The best for me for the last 2.5 years of EDC is the Cu Maratac.
It bumped a Cu Worm, a Ti3, Fenix E01, Fenix E05, Prometheus Beta Cu, and an L08, … out of my coin pocket
My top 3 AAA picks:
#1
Copper Maratac w Nichia.
Benefits
Noble Metal, Anti Bacterial, NoPWM, High CRI
#2
Copper Tool w Nichia
Same benefits as Maratac, though Tool has shorter runtime on high
#3
Honorable Low CRI Lightweight
oLight i3s
Benefits
Light weight, very useful 0.5 lumen level, NoPWM
I seldom use High mode in my AAA lights, if I want ~100 lumens for more than a few seconds, I use a 16340 light.
I carry a spare eneloop in my pack, my AAA light goes noticeably dimmer than medium, which is the mode I use most, long before it shuts off completely. When I need brighter for longer, I switch to a 16340 light.
For my midnight porcelain light, I like a sublumen level and warm color. I like my oLight i3s on the nightstand, with a 3000k N219 LED
