Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can recommend me a light that I hadn't thought of or found yet. I'm looking for a specific 1xAA format LED light with the following:
I really love my MT10A, it ticks every box above except it is heavyish and really quite bulky for a 1xAA light. It feels just too bulky to slip in my jeans front pocket and swings around as I walk if I throw it in a cargo pants pocket.
Hopefully someone can recommend me a light that I hadn't thought of or found yet. I'm looking for a specific 1xAA format LED light with the following:
- Narrow body, preferably the head isn't huge compared to the body. I have an Nitecore MT10A which I love but the 1" head is too wide.
- lightweight, prefer below 45g w/o battery.
- Must have a deep carry clip.
- No parasitic drain (lockout not good enough, so prefer a tailswitch or twisty head)
- Prefer no accidental activations in pocket.
- At least 120Lm in High/Turbo mode, more is better
- High quality anodization, doesn't chip or scratch easily
- Reliability is important, I don't want the light to stop working after being dropped. I'm not a DIY type who can fix the light myself.
- Tail standing is nice and preferred.
- Large hotspot that blends into large spill. I prefer more flood. If you've seen the beam from the Nitecore MT10A that's perfect.
- CW or NW is ok, but no crazy cool white tints.
- Lowest mode should be 1-3Lm or less. This rules out Fenix.
- Prefer to be able to reach lowest mode from OFF. Reaching Turbo from OFF is not important to me.
- Prefer mode memory (not the kind that disappears after 3 seconds).
