Good flashlights with side switch

[aksim]

I carry a Jetbeam MKII which I absolutely love. I normally carry the light in my right pocket. I am considering carrying a light in my left pocket but here is the catch. I had a machine tool accident and am missing most of my left index finger and my left middle finger is somewhat stiff. This makes it difficult for me to manipulate the Jetbeam around with just my left hand. I think that a light with a side switch or clicky would be a good fit. What lights would be the equal or better than the Jetbeam only with a side switch. I prefer a bright floody type beam. AA batteries are my preference but I would consider other battery types.

Thanks
Alan

The Photon PRO Is a great light with a very good sideswitch.
It uses AA batteries, but the beam Isn't as smooth or floody as textured reflectors.

You could try the Photon Proton which uses 5xNichia CS Leds for a very nice, even beam. It wont be as bright as the PRO(Cree), but still has plenty of brightness for everyday tasks IMO.

The UK 4-AA eLED Zoom has a thumb switch with 2 power levels. It is somewhat focusable. I like the beam.

I have a holster for it but also carry it in a parka pocket. It may or may not be a good choice for a pants pocket unless it is roomy.

Your preferences point toward the Proton Pro: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=191295

I carry this side clicky from DX. 123 battery- seoul Led. Great little light- good firm and reliable clicky. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3014

Thanks for the replies. As one more option lets add 2AA to the mix

Don't really know much about this flashlight but Romisen makes a good product & this seems to fit your requirements. I think it also comes in black.
