Evolution of a Classic
The Nitecore EA41 is the next step in Nitecore's revolutionary EA line of handheld searchlights. Building off the tried and tested features of the EA4, the EA41 introduces new features based on feedback from loyal customers and intense design research. The new EA41 is brighter, easier to use and even tougher than previous models. This light also retains the best features of its predecessors, such as the compact body design and convenient AA battery power source.
Brilliant Cree XM-L2 (U2)
The EA41 comes equipped with a CREE XM-L2 (U2) LED, an upgrade over previous models. This light is now able to produce 1020 Lumens, an almost unheard of figure for lights running on simple AA batteries. The light level is flexible of course. A variety of modes including a turbo, high, medium, low, and an ultra-low micro mode make this one of the most versatile lights around. The EA41 also has access to a dazzling strobe mode that is quickly accessible for emergency signaling or self defense.

I have used this light pretty much every night for the past four years while out on our acreage at night with our dog. I have dropped it on our wood deck, gotten it soaking wet and it just keeps working, That's why I bought another one for my wife.
For the money this is an excellent all around light. Battery Junction has great customer service, prices are very good and their batteries are fresh. In my opinion, they are the best in the business.
I always use rechargeable AA batteries (Eneloop Pro) but if necessary when I am on a longer trip somewhere I can get batteries at any gas station.
I wanted 4 AA batteries for the extra run time, with a small increase in size and weight which this Nitecore EA41 does well.
I especially wanted the Neutral White LED which I realized is a big advantage in color accuracy and depth perception when actually trying to follow trails or no trails at night in forests or deserts.
In addition my roommate does geocaching and one time I was helping her look in dense leaves on bushes and realized the flat grey colors the Cool White LED produces hinders your eyes from naturally picking out something that is not the same color as the surroundings.
I definitely recommend this light for its features and cost if you are looking for a 4 AA battery light.
And I will only by Neutral White LED's from now on as the brighter the light the more the Neutral White makes a big difference in seeing your surroundings accurately.
- I wish they had made matching flats on the side of the body and tail end so it would not roll away when set down sideways.
- Although most people will probably set it down on the lens, and manufacturing flats would increase the price.
- It can tail stand but the wrist lanyard string must be moved away by sort of sliding it as you put it down to roll the string out of the way, as the string is attached through the tail stand flats on the bottom.
- This could easily be fixed by having another attachment point not on the tail stand flats.
- These are the little details that make a great light a perfect light.
I charged four of the batteries up fully and put them in. It has a separate on/off switch from the light level switch, which is nice. On high, it puts out a VERY bright, focused beam that illuminates a very LONG distance. Didn't measure it, but I would estimate a football field at least, and farther than any flashlight I've ever owned.
I timed it on High several times, and it went five minutes twice and 7 minutes once, and got really hot, so hot it shut itself off. I could have tested it over and over again as it cooled off, but three tests was enough. Max 7 minutes on high.
I put in newly charged batteries and timed it on the lowest setting. It lasted 214 hours. That's right, just two hours short of 9 days. I couldn't believe it.
I don't know which is making me happier, the light, or the rechargeable AA batteries, but I am WAY happy either way.
I would easily make this purchase again. I love having this powerful, long-lasting AA light, and batteries that I can literally use hundreds of times. I won't even use them very often. Flashlight, batteries, and charger are going right into my emergency kit.
EXCELLENT TO HAVE IN AN EMERGENCY KIT, CAR AND HOME. I LOVED IT SO MUCH I BOUGHT 5 FOR MY FAMILY MEMBERS.....A MUST HAVE LIGHT
