Max: 130 lumens, 50 minutes
Min: 3 lumens, 45 hours or 1.9 days!
* Runtimes on one R14500 (protected only)
Max: 130 lumens, 80 minutes
Min: 5 lumens, 60 hours or 2.5 days!
Unique electronic-controlled extremely reliable switch design.
* Unique Infinitely Variable Digitally-controlled Brightness System.
(100 levels of output!)
* Piston Drive (PD) design makes the light more compact than lights with
traditional clicky switches.
* Switch reliability is greatly increased over traditional switches.
* Electronically controlled switching - no spark generated from the piston
contact. This eliminates the risk of explosion in a flammable
environment!
* Electric current passes through the piston on the INSIDE of the light.
No current is passed through the outside shell, which is hard-coat anodized.
* When the light is off, the microprocessor draws very, very little power -
between 0.1-0.4ma (0.2ma typical). For example, one 2000mah cell would
last about 416 days!
* Extremely compact size and lightweight suitable for Every Day Carry (EDC).
* As with all NiteCore products, they use tough, imported 7075
military-grade aluminum!
* Mil-Spec Type III Hard Anodized finish - no bare aluminum exposed, making
it more durable.
* Resistant to impact from dropping in accordance with US MIL-STD-810F.
* Waterproof to IPX-8 standard.
* Broad-voltage fully regulated circuit, compatible with standard primary
batteries as well as protected li-ion cells
* Uses a highly efficient Cree XR-E Q5 WC LED lamp.
* 130 lumens at maximum output.
* Extended runtime on low (3-5 lumens)
* Metal reflector with optical grade coating.
* Impact-resistant optical lens with Dual-Coating(tm) technique.
(AR coating on inside, Diamond coating on the outside)
The D10:
* Uses common AA's as well as protected lithium-ion R14500's!
* Dimensions: 89mm x 19mm or 3.5in x 0.75in (length x diameter)
* Weight: 40g or 1.4oz (without batteries) | | | Features: | |

Compact, bright and long lasting. Need I say more?Dec 17, 2008
I bought this to replace an old 2 AA cell Maglight that got lost. Originally I wanted a 2 AA cell flashlight but after reading up on the Cree-LED based flashlights I thought I could risk getting a 1 AA cell unit. I haven't regretted it. This is a very bright flashlight and lasts quite a long time on that single AA cell. What's more, the brightness can be adjusted in a nearly continuous range so that you have just the brightness level you need for the job at hand. This is important as with these LEDs, you can have too much light, which is not a problem with that old Maglight.
One small downside I just fixed: it is round, so it will roll away on sloping surfaces. However, I got a clip from a different vendor and that fixed the problem.

State of the ArtAug 04, 2008
If you look into the world of today's high tech flashlights, this one is one of the most highly regarded. Easy to use, many settings and very powerful. This one uses the AA battery and its brother the EX10, uses a CR123A. The CR123A is much preferable to the alkaline AA, but isn't as easily found and can be pricy. The lithium AA is powerful, but a bit pricy.
