Skilhunt E2A V2 AA / 14500 EDC Flashlight
The Skilhunt E2A V2 is a compact everyday carry flashlight that runs on a single AA or 14500 battery. Its upgraded buck-boost driver, simple mechanical tail switch, and pocket-friendly 85 mm body make it a practical light for daily tasks, travel, and outdoor use. Choose from three body colors and four LED options, including a 95 CRI 4000K version for natural-looking colors or an LHP351 version with up to 1,000 lumens on a 14500 lithium-ion battery.
Choose your LED and body color
Available in Black, Gun Metal Gray, and Orange. The LED options let you prioritize maximum output, longer reach, or color quality:
-
LHP351 Cool White 6500K: up to 1,000 lumens and 149 meters of beam distance with a 14500 battery.
-
Luminus SST20 Cool White 6500K: up to 800 lumens and 169 meters of beam distance with a 14500 battery.
-
Luminus SST20 Neutral White 5000K: up to 740 lumens and 164 meters of beam distance with a 14500 battery.
-
Luminus SST20 High CRI 4000K: 95 CRI light for accurate color rendering, with up to 520 lumens and 128 meters of beam distance with a 14500 battery.
Output and beam distance depend on the LED and battery. The highest lumen rating and longest beam distance belong to different LED versions. Skilhunt labels the LHP351 option 6500K; its optical graphic specifies a 5700–6500K range.
AA convenience with 14500 performance
Use one 1.5V AA alkaline, one 1.2V AA Ni-MH rechargeable, or one 3.7V 14500 lithium-ion battery. The 0.9–4.2V operating range gives you the flexibility to use widely available AA cells or a 14500 for higher output. Skilhunt's performance testing uses a 920mAh 14500 and a 2500mAh AA Ni-MH battery.
Charging: the flashlight does not have a built-in charging port. Remove rechargeable batteries for charging with a compatible charger. A battery with its own charging port charges through the battery, not through the flashlight. Do not recharge alkaline batteries.

How to operate the E2A V2
Insert the battery with the positive terminal toward the head. Fully press the tail switch to turn the light on or off. While on, half-press the switch to cycle Low, Medium, and High. After the light has been off for more than two seconds, it returns to the memorized brightness when switched on. Remove the battery before long-term storage to help prevent damage from battery leakage.
