Please help I lost my fenix

[lumitoid]

I have been away from this board a while but this week I lost my fenix 1aa I have carried for years. I have to replace it and am looking for the brightest 1 AA light with the warmest tint. I prefer a twisty (I know not the norm but I never have a twisty switch go bad) What I am after is a LED with the tint of a incandensent flashlight. Thanks for any suggestions.

Quark MiNi AA. Great little light. Dunno if its still available in neutral tint, but even the cool tint is pretty decent, and very bright.

Agreed, try to get a neutral tint. :twothumbs

1AA, twisty: Nitecore D10, Olight I15, Quark Mini AA, Maratac AA, IlluminaTi, ITP A2 EOS, Tank007 E07, Zebralight H50. I'd say the ITP A2 EOS - close to the Mini AA, not quite as bright but is usually a bit whiter tint (than the regular non-warm Mini).

the illuminati is AAA.........

but yeah the quark mini AA in neutral seems like an obvious choice. I love my quark mini 123 although i stuck with the regular cool white.

I guess it might be worth checking out shiningbeam.com too they carry a number of neutral lights, although it sounds like you were thinking of something a bit nicer if you are trying to replace a fenix.

Thanks, I will look into the Quark AA and others. One question, Do you have to turn the Quark on and off 3 times before you get to High Mode. That seems like a lot of twisting. I dont know if I was reading the right discription on 4 stevens site about the modes.

You can get Nitecore D10 SP with warm tint option. The switch on the Nitecore D10 is pretty much failsafe.

Thanks Phaselock. I was looking at the D10 last night but did not know I could get it in a warm tint. Could you tell me who sells it.

Yes you would need to twist it 3 times to get to high. If the twisting is a concern then look into the nitecore EZAA. It was available in a neutral tint as well, although i'm not sure if anyone has those in stock anymore. I'm sure with a wtb thread in the marketplace one would turn up soon enough though. You twist on for low and just twist further to get to high
