Just received D3A Ti Nichia 219C 4000K. I like it, but disappointed with some things I noticed.
Pros:
Tint
Beam
Output on Eneloops and EagTac 14500 750 mah is good
Current controlled on Eneloops
Mode memory
Step down from Turbo on Eneloops is gradual, not an abrupt "step-down" as it appears on my older D25A Ti
Cons (to me):
PWM - When on the ET 14500, PWM on Low/Med/High. I thought this light was fully compatible on 14500 per ETs website info.
**I have a 2015 D25A Ti, XPG2 CW and on the Low/Med/High mode group, only Med has PWM and it is very fast (acceptable).
Sucks that this one has PWM (slowish/barely miedium-ish = noticeable) on all three modes.
Turn-on Delay (?) when it's been "resting" for a while and I click to turn it on, there is a delay. After the delay, it turns on fine once it's in use.
**Did notice the half-press change from mode to mode is not super instantaneous as my D25A Ti and two D25Cs (Al & Ti). There is a very slight delay.
I haven't seen much or any info on the D3A light.
Does anyone have one of these D3A and have the same experience? I am not going to return it, but these things do annoy me a little bit about this light. I was planning on running exclusively on my ET 14500, but I do like the output on the Eneloops, so will run it on Eneloops mostly for now.
I really do like EagleTac lights, but I've got a variety already and only got this D3A to treat myself for the holiday.
I now use my incans more than my LEDs, unless I need runtime and/or very bright output for something.
