I was thinking growing addictions. I was gifted the Beta QR V1 for Christmas 2015 and accumulated the rest since then. I have bigger lights, but the AAA ones get the most pocket time for the inherit size advantage they have over other cells (in terms of taking up pocket space in dress pants). Unfortunately non of these lights have checked off all the boxes of what I am looking for. The High CRI Peak Eigers come the closest with their continuously variable output and ability to take standard AAA or 10440s, I just don't think it's a particularly good looking light. Unfortunately I missed the boat on the CU Reylight, the LMH 219 head married to the Maratac body like I have seen on this site is really appealing to me. Until I find an equivalent I expect to continue to accumulate. Similar story with the Barlows and certain TC varieties.

For a while most of my collecting was CR2 or 10180, 10280, etc., lights. But there are so many AAA lights out there, and it continues to be an an active category with manufacturers, customizers, and popular with consumers, and AAA batteries being so readily available, that I got into those too, and I now have more AAA flashlights than any other size. You know how it goes with this hobby. If it's out there we'll collect it. 🙂

Love the look of that Univex with the full-length knurling and clicky. That's a first time seeing one. All of these look like perfect for my pocket. Now I've got more ideas swirling. Thanks for sharing!

The UI. Look up the manual for a description of how it works. It will seem really complicated at first, but not so much once you wrap your head around it.
 
Thanks, Ven. I notice the photo is a bit blurry. I'm shooting this in our basement under fluorescent lights and I think the glare makes it hard for the iPhone camera to get a good fix. I'll see if I can take a better one.
