hello help me chooe a single AA flashlight

[raggie33]

i dont care how it looks im happy with just a alumium flashlight. i do care about it being very small and bright id also like moonlite mod

How bright do you mean by bright?

How small is very small?

Maybe the Utorch UT01? I've used one of these for about 2 years.

Wuben E05? I just got this one a couple weeks ago. I've only used it with the included 14500 battery. It replaced the UT01 in my back pocket, even though I prefer the UI of the UT01 and the Zebralight SC52W over the UI of the Wuben E05.

Zebralight SC52W. The Utorch replaced this light in my pocket, just because the UT01 has a bit brighter high when using an NiMh AA for fuel.

The Wuben E05 definitely has a bright Turbo, though it won't maintain it's brightest output for long.

It has a very good clip and a good tail magnet and the side switch is stiff enough that it shouldn't be easy to accidentally activate.

You should enjoy it.

Another nice AA cell light is the Lumintop AA 2.0. It is dual fuel AA/14500. I have one and it is really nice.

I like my Nitecore EA11 or MT10A. Need to use 14500 with the 900 lumen output, but the light is fantastic.

EagleTac D25A Clicky is my favorite recommendation and is available with Nichia 219C.

You won't get 700 lumens from a single AA light, unless you're counting 14500 lithium-ion cells as a "AA".

The Zebralight SC5 is the closest you'll get. 500 lumens on a AA NiMH Eneloop, and it's just barely over 3 inches long.

Yes, I EDC one every day. For the money check out the THRUNIGHT T-10 CW or NW it REALLY ROCKS on a 14500!

do you all have a recommendation for a 14500 cell that will fit the wubon eo5? i want one that fits a course

I think that it comes with a cell, doesn't it?

Are you wanting to have extras?

 

[AB8XL]

I'd recommend the EagleTac 14500 protected batteries, there usually right at 51mm in length, I have many Olight and Nitecore protected batteries and they are all just a bit to long for my lights that accept 14500 cells. The only place I have found them available is at illuminationgear.com

yeah it had one but my ocd tells me i need more lol

Why OCD?
Just practical.
What if you still need light when your battery dies?

Yep. I don't have any spare 14500 cells. If the one in my Wuben E05 dies, I'll have to use NiMh or lithium primaries until I order more. I don't have any other lights that I want to use 14500s in.

I really like the EagleTac D25A for AA as well. It is a goood quality light that is the smallest AA I am aware of with good mode selections. It will not give you 700 lumen, although I don't think you will find any AA with that many unless using a 14550.

D3a or D25a MKII. They are both the same, just different aesthetics. 400 lumens with an AA and about 800 lumens with a 14500. It's so thin and compact you don't even feel it in the pocket. It's not cheap, but it is high quality.

The newer D3A and D25A MKII have the newest AC750 driver with a nice low low mode, I'm enjoying mine.

Why are you using the LED lumens for comparison with other lights, rather than out the front lumens, which are much lower?
