Very difficult NOT to love AAA's these days.

In the original poster's pic? He has a Liteflux LF2XT on the left and a Univex AAA titanium on the right. Both are no longer available and very hard to find.
I'm currently carrying a DQG III AAA.

If we're talking 'keychain' lights, then yes, an AAA light like a Maglite Solitaire can be fine, or even those 'coin lights' that Battery Junction (and others) is giving away. I've got a little 4x357 button, 3 LED 'Chang Special' on my keychain and it's fine for most of my needs and at $2, it's no loss if I lose it.
Now, for an EDC pocket carry light, I just got a Xeno E03 in and it's a pretty smallish light that can run on any AA sized battery, so why not go this route with three times the capacity of a AAA and not a whole lot longer, or thicker? The outputs are greater, as well, even on alkalines vs. Li-Lion.

Yeah, you're kinda missing the point of the thread...:laughing: It's about my appreciation of AAA lights, not alternatives.

I am carrying a Fenix LD01 at this moment - at work. I pretty much carry it throughout the day since buying it. I carry my E01 at home. And I keep an E05 by my mancave recliner. I really like the E05 - it is so tiny and yet so well machined and knurled - and it is the first light to teach me to appreciate an intentionally "floody" beam.
Sure, you can get fairly small lights with a AA and have more power and runtime than AAA. I have a couple of neat AA lights (well one is a 2x AA - yet awesome!). But.... there is something to be said for miniaturization and today's ability to get quite a bit of function out of such tiny form! I personally just find it intriguing. :thumbsup:

Hi Tim,
While it's certainly not in the same class as your two beauties, I really enjoy my Preon ReVO.

I just received one of those yesterday, very nice light indeed.
If you love it, it's in the same class. :thumbsup:

i am not sure though if it is REALLY practical as EDC keychain pendant.
the weight.
I'd love to get my hands on the TIR version as well, would be nice to compare side by side.

I carried the R2 version for over a year. My daughter wanted it so I just bought this R5 version a couple weeks ago. Getting harder and harder to find since they were a limited edition. I carry this on my keychain and I don't even notice the wieght. I've seen people carrying keychains that need a body builder to lift. This is hardly noticable. LOL
Same here, got one on my keys, fits the bill perfectly (small, floody, single mode).
