Best AA Flashlight Under 15 Bucks

Liquidspaceman · Mar 13, 2009

This is just an opinion thread, not a shoppers guide.

So which AA flashlight would you take for under 15 bucks?

Mini-Maglite? Romisen? Ultrafire? A Garrity from Walmart? A River Rock from Target?

What AA cheapo China light gives the best bang for 10 to 15 bucks?

The answer cannot be "I'd save that 15 bucks and buy a better flashlight." That's just a copout.

Edit: Duplicate cheap light thread closed

I like my Romisen RC-G2 Q5, though it is a little more than $15, but the P2 version from DX is only $11. I have also bought about 5 of these to give away as presents for family members.

Quite a few like the Fenix E01, even though it is a AAA light, I think it is an appropriate suggestion in this category. I have not yet ordered one, but I hope to remedy that soon.

I'd borrow 7 more bucks and buy a better flashlight.

The best I own under $15 is a Romisen RC-G2.

Fenix E01 for <$15
Ultrafire C3 isn't bad for $10.73

1xAA: RC-G2

Slighty off-requirements:

2xAA: RC-N3 (just over $15)
1xAAA: E01, K-102 (AAA instead AA)

No, that's why I said for <$15 only.

Mini Maglite is the best in my opinion.

I had good luck with this one. More efficient than the Ultrafire C3.

Well, maybe by 0.01$ since you can get a RC-N3 for exactly 15$ at LedShoppe (free shipping).

The body of that one looks exactly like my MF DA1.
