Best small light,out throws lights 2xlumens
"I have owned this light for several years and with the smooth reflector there is still no lights that compare to this light. New triple emitter lights pushing 3000+ lumens still cant match the throw of this light. Best RCR123 light, test it youurself! SCRRCS"

Love it!
"Awesome light. Can't believe how powerful it is for the small size. Only downside is the blinking red LED seems to drain the battery pretty quick, so I just disable it with a 1/4 turn of the battery cover. Highly recommend if you want a small light."

Great features, great little light IF it didn't drain batteries
"When in the basic off mode (red LED flashing) it will drain a new cr123 in a month. I tried it in lock out mode and it still drained the battery. Everything else is great, but this makes it impossible to call it a good light."

Great little light
"Pretty great little light. Like the compact small size. Great brightness for such a small light. I like the U. I and versatility. Good hot spot with a nice spill. Interested in trying 16340’s to see how much brighter the light can get. Good lumen per dollar. Overall I am enjoying this light and other Nitecore products."

Great Mini Light
"I've owned this torch for little over a year now and it's by far the best light on the market. I carry this every where because of it's size. Fits in my pocket perfectly. It has a great throw with 4 settings. The red flashing light is the best feature in finding this in the dark. I've dropped this several times and it's never had an issue. I'm going to purchase a few more for gifts because I think this light will actually get used by my family because of it's size."

Good light but battery dies in lockout mode
"This light is great and I leave it on my nightstand in lockout mode. For the second time I have tried to use this light and it would not turn on! It\'s sat for a month maybe and totally dead . 7 volts. Reall makes me mad! It won\'t die while on a camp out but store it with no batteries and rely on something else!"

Ok Light, but not good with batteries
"The light has a very good throw. The light is also very bright for it\'s size, rivaling my Fenix PD30 R5. I like all of the settings, too. However, this light drains batteries very quickly. I do not mean just when using it. I have multiple EDC lights and cycle them. I did not use this light for about a month and put it into the lock-out mode. However, when I went to use it during hurricane Sandy, the battery was completely dead and would not even turn on. I have about 20 flashlight varying in different sizes, etc. and have never had this happen. I believe that this light has way to much parasitic drain to be a dependable light, when used sparingly. I did EDC this light for quite awhile and found it to be small, light, and being able to cover most of my needs at work and home. However, the abilty to grab a light when needed and not be worried about it turning on is not something I want."

Very Nice!
"I just recieved it yesterday. I\'m very impressed with it so far. It seems to be a true lumen rating compared to some of the other lights I have. The quality is excellant and I expect it will hold up well. I think I am going to invest in the EA2 now that I see how well it works. Hope I am just as pleased with the EA2."

"This little light is awsome! It\'s functionally couldn\'t be easier. I purchased it just because I\'ve never seen one before and wanted one. A fun little light to have. I like it so much that I purchased it\'s big brother the EC2. Now I have 2 excellent illuminators to play with!"

Will give the Surefire EIB a run for the money.
"Only have had the light for a short time, so can\'t comment on long-term reliability. However, light output, size and functionality are impressive. Smaller and much brighter than the E1-B for a lot less money. Perfect EDC light."
