[OT/]interestingly enough that in some occasions the title change may be oblivious to the op. There are many threads in the archives that are misspelled words in the title and I have had some of my own that comes out wrong even after I proofed in in a word processor prior to posting...I think there might be a glitch somewhere in the server

well, AAs are probably the most cost effective alkaline size to work with, theres very limited energy inside AAAs to play around with [~800mah versus ~1600mah]. As a
L0D-CE user I get hit with the harsh reality quite a few times already...Alkaline AAAs are basically useless when it comes to medium drain [~500ma] applications due to high internal resistance and severe voltage sag. They are more suitable in low drain apps [10-100ma] making it perfect for lights like the arcAAA or the E01. [I get 20 minutes of high on a duracell using the L0D-CE Q4, but I can get at least 12 hours from it using the E01]
In order to achieve a considerable runtime on AAAs, your either going to have to invest in L92 lithiums, which can get awfully expensive in the long run, buy some eneloops and cycle them [which is what I do: free lumens!], or refrain from using high mode unless deemed absolutely necessary.
Although the [
or teh] form factor and the associating ergonomics may be more attractive to you as an individual...I doubt Nitecore [
yes theres an i in it and no theres no o after the N] will produce a light of the sorts but its hard to say as the technological advances of more efficient LEDs continue everyday. It may be a reality someday, but for now I'm inclined to believe the limitations of the AAA may prevent such development now. I am always happy to be proven wrong though
