Someone PLEASE build an affordable Ti or Cu AAA light.....

[F250XLT]

I think they would be a huge seller, why doesn't anyone cater to the AA/AAA market?

If someone was going to put one together, what features would you like to see?

[calipsoii]

iTP A3 EOS Ti: $35.95
Klarus Mi X6 Ti: $55
Preon 1 Ti: $55
Univex Titanium: $135
McGizmo Sapphire: $150
Muyshondt Mako: $150

There are lots of Ti AAA's on the market running the full gamut of prices, what more do you want?

[F250XLT]

Speaking more from the custom makers, and something better than a 5W LED....Something fresh, something different, something with options.

[easilyled]

As far as looks go, the Ti LF2XT in This Sales Thread is just about as perfect as it gets.

As the Liteflux UI seems out-of-bounds for use, a simple 3-speed UI with memory and a low low would suffice.

How about it Steve (Kuku)?

Agreed, that was my inspiration for starting this thread.

The closest thing on the market is the LumaPower Avenger GX, but it's aluminum instead of Ti, the switch boot is stiff, the UI goes from Hi to Lo instead of Lo to Hi, and the mode spacing puts the lowest and highest settings too close together.

As I understand it, the problem is finding someone who can make a driver board that will fit in a 10mm circle, because that's the size of an AAA battery. I think this problem could be avoided by using a longer rectangular driver board that "stands on-end" inside the light instead of "laying flat", similar to the orientation of the high-mode driver in a McGizmo Lunasol light. That would give the manufacturer much more room to work with.

I would like to see something with a mini PD like interface. Not nitecores monstrocity, but something along Dons simple 2 stage switch.

[Ualnosaj]

So basically a Fenix LD01 SS but in Ti

If not Ti, how about Copper?

[jalal20]

He is out of stock on those, not sure who the maker was over there.

[jalal20]

Too bad, those are nice Ti lights
he writes the name of the manufacturer at the top of the thread but I don't think they have a website or a store, probably just a small factory

Exactly what I was thinking, I have the LD01 SS and the L0-Ti and love them both, the cross between the two would be nearly exactly what was mentioned.

Not bad but its quite a bit longer than the L2FXT and not nearly as pretty as the the one in the Sales Thread linked above.

Really? I thought it should be shorter. I don't have any of those 2 lights but the reflector on the Liteflux seemed bigger

[jabe1]

I've been after a copper AAA light for awhile, I missed the Maratacs. I think a copper Peak Eiger would do perfectly!

[Fenris]

Maratac has a copper flashlight........................................ ........

what about the flupic drivers that are used in the drake and draco?

Not sure if those were made by Goldserve, but he is out of the hobby I believe.

[Obijuan Kenobe]

If you don't have a fluPIC...you will have to seek an old engine out in the swap. There are even those that still know how to rig them.

They are a fair sized company. Only thing is they make medical equipment 99.9% of the time.

Soooooo, Steve...are you gonna help us out here?

My Lumapower Avenger GX goes Lo-Med-Hi. And it remembers the last mode. (I think you can order one without mode memory though).

Depends on what you mean by affordable.

L-M-H with no memory and a clicky is doable.
2XT style light is going to be a lot harder and I need more volume to attract the right electrical engineers.

I'm game for a small L-M-H with no memory!

[rumack]

I recently asked CountyComm if they had any plans for another run of the Copper Maratac AAA and they said they might do one someday, but nothing soon. If they had been available in a neutral or HCRI tint originally I probably would have bought several. Maybe if enough of us email CountyComm enquiring about them, CountyComm will accelerate their schedule.

I can always afford KuLights

Might not be a bad idea for everyone to let them know we are patiently waiting

[CarpentryHero]

I'd be game for a L,M,H no memory with a diffuser, or an XML or a hi cri

Why is adding memory difficult or less affordable?
