Lonely AAA cells

Fellas

Ok, I've got a ton of AAA cells that are collecting dust with only a 1st Gen Fenix L0D and a blood glucose meter. What's out there that will allow me to but these AAA's to some sort of use. Or has AAA cells taken a back seat in the flashlight world?

No, you can take a look at these links:

Plenty of contenders using AAA,I seem to have more AAA cell lights than AA cell.

I was going to say Preon but HKJ's list is sweet!

Hi:

How about the Maglite XL100? It's plenty bright and has some interesting features like the UI and different modes. It is also available at Frys and Home Depot.

Inova Bolt BLT-3A 2AAA
Streamlight Stylus Pro 2AAA
Streamlight Microstream 1AAA
Peak Eiger 1AAA/2AAA
Quark Preon
upcoming EagleTac PN20a2 2AAA

The IlluminaTi from Battery Junction.

Liteflux LF2XT

Couple of Fenix E01s for long runtime:twothumbs

Solarforce L2i uses 3 AAA cells and usually comes with a single mode dropin fitted ... The L2i can also be bought without the dropin ... Can be very easily converted to use a 18650 when the stock of AAAs is all used up.

And its cheap too ! ... Also a three mode dropin is less than £9 including postage if you don't want the SOS and strobe of the five mode dropin (which is also the same price).
.

1st Choice: IlluminaTi
2nd Choice: ITP Eos A3 upgraded.
3rd Choice: Liteflux LF2XT

Any of these are imminently pocket-able, and will give you much greater flexibility and high-end output than the E01.

Good hunting!

For me AAA's ride in the front seat. My little pocket lights probably see more use than others. Of course I'll recommend the LF2XT.

And lower lows as well as longer runtime, but they are appreciably more expensive except for the ITP EOS A3 being about $5-$7 more than the Fenix E01.

Princeton Tec EOS is still one of the best headlamps around. Make sure you get the newest version.

My cartridge razor takes a single AAA and has a button that makes it vibrate. I have no idea if this makes it shave any better though.

My AAA's go in one of my handful of maratac AAA's

Bright!
Three mode
Several different flavors

And the clip reverses so you can clip it to your hat brim for a quick hands free headlamp!

Ditto the above regarding the Maratac AAA. Also available in a sweet stainless steel version, if you're so inclined.

Icon has a new AAA penlight coming down the pipeline...

I had tons of unused AAA's until the 4sevens Preon 2 came along, now I buy AAA's just for it!

How about a Fenix LD01 with an XP-G R5?

How about something totally off the wall... like an LED Lenser M7?

*Regulated driver
*Uses 4 x AAA
*U-beaut quick focus system
*Multi-mode

Just go to a brick and mortar store and try to find a smaller light or headlamp that doesn't run on 3xAAA. Pick up a couple for very few $$$, stick in your batteries, and the cheap inefficient things will run them down in no time.
