The twisty Eagletac D25AAA (cool white version) puts out 145 Lumens max.
The clicky Lumintop Tool offers 110 lumens max and up to 300 with a 10440, but they do not recommend that as it could destroy its driver.

Surefire Titan Plus claims 300 lumens.

And I get a real 260 out of mine in my sphere. That's pretty amazing for a AAA with Eneloop!

Remember the good ol days when Surefire UNDER-rated their output numbers? It's not regulated either is it?

Is that L-M-H? I prefer H-M-L but nobody seems to build one.

cool
It does seem like the Plus is top of the charts in starting brightness
Click for review
it shows 20% of 300 lumens at the 1 Hour mark for the green line (NiMH), so about 60 lumens at the 1 hour mark
I read somewhere that the Titan Plus can have that mode sequence enabled, contact Surefire for more info.

Cool, thanks for the 411! Unfortunately, like the op, I prefer a regulated driver. Maybe 100 lumens for 30 minutes before step down? I don't know what is possible with AAA NiMH. The lithium primary curve is weird dropping almost to nothing then going back up for the longest actual runtime. Both Surefire lights mentioned are too big for keychain for me anyway.

Recently picked up a Lumapower LM21. They claim 300 lumens with a 10440 (unprotected as they state a TF10440 protected does not fit) or just 100 lumens with the AAA. I will soon be ordering some 10440s to test the capabilities of this light.

Lumapower is a 100 lumen light on AAA batteries.
That light uses PWM and UNprotected 10440. Two reasons Not to go there. YMMV…
whatever robs your wallet
Recently got ultratac k18, 360 lumens on 10440. First light in a long time that has blown me away
Got it around the same time as the sidekick, and while the tint is a little too cool, the form factor of the ultratac is much smaller than the titan. Seems throwier too even though the reflector is about the same size

Thanks for the insight Jon! Yeah, unfortunately I did not know this light uses PWM. I did know about the unprotected 10440s. Are these not advisable? What about other unprotected Li-Ion batteries?

Does SkyLumen count as a brand? The ToolVN puts out 850 Lumens on a 10440 - I have one and can verify that it is amazingly bright. http://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/small-clicky-need-spec
