Re: Maratic 9290 AA Tactical Flashlight
I have one..not bad. Longer than mostly of the 1xAA lights...
Be carefoul...the combination between OP and SMO reflecor gives a beam with a smaller than expected hotspot - considering the reflector size - . For instance , the AKORAY K106 has a smoother beam.
Regulated for about 1hr - MAX - with 14500s

Quality is good but the beam profile is like he says, very small hotspot with spill that could be a little brighter.
I have the iTP version.
I use my C7 in C8 format more as I don't have good 14500's and the brightness with 2xAA makes the not so good beam pattern usable.
*add*
The specs on the suppliers site lists 6-190 lumens, this is only true with the 14500 and 2XAA voltages.
On 1.2-1.7v you will get a max of about 110. (compared to other AA lights like my LD10 in ceiling bounce)

That is very subjective, I personally like the beam shape of my Fenix L1T V2.0 and LD10 for most uses.
My C7 works well when used on objects more than 5m away.

It's the largest single AA flashlight I've got. Great beam. Super-smooth action on twisting the head for changing output. I really like the way it fits in my hand, the "fins" make it easy to change output one-handed. Mine hasn't suffered from any abuse but feels tough and like it would take a lot of punishment. Mine had a bad tail clicky out of the box.
