My work-horse AAA EDC needs replacement.

Must run efficiently on AAA NiMH (Sanyo Enerloop),

Reverse/Forward switch on the TAILCAP, NO EXCEPTIONS

Modes, 2 or more (Low / High)

Decent mount-point or hook/eye for a chain or lobster-claw keyring attachment.

Also - ideally no power drain on 'standby' mode.

I've looked around already - and there seems to be a severe lack of rear-end switch type lights in this size range.

Also a *reasonable* price ($~35 USD, unless its some special metal...)

P.S. *Psst* Moderators, Perhaps there should be a "Recommendations" or "Suggest a Light" sub-forums

You are right, there aren't many. Perhaps a 4Sevens Preon - a Preon 1 or Preon Revo, plus the optional Preon clicky tailcap.

Well I've ordered a N-Light B3. I'll do a mini-review when I get it.

If you're willing to go with AA, the Xeno E03 is a great light. Has an XML, available in cool, neutral, or warm, in red, black, or blue/purple anno. Uses any AA format cell including 14500, and is crazy-bright on 14500. Has three modes, M-L-H sans disco. GITD ring behind the bezel and GITD tail cap switch; reverse clicky. About $35 shipped. I got my from tacticalhid.com and got great service and fast shipping.
