I'm thinking about getting one of the new FourSevens Preon Ones but the fact that their still PWM really bugs me. Are there any little AAA lights out there with the new CREE LEDs in them that are current controlled?

I think the Thrunite TI TI Titanium Christmas 2014 version is CC. I have one. It is a nice light. I do not see any PWM. They can still be purchased at various places. I have the Neutral XP-L version.

I did just find the Thrunite. Is there a reason there isn't more AAA lights with the XP-L? Is there not much of a gain?

1xAAA can't really drive XM-L2 or XP-L to the max so it's headroom is wasted. That's why you normally see XP-G2 or XP-E2 in these things.

I haven't done any run times with my Thrunite Ti Ti XP-L, but it does put out a lot of light, and the LED looks huge inside the smallish bezel. I haven't had to recharge my Eneloop yet in almost a year, so I guess that is good.
