...Secretary at work who said "Cool! Is that for me?"

She understands how much 123s cost, but LOVES the amount of light.

So what can I get her say 2AA that will make her say "Thanks!"

I think I'll go troll DX "AA"......

DX - 2AA? Ultrafire C3 1 x AA, single mode with 2 x AA extension tube for $18.98. Bright enough. This is my first and still one of my favourites. Currently running in 1 x AA with 14500.

Uh, Er.....

It's not like that dudes! I don't WANT any of that!

I just want to get a cheap light because I am not "made of money".

I looked pretty hard at RC-N3. C3 w/extension and others. All have one nit or another. Maybe not deal breakers but stuff like switches.

I want user recommendations.

The RC-N3 has the much coveted forward clickie.

The only issue I have with it is that you need to put o-rings around the AA cell in the tube closest to the LED, since that part of the tube can also accept CR123 cells.

I don't recommend a light that i do not own and if i do, i make it clear that i have not had the opportunity to test the light. The Ultrafire C3 was my first foray into LEDs and to this day i do not regret it and it's still one of my EDC lights.

1 x AA, bright. 1 x 14500, way bright. Comments i received in the flashlight wasteland where i live (Singapore) range from "why do you carry a flashlight?" to "DAMN! that's bright! How come its so bright but so small?" to " Where can i get that?"

With the 2 x AA tube, output is less but runtime is increased it gives flexibility in use at a very decent price. Non flashaholics do not want to spend much initially, that was how i viewed it, but now, $76 for a light? Wow, THAT's cheap!

I strongly endorse the Ultrafire C3 as a starter light, since its a single mode, whether its a forward or reverse clicky is not really relevant, especially with a non flashaholic, telling them "tactical on" is gonna lead to "huh?", get them the C3, let them play with it for a while THEN open the door to the world of flashlights and lead them in
