Like many, I am in search of the most fitting EDC light for me. What I am looking for is a pocket light (smallest possible), decent output (30 or so lumens), decent runtime on basic AA or AAA battery, one stage is preferred but would consider two stage if it meant a lot to runtime, WITH a tailcap pushbutton on/off.
Looking for the one light that gets tossed in the pocket most days and doesn't cost much to run. One hand, push button operation is very important. Many exist with twist switches but not many with push buttons.
A reasonable price is important too. Say $50 tops.
The Fenix L1t or L1s is the best I can find. And I've searched and searched. Are there any similar lights that are a bit smaller. 3+" is little big for my EDC pocket light.
I now carry a couple of different CR2 lights which are great but runtime sucks and they are tough operating with one hand.
1. push button. 2. smaaaallll. 3. good runtime. 4. everyday AA or AAA battery. 4. Decent output considering the other specs.
If my AA or AAA requirement is too narrow I will have to consider Lithiums but was hoping to get one fitting light that didn't take lithiums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
