Need a single AA size light with the following;

What I am after is a single cell AA size light with the following features;

1 Must have Cree LED.
2 Commercial brand, no customs.
3 Takes both 14500 3.7V as well as standard AA battery.
4 Has high lumen output and good run times.
5 Has a clickie switch with the first click to maximum output.
6 Multi levels would be nice but not necessary.

Because there are so many brands out there, any suggestions would be welcome, thanks.

The only one I can think of right now is the fenix l1d ce, but that's not even out yet . Perhaps wait a bit and see what's to come?

Give mine a twisty head but otherwise quite similar!

New JETbeam CL-E AA

Doesn't take 14500's though.


CFU

Neither the L1D or the C-LE can start up in "Hi" mode first. I'd say you're out of luck, sorry. The light that best fits your specifications is the L1D which will come out soon

1 Must have Cree LED. (Both)

2 Commercial brand, no customs. (Both)

3 Takes both 14500 3.7V as well as standard AA battery. (Dunno if L1D does but CFU said the C-LE doesn't.)

4 Has high lumen output and good run times. (Both)

5 Has a clickie switch with the first click to maximum output. (Neither, but L1D has at least a clicky)

6 Multi levels would be nice but not necessary. (Both)

"Neither the L1D or the C-LE can start up in "Hi" mode first."

The L1D-CE in Turbo mode will start up in High then Strobe. Perfect for tactical situations.

Tis a pity that none of these lights work like my HDS Basic 60 LE......

How does one see or acquire a Jetbeam?

All I could find in a quick search had clickies. Or was this meant for the OP?

Good point. I'm not clear on turbo mode, if that is onboard the light, available with only a little twist, or if it's a separate light altogether. I don't think that has been clarified yet. But yes, you are right LightScene, I missed that completely, thanks for catching it.
