    4xAA Round-up Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, VIDEOS, PROS & CONS, and more!

    Another huge Thank You to selfbuilt for pulling all this info together! I can only imagine how much time & effort it takes to complete a comparison like this. I had purchased a EA4 awhile ago, but after reading this comparison I decided to add a D40a to my small flashlight collection.

    Nitecore EA4 Equivilant

    How about another EA4. Illumination Supply has a 25% discount code "Treat" that's good from 10/25 to 10/31/14. And has EA4s on sale for $39.99, so using code they're $29.99 plus shipping. I don't think you'll find anything comparable for less $$$...especially if your FIL likes to kill...

    Any real-world feedback on the Nitecore MH40 (Thor)? Or a detailed review?

    I haven't had any problems Soames. In fact when I read you response, I grabbed mine and flipped it all over the place while bumping it somewhat hard with my other hand. I tried bumps to the head, tail and body while moving it about with no change in light level, no flickering, etc. And...

    Recommend A Good Work Light Please! (Police, Fire, Search & Rescue, Caving, Survival)

    Re: Recommend A Good Work Light Please! As you can see I'm a Nitecore fan, but I was more of an Olight fan until Nitecore added so many new models recently. So I am only commenting on the brands I know well in my postings. I previously focused on you mentioning 18650 batteries, and forgot to...

    Recommend A Good Work Light Please! (Police, Fire, Search & Rescue, Caving, Survival)

    Re: Recommend A Good Work Light Please! There's many choices in the 800 to 900 lumens arena, and I doubt you'll be able to tell much difference verse 1000 lumens in the real world. Here's a few: Take a look at Nitecore's MH25 (860 lumens, 1x18650, street price $65 to $75) or their MH40 (900...

    I found this German review of the MH40: http://www.taschenlampen-test.de/reviews/nitecore-mh40 Just copy and paste the URL/address into this translator and you're set: http://www.bing.com/translator The same site has an interesting article about using a Labsphere to measure max lumens for 68...

    Volume measurement in professional integrating sphere

    Thank you for performing this comparison! While you state not to use this info for reference measuring each flashlight, I think it is very useful to compare a given light to others with similar-stated lumens.

    68 Flashlights compared using Labsphere

    While researching some potential flashlights for a purchase, I found this German comparison of 68 flashlights. It just presents the maximum lumens of each flashlight on its highest setting. Some are older models while some are recently introduced versions, and it spans multiple brands. While...

    Any real-world feedback on the Nitecore MH40 (Thor)? Or a detailed review?

    John, I understand you confusion since the numeric part of the two models are similar(MT40 vs MH40). The video referenced is for the MT40. You could infer its a similar version except for an internal charger. But while both use 2x18650s/4xcr123s and XM-L U2, they are quite different: - MT40s...

    NITECORE TM26 QUADRAY (4 x XM-L U2 | 1-4x18650 / 2-8xR/CR123) Review

    Can't wait for you to dive into the internal charging system. It will be interesting to see if this sub-system functions similarly to the P25(1x18650), but with 4x18650s to manage here.

    Subwoofer's Flashlight reviews

    I've enjoyed your reviews alot. Any chance you'll be reviewing the MH40? Its the big dog in Nitecore's MH line, yet it seems overlooked amongst the EA4, EA8 and P25 fanfare. And those 3 lights are interesting within their own specs. Nitecore has debuted many new lights in a short timeframe...

    Any real-world feedback on the Nitecore MH40 (Thor)? Or a detailed review?

    Thanks Tim, I appreciate your input! I have a Olight T-25 and diffuser for low-light work. I want a thrower for trips to my northern Wisconsin cabin, as I enjoy walking thoughout the 5 acres at night. I'd probably use the non-turbo levels mostly, but if I hear something in the distance, I'd...

    Any real-world feedback on the Nitecore MH40 (Thor)? Or a detailed review?

    Seems the Nitecore MH40 has slipped thru the cracks for those that perform detailed reviews, like those normally done by Selfbuilt, Subwoofer, and others. I'd imagine much of that is caused by Nitecore not supplying these reviewers with a MH40 for review. Perhaps Nitecore sees the MH40 has...

    Police Study of tactical use of Strobe

    Thank you to the OP for sharing these findings. Its very helpful to find unbiased research in this area.

    Shotgun mounted light for HD

    I have a Olight T-25 mounted on my Mossberg 590 shotgun for the last few years and haven't had a problem with it, but its under 1", more like .80. Check out the Olight M20 or M21 series lights as they have 1" tube bodies. They're available as standalone lights, or you can find flashlight kits...
