Looking for a single AA

sean m · Jul 4, 2006

I am looking for a single AA light that has decent brightness(at least as bright as a stock mini mag), aluminum housing, compact size (straight tube and roughly thee dia. of a mini mag), and low cost(under $25). What is out there that meets these requirements?

Fenix L1P

JetBeam all the way! Runs on 1.2v NiMh 1.5v Alkaline/Lithium or 14500 LiIon also CR123/RCR123 battery tube available. Very Bright !!!

Fenix line is very good also! L1T

I have the L1p, its one of the best single AA lights out there but to me it seems a little over engineered. The aluminium casing is unnecessarily thick which makes the whole thing considerably larger than an AA battery. I prefer the minimalistic approach of the Arc AAA-P. (not as bright but much better runtime). I wish arc made an AA light with tail clickie and one of the more efficient non-luxeon high power LEDs.

The BEST single AA light are the Maxlite :rock:
Its not that low cost though

I think for the $, Fenix L1P or the civictor are worthwile lights.I would also look at jetbeam.I think there tint is more consistently white.The ability to use 14500 lion and have a really bright pocket light.If longer runtimes are needed,check out peak they are very well made lights.

What's your definition of decent brightness? For more info you should check out:

OR

A lot of good lights were already mentioned but there's also the Inova X1, CMG/Gerber Infinity Ultra, LRI (Photon) Proton, Advancedmart Ghost II, Civicitor V1, Nuwai X-1, and Peak Pacific with the AA body. My tip, just get them all. If you hang around these forums long enough you probably will eventually

Let me suggest the Ghost II or the Fenix L1T as additional choices.
They're very different, but both have "decent brightness" and "low cost" depending on your meaning.

ROK · Jul 4, 2006

definitely JET-I

Bozzlite · Jul 4, 2006

Fenix L1P or L1T. Excellent lights at a reasonable price.

benp1 · Jul 4, 2006

considering the L1P and L1T are similarly priced, why would one choose a 'P' over a 'T'?

Valpo Hawkeye · Jul 4, 2006

Maybe they'll start clearing out the L1P's and drop the price...

Paul6ppca · Jul 4, 2006

I would choose a fenix P over T because Ive had better luck with tint and brightness of the P series,maybe others will post here to see if i just lost the lux lottery.My l2p on a L1 body great combo.The fenix store has a sale on them for $42.

GENTOS RIGEL GTR-０３１Ｔ
http://www.chubu-plot.com/rigel/gtr031t/

It is sold in Japan.

john2551 · Jul 4, 2006

Low price would be in the $5 to $8 range. These 8 even include free shipping: http://www.qualitychinagoods.com/flashlights-1xaa-c-76_93.html

PlayboyJoeShmoe · Jul 4, 2006

Fenix L1T speaks to me with it's two level output.

But Fenix P1 has an AWESOME looking beam for my sometimes needs!

Does anyone have a Lambda LUXIII and a Fenix to give me some input?

CLHC · Jul 4, 2006

Greetings and Welcome!

There's a Vortex Vision LR5 that runs on a single rechargeable AA that's included.

Hope you find what you're looking for and Enjoy!

I'm a fan of the Fenix L1x's and particularly of the Civictor (now on sale for $29.75 - 12% shipped - check post # 97). However, if your definition of "decent" brightness is more modest, this and this 0.5 watter run about $12. plus shipping and seemed OK.

China Quality Goods also has a 3W 1AA Ultrafire 602 for under $20

nerdgineer's link to the fenix & divictor sale is wrong. Try this to get the discount codes:
