3W AA Twisty?

flashlightguy · Aug 25, 2006

Does anyone make a 3W 1-AA twisty that is small (no tailswitch)? I'd like something that I can run LiIons in, but will run on NiMH as well. I have a modded 1W Dorcy 1-AAA that works pretty well, but I'd like something brighter. Runtimes aren't that big of a deal since I have my ARC AAA with me as well for backup.

Is there a twisty body for the L1T? That's what I'd like, but I think it's too long.

Thanks

Try the Civictor. It's a 1W, but output is the same as the L1T on high. Runtimes are decent too, and nice twisty action.

umm... the L1T with the switch on the "ON" postion.
twist the tailcap to switch on or off.
there, a twisty 3w

note that when ran on an AA nimh or alkaline, it is about the same brightness at a L1P.
run it on protected 14500 li ion and it will run at full power! around 1.5 to 1.8 times more output

The reason for the twisty is the shorter and possibly narrower profile. I plan on getting the full 55 lumens with the 14500 :grin2:

, but the L1T seems a little too long for what I want. I'm really wishing I had a lathe. :ironic:

The Nano from AWR. It only runs on Li-ion though. But it is three brightness levels, super bright on high. In fact you will not find a brighter AAA light. So bright on high that it gets too hot to touch if run too long.

Long thread but to me it was well worth the one year wait. Now the wait shoudl be shorter.
