    AA Lights

    I pulled the trigger on a L2D Q5. It came down to price, accessories, and availability. For base price, the Proton and L2D were nearly tied - I added $20 to that because I bought the red filter and diffuser tip. Turns out Fenix Canada's really close so shipping is cheap and fast. In any...

    AA Lights

    That's too bad. Not that I really need high output over 100 lumens often, but it'd be nice to be able to carry just one flashlight. At 53 lumens, the L2D Q5 lasts 10.5 hours, and you're saying the Proton Pro only outputs 50-60 lumens, but I assume the manufacturer's 1.5 hour runtime claim still...

    AA Lights

    See, that's exactly what I want. Too bad there's no 2xAA version. Personally, I'd prefer the longer life and slightly higher output of a 2xAA version, and the increased size would be nice too, for ease of finding / not misplacing the light. A brief comparison: L2D Q5 @ 107 lumens = 4h, Proton...

    AA Lights

    I was originally planning to buy a light that used a 18650, but it's been a few months since those thoughts (a costly repair took away my flashlight money) and I now have twelve Sanyo Eneloops for my camera flash. In any case, that means I can have two sets of four for the flash, and two sets of...

    Rechargeable Recommendations

    Mm, another possibility. It looks like AA Rechargeables are substantially better versus their disposable counterparts than 123A Rechargeables vs their standards - So are rechargeable AAs a viable solution for something like an L2D? Edit: In other news, Fenix has a number of filters for sale...

    I see. And what would your red light happen to be? I'd quite like to use a switchable light as an EDC (In this case, the M1-R) and have a special-purpose light with a set of filters.

    Hmm, alright. I'm looking at the M1-R which appears to both be brighter, and get better run times than the M1-T. As for batteries, I think I'll go with Batteryjunction's suggested TL-100 for a charger, and these LG 18650s for their high capacity. WRT the CL1H, I think I'll stay away from it...

    Thanks for the heads-up regarding rechargeable 123As; Guess I'll be avoiding them. In the review that is linked to by that product page, it's mentioned that the 18650s result in a lower output/throw. The review is fairly current (Februrary of this year.), so I assume that factor still applies...

    Interesting alternative - Unfortunately, this room doesn't get much natural light, hence the need for a flashlight. Question regarding SureFires / similar lights: I've seen some rechargeable 123As online that seem to have slightly higher voltage than SF's own batteries - I've also read that...

    Rechargeable Recommendations

    So, I'm looking for a rechargeable flashlight for use around the house - I currently have a rechargeable Maglit, but that's a bit.. unwieldy, for certain applications, namely peering inside a PC case, into cupboards, etcetera, where a fraction of the lumens would do. I have two Minimags as...
