    Recommend 1xAAA Light

    Amazon has the rayus c01 for $5.90 right now. With the option of a Nichia for the same price. Basically identical to the 1st version e05; single mode ~30 lumens for 3-4 hours runtime. Just got one of these too and the build quality seems nice. On par with lumintop and Olight. Close to fenix.

    Recommend 1xAAA Light

    i have purchased that one from Amazon and it definitely has the Nichia. The seller is not lumintop, though so it may be a special run or mod. I unscrewed the pull from the head (not glued in on the tool) and if it is a mod, I sure can't tell.

    It's back on! Scout24 has added a challenger! 5MM LED AAA Light Challenge

    I'd like to see that test! :) The PWB in my E01 is not mounted perfectly straight, so one side near the edge has worn almost through the pad. I've been putting solder on it to stop it from wearing further, but I have to reapply about once a year (it is not an EDC light anymore). I'm sure one...

    The one thing I wonder about concerning the durability of these types of light are the circuit board pads used to make electrical contact. It seems like a true long term EDC usage scenario (unlike short duration abuse) could result in wearing out the pads from the twisty action.

    Eiger runtime with Nichia 219?

    Thanks again, Archimedes, for your input. Reppans, that is a good point. Do you have an opinion one way or the other?

    Eiger runtime with Nichia 219?

    Ha, that seems to be the consensus. Since you describe it as robust, I'm assuming you haven't had issues with the pill wearing out like some have?

    Eiger runtime with Nichia 219?

    What are your thoughts on QTC? Do you think it works pretty smoothly?

    Eiger runtime with Nichia 219?

    I used to have a single mode eiger thAt I dropped a QTC square in. It was super hard to turn and compress the material. That made it hard to judge the smoothness of the ramp. It also made me worry about wearing out the threads due to the forces applied. it seems like opinions are mixed on the...

    Eiger runtime with Nichia 219?

    Thanks. I've seen that before. So do you think the nichia is a similar runtime to say, 50%? basically, I'm thinking of ordering one if I don't get any responses to my WTB thread, and I'm trying to decide between single mode or QTC.
