Lightest, most powerful AA focussing flashight?

[jacoddington]

I assume it is probably the minimag pro. Any others? Would be great if they came with a fiber optic accessoy to focus the light.
Thanks

minimag pro only has 226 lumens, there are more powerful lights out there if you mean lumens-wise.
i'm currently trying to choose between aa flashlights myself.

Zoomable flashlights are not good lights. There are lots of awesome AA lights non of them are maglights. Look at the zebralight sc52, Eagletac d25a, and the olight s15 baton. Any of those will blow away any maglight. A light with a good beam won't need to be focused.

Do you mean the Nite Ize Fiber Optic Adapters for Mini Maglites?

I wanted a cheap bright light AA form factor and found the XENO E03 for $26. 430 OTF lumens and its quite well made. Check out Selfbuilts review of it.
If you go to CR123 the Lumintop ED11 is 560 lumen max and its inexpensive.

I collect cheap lights (or really expensive but nothing in the middle!) but have certain standards and those focussing lights are no good. Get one for $7 to try but the lens is plastic,beam quality bad and the advertised lumen counts are not true at all.
There are some nice steel lights some with ACME threads and decent emitters and reflectors for under $15-25 and many are AA.
