Romisen RC-A5

[smrtprts]

Does anyone have any experience with this light? It is exactly what I'm looking for. Defender tip, 1xAA, OK size for EDC, 180 lumens, Q5, 3 modes, OK run time and a good price. Unfortunately I have not seen anyone talk about it before.

If not, are there any similar to it? I have not seen any. Recommend anything better?

Have not seen that one. But I will say "for the most part", lights that are set up to run at 4.2V, will do poorly at 1.2V. I have several dedicated 1AA lights that do very well. This could be a good one though. If you do get it, please review.

There are some user experiences here. Not as bright as they were hoping:

Thanks for the replies. I just really want a single AA with a defender tip. Looking at A10's and K-106's. Maybe e01? Suggestions?

Ordered mine 1 month ago, still not shipped. Also ordered this one, very similar to RC-A5, except TIR optic. Unfortunately, this one is in the same order as RC-A5. Looks good.

What type of batteries would be good to use with an A10? they say 1.2V/1.5V AA battery. I have some 1.25 and 1.5V rechargeable NiMh. 2700mah. Would these be OK?

Ultrafire A10? Yes, it will be fine with NiMH. It is a nice light and I use mine every day. It is brighter than the (3-mode) K-106 with NiMH.

Ok thanks. About how long of a runtime do you get?

I didn't try, but I would guess around one hour with an Eneloop 2000 mAh.
