What's your favorite 1xAA LED light?

Another vote for the Dereelight C2H with AA extender. Both my wife and I have one (she has a XR-E (either Q5 or R2, can't remember) and I have an XP-G R5). I love the versatility of AA, NiMH, 14500, 123, or R123. Bright on any of them, looks great, and feels nice in the hand.

For ones I don't have, I like the following:
Jetbeam BK135 (really digging this one)
D10 or D11
ITP C9T

+1 on the JB BK135A. I like the UI and the fact that it turns on in high-mode first, then medium, then low. Perfect sequence for my taste.
 
Nitecore EZ AA

(Just to be clear . . . The one with the old U.I. consisting of twist to switch on in low mode. Then, keep twisting to get to high mode.)
 
I just bought my first AA light to EDC. I got the streamlight pt 1aa, and so far I really like it. Its seems to be just the right size and puts out enough light for me.

However I am looking to get the quark AA very soon.
 
I think I'll have to update this thread, too, with the same answer, a Zebralight SC50w+. The old Proton Pro is now a very close second.

After several months of routine daily carry in a pocket...I'm still a big fan of the JetBeam E3S. Great with AA batts but crazy bright with a 14500.
 
The Xeno Cube...

1 more vote for the Lumapower Trust - 1 stuffed with a 14500 and flooding 230 (ish) lumens.
and of course the Zebralight SC 51... speaks for itself.
 
Sorry for the multiple posts. My connection keeps hanging so I made the mistake of hitting submit too many times.
 
I keep reaching for my Quark AA Tactical with 14500. I find I like using it with the clip removed in most circumstances since it makes handling it so comfortable. It's not the most refined or powerful light I own but over time it's become an everyday workhorse.

Got my eye on a Zebralight SC51 so I'll have to check back in with this thread after I've had it awhile. (I've heard some complaints that it has a tendency to turn on in your pocket unexpectedly if you don't unscrew the tail cap but I don't know yet if that is a real issue.)
 
Hmmmn, not sure what's happening here. Page says, "waiting for Candle Power Forums" and won't load even though it apparently did. Again, sorry for accidental multiple posts.
 
To me, would be NITECORE DI

BUT, if there's a choice of R5-6C, I would be delighted

BTW, why can not I log use my old account? wrong password?
