I think you'll have to be a little more specific about what you want/need in a light. LED, incan, size, use, etc... There are a bunch of great lights you can find for $50.

Surefire G2 and a LED dropin. There will be no shortage of dropins for that light... Also you can go Incan if you want to try that later on.


EDIT: i see you want it like the LT1?... not sure then. I like my LOD and P2D.

Do you mean L1T or T1. If you mean L1T, do you mean the newer V2.0 or the Luxeon III version.

IIRC, you got a Fenix L1T Luxeon III version.

Are you looking for something else 2 mode 1 AA powered?

The newer one is 2x brighter(current gen LED vs last gen LED).

Look into the light, if it has a LED with two bond wires opposite each other, you have the Luxeon III version. If you see a tiny dome with no visible bond wires, you have the newer version.

L1T (Luxeon), 1AA battery. Original version from 2+ years ago. ~30 lumens on high.
L1T v2.0 RB80 1AA battery. ~90 lumens on high.

T1 2xCR123A batteries ~225 lumens on high.

I do not think Fenix has a LT1. Spelling?

If you have the old version of the L1T you can get the L1T v2.0 RB80 or L1D CE. The L1T low is a compromise between close in work and walking. The L1D has a low and medium as well as strobe and SOS.

For a brighter light consider a L2T v2.0 RB80 that uses 2AA batteries or the L2D CE.

For a smaller keychain light get the L0D Q4.
