Warm Single AA Offerings

[pobox1475]

I decided to give my oldest son a LumaPower ConneXion (gen I) that has been idle since I got a NEX and couple of Quarks. Tossing the idea around in my head about getting a light to utilize AW 14500's that will be idle as well. I am truly stuck on the warmer tints and is really my only requirement idea wise. The new acquisition will most likely be utilized as a bag light or possibly EDC'd so a sturdy clip would be a +. Thought about a AA Zebra and will still will get one at some point. Just intend to use Eneloops in it as I have heard that Li-Ions are no big advantage in ZL's.

There are neutral white Quark AAs. Currently out of stock at 4sevens though.

But the much better Quark AA neutral tactical is in stock:

You could purchase new (neutral quark, Nitecore EZAAw, maybe Eagletac) or you could get a modded one or perhaps mod one yourself.

I've modded these 1AA to warm cree:

Connexion X2
Nitecore D10
Fenix L1D (LD10 was pretty heavily glued)
Proton Pro
Romisen RC-G2

All were reasonably easy, though the Proton pro was not fun and the Fenix was a bit more of a pain.

I purchased a Jetbeam E3P (neutral tint) for a buddy as a wedding gift and he loves it. He carries it everyday. The only down side is that it doesn't have a clip. It is all stainless so its pretty hefty

The JetBeam Jet 1 Pro uses one AA, and can be had in warm tint. Also has a bi-directional clip, so it may well fulfill your requirements....

Have been considering the Element 3P and Jet I IBS. Element seems like it would be a good bag light. But not being rated for 3.7v 14500's is not good. Jet I seems more versatile and appears to have a sturdy clip configured for bezel down carry which I prefer. I you have any more ideas, keep them coming. Thanks for all the input thus far :twothumbs.

My favorite warm AA is the Nitecore EZAA W. Oddly, it has a tighter beam that my warm Quark.

What tints are available for JetBeam Jet 1 Pro?

When I was looking for a warm AA light a while back, it didn't show up on my list.

If you can live with a single mode, Shiningbeam is now offering the Rominsen RC-G2 II with a warm white emitter. It's a Cree XR-E Q3-5C to be specific. I can't offer an absolute recommendation as mine is in the mail. I have purchased and tested several of the RC-G2 II with Q5's from Bryan and found them to be quite bright and reliable though. With the Rominsen RC-G2 II being what it is I didn't hesitate ordering it with a warm white emitter. The price is right too, IMHO. Wait a minute on/off is really two modes isn't it?

Mine came with a Q3-5A when I received it last week. I'm completely satisfied with the warmer tint myself.

If I had known the JetBeam was available with a 5A tint, I might have purchased that instead of my Quark AAw. I love the Quark, though, so it's probably best that it worked out this way.

Side by side, I prefer the 5C tint to the 5A tint, but in regular use, I can't tell the difference.

In my mind I have selected the 5b. From the comparison pics I have seen it appears ideal. I would however go with the a over the c.

IMHO you made a wise choice. Both mt Quarks are outstanding from what I have seen.

Can anyone post a pic of a Jet I Pro next to a Quark 123(2)?

Only two tints I know of - warm and normal/regular. I got mine from a website called "bugoutgearusa", or something similar to that. I seem to remember that they offer either tint.

I like mine a lot. If for some reason I could only keep one of my flashlights, the Jet-1 Pro would be the one.....

I see it now. Options are "R2 - Cool Tint" and "Q3 5A - Warm Tint".

If I had known that, I probably would have purchased the JetBeam instead of the Quark. I'm really happy with the Quark, but was a bit nervous at the time about buying a new model from a new maker with no known track record.
