I have an L2P that is a couple of years old and is one foot in the grave. When I turn it on, it will stay lit for only about 2 seconds. To turn it on again, I have to remove the tail cap and replace it, and the same thing happens. It will sometimes run at very low level for a few more seconds, but usually just blinks out. New batteries so that's not it.
I would like a similar replacement. Main requirements are:
a. 2 AA and equal length to L2P (or close)
b. recessed tail switch. Ideally carried lens-down with a flap on the holster so I don't want it to come on accidentally. Forward or reverse clickie unimportant.
c. simple on/off is fine. I don't need SOS or strobe or infinite brightness.
d. uniform body diameter. I carry this in a night eyes holster with some other items and a body that is the same diameter makes this very easy since the whole light fits into the holster.
e. similar brightness. I don't need a night burner since this is mainly used indoors and for parts inspections.
Any ideas? So far I've looked at
a. Engergizer e2 Lithium. It has multiple brightness but looks pretty close otherwise.
b. Fenix E20. May be too thick at head and tail.
c. Gerber Tritac. May also be too thick at head and tail and I wasn't sure if it is using 5mm LEDs or three power LEDs.
