I currently carry an eagletac d25c on my keychain so I can tolerate a flashlight that size on my keychain but no bigger. My eagletac no longer dependably goes to lower power when I loosen head. This is unacceptable because I sometimes need to illuminate a specimen without blinding a student (as I did in lab the other night). I really love the adjustment wheel rather than tapping the clicky or twisting back and forth like a 4sevens mini.
I'd prefer at least 1.5 amps max output (lights shut off in lab by themselves and I like to illuminate the entire area while I wave my arms like a fool to turn them back on).
The fly in the ointment is I do not want to spend a fortune. Xpg2 or xml would be best.
Must be no bigger than d25c and must have a keychain loop. Although I like clickies an adjustment of the head starting at off then gradually brighter as I turn head in one direction (not back and forth!) would be fine. I prefer no flashy modes but if turning in the opposite direction (to avoid accidental flashiness) is good.
Multiple modes rather than infinite adjustment are also ok as long as I just turn in one direction starting at lowest and advancing toward highest output as I twist in one direction
Must be under $100, preferably well under.
Suggestions? Thanks!
