powerfull AA

[tallgrass]

i am looking for the most powerful aa powered led light. quality is important. what do you all say?

1xAA, probably the NiteCore Defender Infinity
2xAA, probably the Fenix L2D Q5

For a single AA...

The Maxlite Extreme is tops and when one comes available... GRAB IT!

The Extreme II is running a VERY close second and there were times it seemed to have surpassed the Maxlite Extreme. I have both and compared them side by side.

Quality is tops and at $250.00 each (Extreme II), they are well worth it.


Njoy...

where do you get the nitecore?

1 AA- olight t15 q5 from fenix store beats them all especially for throw

L1D Q5 save your cash and buy Fenix products, hell for the money you will save buy you 2 o3 the some L91's

Whoa, these are pretty pricey. Are the bulbs replaceable? If so, how much do they cost and are they hard to install? Sorry for the noob questions, I am new here.

Good lights aren't cheap. Also, LED emitters (they don't use bulbs) don't burn out like incans, and don't need replaced.

Re: powerful AA

Just out of morbid curiousity are there any other AA lights similiar to these that are made in the US? (I've got one coming from a US company, a Photon Pro, but I realize it is made in China.)

I'm not panning any company for their manufacturing reality; afterall, principles don't pay the bills. However, I'd like to support US-based light companies as well as my favorite China-based ones. (I think Fenix, in particular, really listens to their customer base.)

many thanks for your suggestions

If you took to modding an Inova X1 with a Rebel or Cree, you would get a 100% US made light with awesome output, assuming you could get driver boards made in the US.

There are several things you could do with a MiniMag to get some major output, including Cree dropins, or hotwire mods.

yeah, I'd go for the Fenix too. L2D pretty hard to beat.
