smallest, lightest 14500 light?

[notsobrite]

i need this light! here's my wishlist:

smallest, lightest, more flood than throw, 2 modes- high of 100+ lumens and low of around 30-, uses 14500 batteries for long runtime, twisty or clicky, $50 or less, must be able to attach a lanyard for neck wear, quality knurling because i drop stuff:duh2:, and must be RELIABLE. i have searched and read the recent aa and aaa threads but didn't find anything that matched my little dream light.

Your description implies you want a high quality light, but your budget will likely be insufficient.

Nitecore Defenfer Infinity would seem to meet most of your requirements, barring price.

Actualy 4Sevens has their garage sale in the market place and has generation 1 Nitecore Defender Infinities for $50. It does seem to fit most of your wish list.

check out iTP (c7 or c8 I think), same head attachs to various body types (including rcr123), this also means you can pop a 14500 in a AA holder and not fry the head.

sounds exactly like a lumapower connexion X2

3 modes: 5, 25, 120 lumens
you can switch out the pocket clip and add the lanyard ring
type III HA
more flood
uses NiMH, alkaline, lithium, or 14500's
$50 new - i just saw one selling on cpfmarketplace for $36 like new

nevermind strike this, no 14500
I dont have any personal experience but seems like the EZAA, Might just work.
$52

Size: 83.0 x 16.6 mm (3.27 x 0.65 in)
Weight: 20g (0.7 oz)

That doesn't take a 14500. If you stick that in, the LED will go

Oops my mistake, I never really looked at it that much, I dont like twistys.

thanks for the suggestion- i missed the one on cpf but i hate pulling the trigger before i thoroughly investigate purchases, anyway. now i'm re-reading the best aa posts before i choose. i thought i saw a post about some x2's not being reliable?
