Missing light - Cree 2xAAA?

[thiswayup]

I can't find anything like this, but wouldn't it be really nice? About the width of a Maglite Solitaire, but without the bulky head. Pen clip as standard. Lots of runtime, decently bright, and easy to carry in a pocket, and much harder to lose than a single AAA. Ideally with the ability to use AAA format lithiums, whatever they are called. But it doesn't seem to exist!

Like a fatter streamlight stylus with a lens?
Sounds nice enough

I have always wished Fenix made a second battery tube for the L0P, would definitly pick one up with another L0P or L0D.

Maybe Tiablo can make a 2xAAA tube for this upcoming light:

I think one with a clicky like the Streamlights would be easier to use.

It's not a Cree and certainly not screaming bright, but the relatively new Streamlight Stylus Pro is headed in that direction at least. It's a huge improvement over a standard penlight and could possibly be modded, although I think a Rebel would be a better choice due to the size. The head on mine appeared to be glued, but that hasn't stopped too many CPF'ers in the past. It's a great light and someone making an even brighter version would be useful I agree.

Well there is one at DX, the Mini Cree AAA with 2AAA extension but expect average quality.

IIRC, there was also a 2AAA L0D-CE mod.

This got me wondering if Peak would custom build a Baltic with a Cree. I have heard that you can send them a LED of your choice. They have now built seoul based lights so it might not be impossible.

The Fujiyama with a Rebel or Cree would be nice.

This seems like a no-brainer idea for Fenix to pick up on. They can sell the cheapest part of the flashlight at a nice profit.

Maybe PEU and 4sevens could work some more magic. Probably won't sell anywhere close to as much as P3D tactical bodies...but who knows?

The design misses the point though - it flares out instead of keeping constant, minimum, radius.

That's exactly what I imagined. With 2 or 3 modes would be nice - it's useful to have a really low low on a stylus light for reading.

+1

I bought my Stylus Pro (2 AAA) about a month ago, and I agree that it is a big step in the right direction for a 2 AAA penlight.

Much brighter, and whiter than the regular Stylus, and a very smooth, even beam.

And with a tail clicky with momentary on, plus a bezel down pocket clip.

Mine rides in my shirt pocket everynight.

+1 on the Stylus Pro.

I just got one yesterday it replaced the Rock River 2xAAA in my lab coat pocket.

What type of emitter is in these? It is VERY small. I agree this light is screaming for a Rebel

You can get a Peak Pacific or Baltic 2aaa setup with a Seoul which will be about equal to a Cree in most respects.
