Why do I keep hearing that AAA lights are unrealiable?
I just wanted to confirm and see what you guys had to say. What do I know!! I am just a newbee to this stuff.
I am sure mr yoyo will add his great knowledge as he has a family of AAA lights ,from custom to standard......
My experience is good,no issues over the years,ironically the longest working light i have is an AAA maglite(also the worst for illumination too :laughing: ) which must be.....15-20yrs old.......dont know .
I have mulit AAA lights too,my fav of those is the lenser t7.2(genuine not fake) ........
Many great single AAA lights out there,the output is being pushed beyond 100lm now and their size make great key chain lights or EDC lights due to size. The only weakness is the AAA cell itself due to not holding enough juice(mah) but it is all comparable as of course its a small cell. AAA eneloops imo make a great choice of cell for performance and life over time,also piece of mind over some alki cells too regarding potential leaks/performance etc.
Everyone will have different experiences,only takes a couple of people to post a latest AAA light that is faulty,soon could like like an XXXXXXXX brand/model is rubbish from a google search..........
AA of course offers higher mah over AAA but its too big imo(or for me anyway) on keys,so its AAA/10440 or 10180 on my keys,be it work/cars :thumbsup:
Without AAA lights i think a lot of us would feel weighed down :laughing:
Just a thought too,as most AAA lights live on keys etc,they do get more of a hammering/clanging/dropping over other larger lights that get used maybe less frequent.............
Just my opinion and reserve the right to
