 Allows you to lithium but have conventional AAs as backup source. Perhaps a Drop for these are in order?

MichaelAtOzI admit those are pretty neat (considering that they are the proper voltage vs. most lithium replacements) however I would be afraid to be the beta tester for unknown Chinese cells (especially lithium that unlikely to be properly protected cells)...you could end up losing a lot more than just the investment in the cells, or even the flashlight it was put into.

BEFORE PUTTING BATTERIES IN: Remove the silica gel packet ("Do not eat" packets, little white baggie) that is in the area where you put the batteries. I didn't see it at first and was confused at why the end was so hard to get on; turned out I was ramming that little packet against the battery contact, nothing broke, but was a pain to get out and clean up since it had tore against the contact.
