Single-cell AAA flashlight poll

Of the single-cell AAA flashlights listed, which is your favorite?

Tough poll. If price is no consideration, I'd take the MJP Extreme III.

Out of the listed lights I have a L0D, a L0D CE, a L0D Rebel80, an Avenger, an LF2, a Solitaire and a Tiablo A1. I voted for LiteFlux LF2.

tough, but if i had to pick one to stick with..LOD

Yep, L0D-CE. And that is based on just the P4 edition. The Q4 on the way should impress even more.

I wonder how long it will take for the Mag Solitaire to get its first vote?

Arc AAA for me

I own a Solitaire, and no other AAA yet...

It seems we have a tie, each a winner in it's own distinct category.

I voted for the L0D, as the L0P is my favorite and its closest.

Arc AAA for me. I love Arc's simple,rugged design.

The Arc wins for aesthetics and durability. It works on the pleasure center in your brain.

L0D Q4 for everything else.

I am not a big fan of AAAs for carry, but love to play with my Solitaire SMJLED powered by an AW 10440 thru a 10 Ohm 1/4W resistor I built into the the stock tail cap. It is useful for up close work.

Next I am planning on a Sol cutdown for a 10180 running at 2C into a 1W LED.

I am a little po' at the moment so I am mostly using parts I have in inventory.

Peak Matterhorn 3 LED running on a lithium here. I've had it a couple of years on my key ring and it's my backup to my EDC. Always works when I need it.

I had to vote Solitaire because The Admiral has 1 in her purse and I have 1 in my camera box. And with both of us now fully retired and living on a very fixed income, toy money is not very plentiful. So, I'll save up a bit and then see what may be available. I just don't have quite that much use for 1XAAA lights though. 2 or 3 XAA is more what I look for.

I had written off 1XAAA lights myself until I got the LOD CE.Now I have the
LOD CE,Lumapower Avenger and Tiablo A1.All of these lights are bright and produce more light than any 2XAAA that I am aware of.If you can save enough for one you may be surprised.My wife loves her Tiablo A1 and refers to it as her "good" light even though she has a number of other quality lights that I have given her.

I didn't vote in the poll because I couldn't choose between the three lights I mentioned.All three are different and have their own merits.Depending on my needs I have at least one of the three with me every day.Honestly, I never thought a single AAA light would be as usefull as these three are.

L0D CE Q4

Arc AAA. It's the only light I have with me at all times. It might be time I upgrade from BS to DS though.

Would anyone consider the (discontinued) Fenix E0? 11 hours of flat runtime on alkaline (I think it is) seems pretty amazing...

For sure the Arc is rugged simplicity but I had to vote LOD. I know have four of them all with different emitters. The P4 of course is quite the little marvel.

Now....give us an R2 please Fenix.. :naughty:

I considered putting the E0 in the poll, but I wanted this poll to be something people could reference when getting a new AAA flashlight. By seeing what most CPF'ers like best, you can rest assured that the most popular lights are really good lights. Since the E0 is discontinued and will be harder to find in the future, I decided it would not be a good addition to the list even though it may be a great flashlight for some.
