    Wanted Flashlight: Single-mode, long runtime, runs on 1-2 AA's, under $50

    I know it's been about 2.5 years since the last post, but I noticed I never thanked wjv and tjswarbrick. So, thank you both for your suggestions. And thanks to the other people who commented as well. I ended up going with a non-qtc Peak El Capitan and I epoxied a clip to it. Here's a little...

    Epoxy a slide-on clip to a Peak El Capitan?

    Well, since this thread is still open, I'll post a follow-up. I went ahead and bought this clip: http://www.batteryjunction.com/fenix-fx-pc.html I used a rotary tool to remove some of the knurling from the El Cap to accommodate the part of the clip that connects the "band" to the "arm". The...

    toughest, longest-lasting, 1 or 2 AA light with a clip

    Hi All. Thanks to everyone who commented on this thread. I ended up buying a non-QTC Peak El Capitan and fitting it with a pocket clip for Fenix AAA lights. Here's a link to a little description of what I did: link

    Pocket clips

    On Peak's website, both the Logan CR123 and Logan 17500 have a listed barrel diameter of 0.78 inches. So the ZL clip should fit the same on both. Has anyone found a good clip for the El Capitan? According to Peak, the barrel diameter is 0.738 inches (about 1mm less than the Logan). Also, has...

    toughest, longest-lasting, 1 or 2 AA light with a clip

    Thanks for your reply, archimdedes. Indeed, it seems that Prometheus Lights still has Eiger clips (and Preon clips) which might work. I did find a forum post on edcforums which claims that the Eiger clip will fit the El Cap ( link ). I'm considering that route but also wondering if there is...

    toughest, longest-lasting, 1 or 2 AA light with a clip

    Hi All, I'm looking for a light that is... - Very tough, reliable, long-lasting, and water resistant - Runs on 1 or 2 AA cells - Has a pocket clip or can be easily fitted with one In terms of features, I'm not looking for modes or output regulation. My thinking is that simpler is tougher. I...

    Epoxy a slide-on clip to a Peak El Capitan?

    Hi everybody, I'm thinking about buying a Non-QTC El Capitan from Peak and attaching a pocket clip to it. One thought I had is to buy a slide-on clip and epoxy it to the body. Has anyone attempted such a thing? Can anyone recommend a clip that would fit well on the El Cap? Peak's website says...

    Wanted Flashlight: Single-mode, long runtime, runs on 1-2 AA's, under $50

    Wanted Flashlight: Single-mode, long runtime, runs on 1-2 AA's, under $50

    Thank you for your suggestion, Norm. That looks like a good option for me. The description of the light on em-mgt.com says that it is a high power light. This makes me wonder: How much runtime should I expect? Is there another similar light with better runtime? Also, this light barely squeaks in...
