Interested in getting an led flashlight

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Hi, I am new, thanks for the forum.

I have been looking for a light and saw PLW and eternalight products. I have no clue on which is better. I would like smaller size and use aa batteries, any amount. Probably want a 1 battery one to carry and a multi for home.

I prefer a button to turn on but thats not in stone. Some look junky some cost too much for me right now. The eternalight is neat but are all those frills worth it.

any pointing in the right direction appreciated.

RC - go to one of the review sites - namely Craigs LEDMUSEUM, Chris´s site, Brock´s site, Quickbeam´s site - bunch of reviews there. They are all members here and their sites URL are in their respective SIGs.

But to make it easy - if you want the best go to ARCflashlight - the ARC AAA and ARC LS will probably fit your bill perfectly right.

Ups and yes - wellcome !

For one battery carry light, the arc will be the overwhelming recommendation, although it's triple A, not double A.

The Arc-AAA is without a doubt the best single LED light on the market. It uses inexpensive AAA batteries, and gives 5 to 6 hours of full bright light, before it switches to a low level light. It is current/voltage regulated.

The Eternalight is my favorite smaller, multi LED flashlight. I agree about all of the extra 'special effects' modes, but the 9 different levels of brightness are nice. They run on regular AA batteries (3 of them) and give very good full power burn time: 40 to 50 hours on the highest brightness setting, and up to 700 hours on the lowest setting. I like them enough to own 4 of them.
