Bought a twisty Maratac AAA Extreme, does anybody make an aftermarket twisty tailcap?

Just bought a Maratac AAA Extreme for my suit pocket at work. Bought it thinking it was twisty. They are now twisty. The OEM clickys were draining batteries. Does anybody make an after market clicky?

The Fenix LD01 body fits and works. Many AAA lights are threaded similarly, but the threads do not reach far enough. I have the same issue with my Extreme. The thing is that apparently this light uses an electronic "off" that consumes WAY too much standby current. It was depleting my L92's in a matter of a couple of days. The annoying thing is because of the electronic "off", the first twist of the light with the Fenix body is Off, then twist again for Hi and again for Low. It's a lose-lose senario...

So even with the twisty my batteries are gonna drain?

 

[DFiorentino]

Yes. Unless you lockout the light by unscrewing the body/head; which you could do with the existing body. I do not use my Extreme because of this annoyance/flaw.
