Nitecore EA81

High Performance LED Searchlight

Quad-Die emitter for 2150 lumen output

The Nitecore EA81 is a high-powered LED flashlight that utilizes a CREE XHP50 LED to emit a world-illuminating 2150 Lumens of bright white LED output. At full power, this flashlight throws a beam that reaches an astonishing 462 Meters, perfect for outdoor use as a searchlight. With a unique orange peel style reflector, the light of the EA81 provides a strong flood beam that makes lighting large areas a breeze. Whether you are on a camping trip, search and rescue mission, or any other outdoor activity, the EA81 has your back with superior output, construction and a convenient power source of eight AA batteries!

Convenient Power Source

Power up your flashlight anytime, anywhere

One of the best features of the EA81 is that it uses a popular and widely available power source, eight standard sized AA batteries. This light can run on either regular alkaline, rechargeable NiMh or primary lithium power sources. Using just eight of these popular batteries, this flashlight has access to a wide variety of modes, including the 2150 lumen turbo mode, as well as strobe and SOS emergency modes. Since AA batteries are so widely available, you can rest assured that a power source for your favorite flashlight is always somewhere nearby.

Impressive light
January 4, 2018
Great flashlight. I have several of the EA41 4 cell so this is very similar in function, but obviously longer as a 8 cell and twice as bright. The interface is easy to use and overall the EA81 balances nicely in my hand. Would highly recommend this if you're looking for a medium sized flashlight with a very bright output. If you want something more compact go with the EA41.
Pros
  • Extremely bright, used common AA batteries, great price from batteryjunction
Cons
  • a little heavy

NICE!

Uo until this point, my brightest alkaline battery light was an older version EA41 at around 960 lumen. This EA81 destroys it! Its like a laser! I didn't want to have to go and buy a bunch of rechargeable batteries and charger yet....and this EA81 definitely fills that void of a powerhouse light using AA batteries.
Pros
  • Bright!
  • Well made.
Cons
  • none

Very nice light!

I have had this EA81 for a month now and it's a top quality light for sure.
This is now my 4th Nitecore light and it works great, just like the others do.
The switch buttons are a great improvement even for some of their other models.
I bought (2) from Battery Junction when they were on sale, glad I did, my buddy got the other one the day it came in.

Pros
  • Well built and top notch light.
  • Love the AA battery compartment configuration.
Cons
  • None!
