So Im looking for a single AA flashlight for use as an edc but also as a backup to my issue light for patrol. Im looking at both the Nitecore defender infinity and the Olight I15. If you all had to pick which light would you choose and why?
Single AA light

You might want to look into Zebralights.
I have a ZL SC50+ and it's decent. I like the low-low setting in particular. Also, the UI is pretty decent and the light comes with a headband.

I'd also look at the 4Sevens Quark.

If Zebralight, then you could even wait for the upcoming Zebralight SC51.
When you say AA do you mean only Alkaline ? or are you considering NiMH, Lithium or even 14500 ?
A really compact and light weight one is the Quark Mini AA however it is a twisty. Actually if you were to consider this then the Quark Mini 2xAA would still be quite compact.

There is a Quark AA tactical that could work.

How about a Nitecore D11 XP-G R5.

The Olight T-15 is pretty good with a simple UI, but I think it's a bit on the large side for a single AA light.
I'd say check out the JetBeam BK135A, Lumapower Trust 1 or the Quark Tactical AA R5. All good choices and all very bright on a 14500 battery.

Neither of the two. Take a look at the Streamlight PT 1AA, a great little EDC light from a company you are no doubt familiar with.

I've carried one for a little over a month and absolutely love it. It's not as bright as some of the other lights listed, however, it's plenty bright for it's size (50 lumens OTF on High), and you can't beat the Streamlight lifetime warranty.

1+ for the NiteCore Defender Infinity.
Cool tactical light, great as a backup. It is very sturdy and will serve you well, but it's not the brightest AA light out there, if output is what you are looking for.
The Zebralight SC51 will be a great backup too!
I would choose the NiteCore, bright enough, very cool, can use 14500's, it also have a great bezel for self defense.

I've had a brand new NDI start going to high when the bezel was loose. Then it would go back to the preset bezel-loose level. Many, too many threads about problems with Nitecore for me to trust them again.
