Well I'm sad to say that my loyal 4sevens Mini AA XP-G died last night after 5 years of hard labor.
I ran it on 14500's, and I don't have a rotation of pocket-EDC's, so that light was in my pocket every single day (and used almost all of them) for nearly 2000 days – pretty commendable, IMO.
That said, should I just replace it immediately with its successor, the Mini MA XP-G2 ? Or should I explore other options?
My main criteria:
So far the other option I've seen is the Eagletac D25A Mini.
Both the 4sevens Mini MA and the Eagletac D25A Mini are XP-G2 lights.
The D25A Clicky is available in an XM-L2 emitter (which I like) but I'm not sure about the tail clicky, which also makes the light almost a half-inch longer in my pocket.
Are there any other lights in this format that I should consider?
Thanks! :thumbsup:

My main criteria:
- Minimal size / design for in-pocket carry
- Reputation for reliability
- 1xAA, but able to handle 14500 (even if not officially supported; I'm responsible with the heat due to Li-Ion)
- Probably prefer twisty UI, to avoid accidental operation in my pocket.
