Reliability trumps all. That is why there are E01's on my key rings. If I need light, I know it will work. You can keep all of the three dollar cheap crap that's brighter. My opinion. No more strongly worded than the E01 haters posts... :kiss: :grouphug: To quote my Wife, "You're entitled to your opinion even if it's wrong."
 
I too love this little light. It is not the brightest, but few lights can take the abuse the E01 can for the same price. I have to check with my Fenix dealer to see if they have updated versions.

Found a forgotten eo1 the other day in the drawer...must be 6-7years old when it first came out. Still bright with the original battery.

Exactly. For the reasons above, the E01 is just as awesome today as it was many years ago.
 
Well, my very first light was the E01. Later, when I got more and more into lights, I realized that it wasn't as bright as I needed a light to be at times. However, the E01's proved to be so reliable and so TOUGH that not long ago I paid the same money for another E01 just to put it on my keys, bang it around whatnot and know that it'll never ever fail. It may be pricey for a tiny light like that, but I'm all about its being build like a tank and working no matter what you do to it. Or maybe I just don't see enough AAA lights in my country to compare.

Correct you do not see enough lights to compare.The EO1 is a seriously dependable light source that takes abuse but as technology has moved on the EO1 is now hideously over priced compared to the competition.The chappy who said do not get my cyberlight wet or dropped is just been silly and trying to be clever.It has been dropped and left in my jeans pocket and had a 40 degree wash and came out working and still does.

I'm sure it's a fine light but I doubt it's as robust as the E01.

Agreed, I for one vote for getting this thread back on topic, you guys can start a new thread for the 'wannabe EO1 killer' and post potential candidates there. You could even post a link to it in here for those that are curious. :)
 
EO1, is my flashlight with the less throw of all my lights, and the Nitecore TM36, my farthest throwing light.

Both awsome lights.
 
As far as I am concerned the EO1 thread never went off topic,just checked my alkaline battery in mine and all is good.The good point for an EO1 being so outdated is it is great for finishing off old Alkies.
 
I gave one to my wife a few years ago and she has it on her key chain. Very often she will tell me 'I had to use my little torch today' Every once in awhile I put in a fresh rechargeable cell and it keeps on tickin'
 
^^ It is starting to look like I tried to polish it or something, but no, that's just from years and years of being carried every single day on my keys.
 
Wow. Cool :D It'll soon look like some special black&white limited edition :grin2:
