    Overview: All eneloop batteries; 2005-2021

    I have many Eneloop batteries, AAA and AA. I have maybe a year ago acquired a number of Ikea LADDA batteries as well, both AA and AAA, which are thought to be high capacity rebranded Eneloops, I have it on good authority (having been manufactured in Japan, after all). I've been using my La...

    Lumintrail LTK-10 AAA 130 lumens max pretty nice, but...

    I bought a couple Lumintrail LTK-10 single cell AAA flashlights, have been using one for a few days as my EDC. Pros: Very smooth barrel turn to On/Off Can stand on end and has magnetic end as well Comes with reversible clip, can attach for hands free on baseball cap, serve as bike light, even...

    M-L-H (or just H) twisty AAA - neutral white EDC easy one-hand ON/OFF

    Can't seem to find a for-me-ideal EDC AAA twisty. Not the L-M-H iTP A3 EOS 96 Lumen Flashlight -Upgrade Version 1 X AAA -- This is L-M-H and I rarely use L. I have had Lumintop AAA M-L-H EDCs. I lost one a few weeks ago. It was OK, never used the back On/Off button. I bought another on...

    Lumintop (new) twistie/clickie AA not as nice as my original

    It's a AAA not a AA, doesn't appear I can change the thread topic to correct that. It's this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X5M2R9C/?tag=cpf0b6-20

    Lumintop (new) twistie/clickie AA not as nice as my original

    Edit: It's a AAA, not a AA. 6 months ago I received my first Lumintop AA twistie/clickie and love it. I ordered another (both of these are through Amazon), and received it a few days ago but am unhappy. There's a whole lot more resistance when trying to turn it on or off with one hand by...

    1x AAA EDC that starts in Medium?

    Are these always stiff to turn at the point where the light will turn on? I gave up and just removed the O-ring. Now it turns nice and easy, probably too easy, but if I give it ~30 degrees turn I don't think it will turn on inadvertently in my pocket. Talking about the Lumintop Tool 1x AAA EDC...

    1x AAA EDC that starts in Medium?

    Well, I just received my Lumintop Tool. Am I missing something? No illumination, period. Have tried two fully charged Eneloops and an Alkaline that my multimeter says gives out 1.54v. Clickie or twistie, nothing happens. I got it through Amazon, I will call them if it's for sure bad. I suppose...

    1x AAA EDC that starts in Medium?

    I forgot to mention that I do like a twisty. I didn't think I would at first, but all the little EDC carries that I've had (just the iTP A3 EOS Upgrade Version 1's) have been twisties and they have been great and trouble free. I don't think I'd like a clickie now. I just ordered a Lumintop...

    1x AAA EDC that starts in Medium?

    Thanks for the suggestions. If you don't mind, links would be cool, that way I don't have to do the search engine thing. Thanks again. I'm having a look at that at Amazon. It's a little long at 3.2". The L-M-H ones I have are ~2.75" long. Still, I might buy one. Will check out the reviews.

    1x AAA EDC that starts in Medium?

    I've bought more than 1/2 dozen iTP A3 EOS Upgrade Version 1 flashlights over several years. My chief complaint (by and large I love them!) is that they start in Low. I'd prefer the order to be Medium / Low / High. I think I read some years ago that they initially designed it to go Medium /...

    ? EDC one-handed switching / small / rechargables

    My ITP A3 EOS Upgrade 1 AAA arrived this afternoon and I couldn't be happier with it. I immediately removed the chain and clip ring, reversed the clip, dropped in a just-charged Eneloop. The light levels are perfection, the twist on/off easily done one handed, particularly when it's on the bill...

    ? EDC one-handed switching / small / rechargables

    Is there a place I can actually see and handle likely EDC's, say Best Buy? I'm in Berkeley, CA.

    ? EDC one-handed switching / small / rechargables

    Thanks, I should have mine in a day or two, I'll try it out and see. If I can do it easily it may do for me! IIRC I heard that you can put Vaseline on the O-ring too, and that makes it easier to turn, although you obviously don't want it so easy it can turn on inadvertently in your pocket (I...

    ? EDC one-handed switching / small / rechargables

    What is NW (XML)? Amazon has 2 reviews there and one said the switch wouldn't work consistently and it was a return. That's a concern, of course, one wants reliability... and durability.

    ? EDC one-handed switching / small / rechargables

    I ordered an ITP A3 EOS Upgrade 1 AAA flashlight, but figure I'll put it on my car keys. I figure it won't work nicely as an EDC because of the twist on/off feature. I'd like an EDC that I can turn on/off easily with one hand and I figure that means an end button (maybe not, I don't know). I...
