    Looking for Simple Affordable Single AA Thrower w/Momentary Function and 2 Modes

    The only thing I can think of is a Peak El Capitan. http://www.peakledsolutions.net/pocket_lights/pocket_lights/el_capitan.html AFAIK the "High-color Rendering Index" option is a warm XPG with 80+CRI. There's a narrow optic for throw and a momentary switch available. Whole setup will set you...

    AAA thrower

    Maybe a Peak Eiger with the narrow optic? Specific info on these lights is kinda hard to come by but I plan on trying one out at some point.

    Yeah I was just passing time configuring a light, as you do, and saw the no battery compartment option maybe this work week(?) but don't recall specifically. No announcement on the front page.

    HDS Systems EDC # 19

    The Executive comes with these presets: A= Level 24 B= Level 16 C= Level 20 D= Level 8 Which are different outputs depending on the model. For example a 200lm light is 200, 8.12, 40.3, and 0.33 lumens respectively. While a 250lm light is 250, 9.4, 48.5, and 0.35 lumens. I'm not sure about...

    M-L-H (or just H) twisty AAA - neutral white EDC easy one-hand ON/OFF

    Most of the AAA lights in neutral white are of the 4000k variety which you have stated is too yellow (warm) for your tastes. Maybe you would prefer something closer to 5000k? Honestly if the Tool works well for you, you can have the emitter swapped by a CPF member for not too much either...

    Zebralights ui

    18650s are pretty common at vape shops (which are everywhere around here) and are rechargeable so they don't need to be as common to be useful. Plus they have a heck of a output/runtime advantage. But I'm not here to proselytize! The UI has kept me away from Zebralight up to this point. I've...

    Battery Charging Spreadsheet

    I doubt there's a better solution than a spreadsheet for this kind of data. Some smart people can make some pretty interesting charts and graphs with those spreadsheets too. As far as suggestions, maybe try Google Sheets for a free and easy spreadsheet app that you can use on a phone if you're...

    Review: LED Lenser P7.2 (4xAAA)

    I always liked LED Lenser's body designs. Although I've not used one, I found them to be one of the more visually interesting designs at local shops. Your well written review leaves me feeling meh about them functionally though. Thanks for the read [emoji4]

    Your EDC Battery

    I use a pocket light with an 18650 and a keychain light with a AAA Eneloop. Rechargeables work really well for me.
