Olight T15: Great AA light?

[shomie911]

I'm thinking about buying the Olight T15 (the new 2008 version), because I need a AA light.

Convince me I need this light or convince me against it and provide a counter-example (another light).

Provide any positive or negative experiences you've had with the T15 (or with other AA lights).

Pictures/beamshots are welcome. :twothumbs

Thanks.

I use a t10 with a t15 battery tube. It's my main edc light.Bright enough,cheap batteries,long runtime in low mode which is bright enough for most uses. Inexpensive too!

How's the throw? I've heard it has a pretty tight beam for a small AA light.

You should check out the NiteCore D10 (single AA light) there is a review of it here http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=202436. Of all the stuff I have read it seems great, I have an order in for one now.

The throw is awsome for such a small light. It doesn't have alot of flood
but enough for what you would generally use a pocket light for.

That's exactly what I wanted, a pocket AA thrower. I'm planning on using it primarily outdoors for distance illumination that my Streamlight Microstream and Arc P can't handle and use them for the floody, close up stuff.

Would it be possible for you to take a beamshot at about 20-50 feet, in either a backyard or a long hallway, maybe including another light for reference?

I would appreciate it. :thumbsup:
