Looking for a cheap small AA host.

Hi All.
I'm looking to buy a flashlight from dx or kai for me to mod and put a nice driver and emitter.
I had this in mind http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1370, as it's very pocketable for an AA light, but dx does not have them in stock.

Any recommendations at around the same price and size?

thanks!!

PS: i forgot to mention, this will be a EDC pocket light so i want to keep the AA host as small as possible, otherwise i might need to go for a AAA

I had this one for a while (4 months?) before I dropped a Q5 and driver into it. Great heat sinking, it seems. Original was a good quality and very durable (many drops onto concrete before and after mod). VERY happy with the light stock and even happier with the Q5!

edit: oops sorry, did not notice the small size request! please disregard.

Thanks, but this light seems to be a bit too big for pocket keychain use. tho it looks very nice.

Ah missed the part about keychain. Pocket is no problem; I've spent many nights in the woods with this in jeans pockets, cargo pockets and jacket pockets.

May you can view our website here in China, too, I can not access the link, so I am not sure what it is, may you can find what you need, www.qualitychinagoods.com, thanks!!!

All those lights are pretty large compared with something like an Arc AA.

Hi Leon, I had a look at your website and unfortunately I did not find what I'm looking for.
howerver i would recommend you to not advertise in this way, as it's not well taken by people.

Oh, sorry, many thanks for your suggestion, as it's my first time to post here, may I need to learn much more rules here... thank you so much....My friend!!! Also DO I need to take the link off from my signature!!! Thanks again!!!

I think you can keep the link in your signature.

:welcome: Leon.

About the AA light, this or this might be a good choice.

Thanks gunner.
The first link you sent. the romisen rc-h3 is very nice and about the width I'm looking for. Unfortunately is a bit too long to be confortable in the pocket at almost 10cm. (is that a flashlight or are you just happy to see me?)

the second one, also looks ok, but the dimensions in the description are not correct (for some reason DX always put the same dimensions for flashlights in the descriptions) and the only way to properly see is when they post the picture with the caliper.
