Hi guys. I'm streamlining my bugout gear to run off AA's. I have a Goal Zero Guide 10 Plus and Nomad 7 solar panel to charge the AAs.
I've moved my headlamps to AAs as well starting with the Fenix HL21.
My current pocket EDC is a Fenix LD10. Nice to have another in the BOB but too expensive for something that just sits there.
There is already an old Inova X1 reflector type with a 5mm LED in there but I need something with more power and I need 2 of them. 1 for miy BOB and 1 for the Mrs' BOB.
I've had good luck with Fenix since I got my P1D-CE and P2D years ago and are still going strong. Also the E01 I gave my wife and the E05 I gave my mom.
My experience with Fenix makes me lean towards either the E12 or LD15 and I have the diffuser tip/wand to make it a lamp if need be. I was trying to look for the newer Inova X1 but couldn't find it in Target anymore.
I'm only in the US a couple of days a month. I do have access to Target, Walmart and REI when I'm there.
Less moving parts for the twist switch should make it more robust but the convenience of the tailswitch especially for emergencies could be indispensible.
What would you guys go for in bugout bag/emergency bag? Twisty or clicky?
If you have any other suggestions of brands and models, I'm open to them.
Thanks!
