Smallest 1 x AAA clicky?

[jorn]

Checked the new dqg clicky. No li-ion support on that one. But the new clicky looks sweet.

could be the switch would burn out under additional amperage.

Which DQG are you referring to?

The one mr floppy was mentioning in post 196.

If y'all are talking about item #1999 on CNQ (not sure if I'm allowed to include a link), I've got a NW version coming in the mail (along with a S1). Not sure when it will get here, the tracking # isn't active yet (ordered yesterday).

Let me know what things you would like to know and I'll try to remember to revisit this topic

 

[recDNA]

I'm still interested also.

140 lumens sounds better than 10 lumens. I just cannot find the flashlight discussed above at cnqualitygoods.com. The titanium model that can handle lithium ion battery sounds great. I scoured the website but no luck. I found a ss model but not the one discussed above. The one I saw had strobe. unacceptable.

o

RecDNA. How about the cqg s1? Whats wrong with that?

It looks nice. the fairy brass model and spy model also look nice. anybody care to comment on the fairy brass or cnq spy? I know theyre not clickies but soook small.

I would also like to order the s1 or the titanium version that uses 10440 but can you order just 1 thing from cnq? they call themselves wholesalers.

Maybe a bit over the OP's price point, but why not try to find a LF2xt. Nothing else compares.

It would be too old for such complex electronics to be dependable used. Yours may still be fine but seller's may not be. It's also a little complicated for my taste.

Hey recDNA - may I ask in your 2+ year search if you have found a light that fits your needs?

I think the LF2XT would still be your best bet. It has a simple UI mode that is not too complicated. Also - I find your remark on dependability to be completely unfounded and based on what? Because you think the electronics are too complicated? Just so you are aware the electronics on this driver are no more complicated than on your typical $5 AMC1735 based chinese driver for a P60 drop-in. It's all in the programming of the mCPU. I have personally owned over 20 of these LF2XT lights and probably had another 10-15 pass through my hands doing mods. In all that time I've only had one catastrophic failure and that one was entirely my fault when modding.

Personally, and completely my opinion, but if you have been looking for a light for 2+ years and dismissing every option thrown your way then I have a question and a statement for you:

Question - What have you been using on your keychain in the meantime?
Statement - You are being way too picky.

Obviously it is you prerogative to go down your own light quest - and I do ultimately wish you success. Maybe you should consider doing what TGWNN did and design and build your own light - in 2 years you would've already had it built exactly as you want it.

 

[recDNA]

Nope, still looking. No interest in l2fxt. Too old. Prefer xpg2. Don't want to customize. Cost too much to design my own. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I can afford to be picky since my life doesn't depend on it. Had hoped (foolishly) to inspire one of our custom builders to design a flashlight something like my preference. My current keychain light meets my needs but is too heavy and big. It is an eagletac d25c with 2 amp xpg2.

When I first started this thread I thought there may have been just such a flashlight available (AAA, clicky, small, powerful) that I was unaware of.

 

[ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond]

No problem - maybe you should work with a custom maker to design your own light. Use somebody like Jeff to build the body and Mattaus to put together the driver for you.


BTW - all my LF2XT lights are running either XP-G2 or XP-E2 of varying tints. It's not too old - best damn light I've ever used.

Good luck.

If your lf2xt has an xpg2 it is custom. I'm surprised you'd take the chance of ruining an irreplaceable flashlight. If new ones were still being manufactured I would absolutely look into one... But I bet it would cost too much. Really, all I want is 2 modes, low and high. Kind if a waste to spend so much to control output levels when all I really care about is getting a powerful high beam and a lower level more practical one. I don't need 1 lumen for low. 10 lumen low is fine. Heck, I'd be afraid to carry the lf2xt on my keychain. I just want a usable tool. I do wish I bought one back when they were new and guaranteed but that's water over the bridge. I do love the electronic clicky.

My smallest is the Lumintop Tool AAA. Quite a handy light, when you've to go small and lightweight.

I know I can look it up myself but it is interesting to read about it in this thread. Modes? Emitter? Output? Clicky? Still manufactured?

Don't know if they're still making them.

I wish I bought 10 when they were cheap. Who knew - I had just joined CPF and begun my journey when they were in their prime - I didn't discover them until a year or two back. If they were produced again and $60 it would be a perfect fit, but I understand your argument.

I am very comfortable working with electronics so modding the lights was pretty straight forward for me.

The new dual mode (72/14 lumens) version of the Pelican 1910 is a little larger than the less powerful Streamlight Microstream. The Pelican is relatively inexpensive and may suit your needs.

I am more than satisfied with it so far, though I carry it in a shirt pocket instead of on a key chain.

 

[recDNA]

Thanks but Im looking for greater max output.
