My Surefire 1xAA dream light would be an E1L-AA Outdoosman with 80-100lm, and working exactly as all Outdoorsman lights. My favor is runtime over brightness, like it is in the Outdoorsman series.
Maybe. Id be fine with something like 50 minute runtime on high whatever output that equates to. Zebra does 350lm on AA and claims 50 minutes. I dont know how fast it drops off tho. But I can see it now:
Surefire releases 250 lumen AA; peeps: "but they alrdy made 300 lumäns AAA, so why is AA not brightur even tho it biggur?!"
