Any of Kai's or DX's Cree/SSC lights have momentary clickies???

[dbhn]

Any help will be appreciated. Looking to replace a couple of nightstand lights but want them to have momentary clicky and be bright and affordable. They don't leave the drawer much.
Thanks.

I had a couple of LED/butane torches arrive from KD today (also sold by DX) and they have momentary buttons for the LED part. Very affordable, and run off button cells. You might want something a bit more upmarket though. What sort of budget are you thinking of?

Ideally a 2x123 Cree. Super bright. They are mostly in the $20 range.

I'm not such a fan of those cells - way too expensive down here. But I think it would be good to have low and high settings. Low so you don't dazzle yourself in the middle of the night when you have dark-adjusted vision, and of course high so you could dazzle someone else if you so wanted.

Not an Led...but this Surefire G2 Nitrolon has a very smooth momentary and would make a great nightstand light..if you want to blind somebody! Listed as 65 Lumens, but matches any other 100 plus lumen light. $36...great light- very light and indestructable.

Thanks.
I've got Brinkmann Maxfires on this duty now. Pretty much the same as the G2. Like them but would like to update with LEDs. Maybe drop ins for the Maxfires would work. Are there any?

Maxfire switches can not always handle high power LED modules. I melted one with a highly driven 3W Luxeon drop-in. The switch internal plastic parts literally melted. The Brinkmann is OK for what it does stock, but it is not as tolerant of mods as the G2 or even better 6P (for aluminum mass for heat sinking and better fit of modules). I got a G2 to replace my burnt up Brinkmann Maxfire LX since I wanted it as a reliable in-car emergency/back-up light. It is a great value for that.

This light is momentary:

MX Power 7 Watts LED Flashlight

It is a twisty on/off with a momentary springy button--no clicky. You can swap out the star to a SSC Z-Power LED (U-bin) for a VERY Bright light.

It makes a very bright nightstand light w/momentary for about $27 total.
