AA or 2x AA with side clickie

[hauser]

Hi,
I'm looking for a small AA or 2 AA flashlight for my mom.
The Light must have:

- Side Clicke (important)
- max 20$ shipped (Germany)
- at least 1 Watt (no 5mm LED)
- low and high mode (preferred) or single mode
- colour anything but black

Any recommendations?

Thanks
Hauser

As you know, side clickies are not easy to find. And when the light must cost no more than $20, shipped to Germany, the challenge is that much more difficult. I know of one: Romisen RC-P3 2AA, available on German eBay.

Have you already looked at the lights offered at those two Asian dealers who have hundreds of low-cost lights? (I am not permitted to name them here.) If so, can you tell us which lights meet these criteria, and we can respond with our opinions.

Here are some other side-clicky lights that will cost a bit more than $20 shipped; they are the cheapest that I know of:

DeWalt DPGA-1AA and DPGA-2AA (each about $29 plus shipping)

Streamlight Task-Light 1AA and 2AA (about $15 to $17 plus shipping)

Anything by Dorcy? Brinkmann? Mag?
