Please help me find this flashlight

Hello, I would like to hear some feedback on the best option that fits the following parameters:

1. Total length less than 8 centimeters
2. Key-chain ready (lanyard, or whatever)
3. Must take AAA or AA alkaline or lithium single battery. No 123A or other types allowed.
4. Dual output mode.
5. Less than $100.

Thank you so much for your advice! :twothumbs

ITP A3 should fit the bill, comes in a single mode or 3 mode. The quark mini should also meet your requirements although it is a 3 mode light. It is very easy to use though so I still recommend it. There are a number of other options, so it would help us if you tell us how much you want to spend and anything else that you might want in this light. How Bright? Clicky or twisty? Etc.

This one should fit the bill nicely. There's also an upgraded model that has 3 modes.

I modified my original post. I actually need a dual output LED light. Thank you again.

There aren't a ton of keychain AA or AAA lights that are dual mode, the only one I can think of is the leatherman serac which is supposed to be nice, but is outdated. I still think the ITP A3 EOS or quark mini AA would be best.

The Quark mini is a great little light for the money. A step above the cheapies, but still not budget-busting.

I lost my Dad's flashlight which was a Fenix. It was small and had an LED source. The front cap twisted for two output modes and off mode as well. It took a single AAA battery. I want to buy him a replacement, or even an upgrade, but it has to fit the same parameters as his old flashlight that I lost.

I found this one that seems to fit my requirements: http://www.fenixtactical.com/fenix-ld01.html

It has 3 modes which I can live with. What do you all think about this candle? Thanks.

i agree with csa - i vote for the quark mini AA. it is extremely tiny for a AA light. either that or the fenix (link you posted) or the itp a3; they all sound like good choices to me.

Save half your money and as above posters have said the ITP A3 EOS,great light 3 modes and a much loved light by many members so that cannot be bad can it?

+1 for the ITP A3, get the Stainless steel or Titanium version. You'll also be happy with the Quark MiNi AA (double the runtime) there is also a titanium version.:wave:

I don't particularly care for multimode lights with twisty. Changing modes requires two hands. I prefer the push button tail switches. The Quark AA is bright. The ITP lights get good reviews here.
