For what it's worth, I believe it can be put on a Microstream body, that's if you can get the 'Stream's head off without messing the body up(I did just that).
it can be, but it doesnt engage the o ring, meaning not water resistant, and its then so big that it defeats the purpose of such a small light

I see it more of a Microstream upgrade than a Maratac upgrade and in that case, it becomes smaller :nana:

Yes, as long as the extra length was minimized, it is a forward clicky, and the overall light was still *cheep*

I don't know. I already have a couple of Fenix-Streams and I like the Maratac for it's small size. So for me, I guess not.
That's what I'm aiming for. The fenixstreams don't have matching anno, and the smooth reflector on mine is soso.
The Maratac aaa has the XP-E + OP relflector. I'm sure the clicky shouldn't be more than a $10 addition, so maybe $35 at most? Even then, the only other light with similar features is the Liteflux LF2XT and that's $65-70 bucks..

Twisty lights are boring, clicky lights are more convenient, and who doesn't like ultra portable clicky lights? AAA Twisties are played out... And aside from the LF2XT, I cannot recall another AAA Clicky... that and the future 4SEVEN'S AAA flashlight.

The Maratac AAA's main advantage is it's small size which make it an ideal keychain replacement for the Fauxton. A clicky will add 1/4" to the length.
The extra length would not be a problem if you use the clip in your shirt pocket or vertically in pants pocket.

Clickie is a plus, but its small size should be of priority.
Although if it turns out to be the same length (or less) compared to a LD01, I don't mind it.

Why do I say no?
Because I want it in AA first, then we can talk about switches. :nana:

I prefer the twisty. I don't want the light any larger and it turns on in the hold I prefer for most tasks.

without. that's not to say they shouldn't make it for those who want it. i just prefer myself without.
a AAA flashlight will be a backup light always for me. for a backup i want it.
1)shortest, lightest possible
2)reliable as possible
every mm counts and a clickie would introduce more variables for failure. plus, a twisty would be more water resistant with less intrusion areas.
