Shortest AAA light?

@Dark_Hater
I'm an admitted visible spectrum chromatic dummy, so I'm easily impressed by a little info. I've found some of the info at these 2 sites to be somewhat informative, interesting, and a bit entertaining. You might want to wander around here too some time when you have a few minutes to kill.

I like this because it features my favorite demo room CT reference photo showing sources across a range of CTs. It's simple, but I've found I can quickly bring that up and stare/compare w/ a flashlight on a white wall and approximate the CT pretty closely at a glance.

This site has several interesting things too, including several interactive tools where one can vary both CT and CRI independently and observe the combined effects on a test photo / image, or select different parameters and observe their effect on spectrum analysis, etc. Just thought you might find the site fun for a few minutes:

Awesome, I’ll check it out. I’ve been on that site some. Mostly to use the duv calculator.

Semi unrelated. Still on the fence about how accurate CCT and duv data I really need in regards to purchasing the Opple or just continuing to use the app on my phone.

Four sevens Atom AO just over 2" no longer “out there” as such.

Yes, Preon P0 in stainless steel. They're about 56mm, similar to the DQG AAA. The early ones used to eat o-rings but they revised the design to stop that.

I don't think anyone made an AAA light shorter than these, but sadly both no longer made.

E3A, DQG, P0-SS

That kinda made them all look big, so the DQG next to new lights

The Reylight is Ti, but the DQG, Preon PO, and Fenix Silvglow are all Stainless Steel.

thanks for the great size comparison.. the single mode AAA Skilhunt E3A is the same size as the single mode AAA Olight i3e (which Im having fun modding):

I love the form-factor of the old Preon P0, and I still have a few in both stainless and titanium (including a CPF anniversary model in titanium).
But the ultra-wide mule beam is not ideal for most uses. I like them and use them for night-lights, because on low they are in that sub-lumen range I crave. With one placed near the porcelain, you can make a midnight visit and never lose your dark-adaptation.
So that's good. But it's not good for a general purpose light.
The E3A looks fun, but why oh why is it one mode only, and that at 100 lumens?
Sigh... Why won't giant corporations design their products for exactly my own idiosyncratic preferences that no other consumers share?

I remember the first DQG tiny, never should have sold mine; it also had an optional 2/3AAA battery case.
