How would you spend $25-30?

[huja]

. . . on 2xAA light(s)?

Choice A: Buy a Romisen RC-N3 II and be done with it.

Choice B: Buy two Nite Ize LED upgrade kits for 2 of my old MiniMag 2xAAs.

Choice C: Buy a TerraLux TLE-5EX upgrade kit for 1 of my old MiniMag 2xAAs.

E. Save until it reproduces into a little family of three $20's ($60) and buy a good light to start with.

 

[strinq]

Movie for 2 and some popcorn...

I'D go with E too.

 

[nfetterly]

Buy Moddo's Ti tailstand extension for Z59 (sorry - I don't like 2xAA lights & I'm just answering the Title) :cool:

 

[sigsour]

Yea, what Marduke said....he is usually right anyways.

 

[alpg88]

1 Nite Ize LED upgrade kit, plus iq switch.

some reviews say iq switch drops output compared to regular tail, but in my experience if it does it is so little i can't tell a difference.

Plan E sounds great

 

[Zeruel]

F. Wait for a cheap sale on Fenix L2D. :popcorn:

 

[NonSenCe]

where were we.. is this option g then?

1 drop-in niteize.
1 romisen g2 1AA led.

then the following options to consider:

or maybe akoray k-106.
or maybe a new maglite 2AA (multimode) LED flashlight.

*not to take anything away from n3. as far as i have toyed with it for few days now.. i think its good light to have. i have the upgraded 2 mode version from shiningbeam.. but the 10$ cheaper dx version should be allright too.. especially for tight budget. that way you could almost get the niteize drop in too. :)

**best option. pick one. see how you like it and save some money for couple weeks/months to get another or better one.

 

[csshih]

plan A.

 

[LightWalker]

Akoray K-106

 

[Marduke]

Akoray K-106

1) that's 1xAA, not 2xAA
2) it doesn't work well on AA's, it really needs 14500's

E. Save until it reproduces into a little family of three $20's ($60) and buy a good light to start with.

+1, how about two shares of TAO for ~$33 or so?

 

[Outdoors Fanatic]

I'd buy a new pair of AW batteries.

:oops: I missed the 2xAA part.

 

[old4570]

Sorry / $30USD = Solarforce L2 , in fact I just coughed up $29USD for my 9th L2 just a moment ago :candle: Yeah , Im nuts for L2's , but it will have the new low voltage pill . Well thats my excuse !

Pictured my DIY version of a 2xAA Solarforce L2 ,

Add $15 more and get the Nitecore D20 at cpfmp.

 

[kramer5150]

RC-N3-Q5

 

[hyperloop]

i'm just going to answer the OP, i'd go for the Romisen RC N3 II (which i already own) great light for the price.
