Hi Everyone,
Im currently designing a custom single-cell AAA light, aiming for it to be the brightest (most lumens) currently available in the AAA form factor, but to keep the size small and max lumens high, I may have to limit the light to running on 4.2V 10440 (rechargeable AAA equivalent).
Would you consider EDC-ing (&/or buying) a AAA size light that only accepts rechargeable 10440's?
I'd greatly appreciate any & all feedback.
Approximate Size: 70mm x 14mm
Currently planning 4 mode twisty with no mode memory
low > high > turbo > beacon 1.5Hz (eg. 1 flash every 1.5 sec)
twist on/off quickly to advance to next mode.
leave off for more than 1.5 sec and you are back to low mode.
Approximate Output: 50lm > 250lm > 400lm+ > 100lm (beacon)
tailstand & keychain/lanyard attachment already planned.
If possible, I'd also love to hear your thoughts on:
1) Clip (yes/no/dont care)
2) Low Mode (how many lumens is your ideal?)
Any other feedback most welcome.
Thanks in advance,
