Nitecore EZ AA

NOTICE: On 4/11/2009 Nitecore has announced that they are issuing a recall of all Nitecore EZ AA lights.  Please click HERE for my impressions of the revised “Ver: 1.1″ product.

The Nitecore EZ AA is the first light in the newly introduced EZ series of lights by Nitecore. This series drops the standard programmable, feature-rich user interfaces that Nitecore is known for in favor of a simple 2 stage light that requires no complex learning curve to operate.

The Rogue series of lights is the first foray into the illumination market by relative newcomer Icon. Late addition to the game however, Icon is no stranger to flashlights. Their design originates with Surefire VP Paul Kim, himself an icon to many flashlight connoisseurs.

EDIT 3/30/2010: EagleTac has released a slightly revised version of this excellent light.  For impressions of those revisions, please click HERE.

The new P100 series were designed to be highly durable, efficient and reasonably priced flashlights. Their origin claims they are for Law enforcement and Military usage, but they function very well for the average consumer also providing a reliable tool that does what it is supposed to.
