Right I'm just gonna post this here, seems about right.
This is my first post. I have been into lights for a while but only posted on German forums, since that's where I'm from. So, hello there.
I'm currently EDCing a Surefire Titan plus, and love it for what it is. However, I was never really in love with the twisty interface and am looking for a light in the AA format with a traditional rear clicky to replace it. I was hoping for years Surefire might release a fitting AA option themselves, but for now that stays a dream, I guess.
My conversion to the rear clicky, dual output interface was ignited predominantly by my Surefire G2X MV, which I have used as a daily driver around the house and property for a few years now, and which I absolutely love.
So, I'm very much looking for something similar to that interface, just in an AA format. That means:
- PROUD rear clicky (rubber for metal I don't care) with momentary on.
- Dual output (Low - High), which can be switched by press (or momentary press) of the rear switch.
- Takes 1X AA battery.
- Small size format. I want to carry the light in my Jeans "Watch pocket", or 5th pocket (whatever you wanna call it).
- Pocket clip (obviously)
- In terms of output it needs to at least match the Titan plus. I would like about 15 Lm on low, and 300+ on high. Ideally more than 300 if possible, but not more than 600.
- Colour temperature should be at least a neutral white, however I personally prefer warm white LEDs.
- Beam should be very smooth and floody. I have become very much used to the MaxVision reflector on my Surefires, and would like something equivalent to that.
- Colour: I like silver lights, as they are easier to find in the dark. But black or grey will be fine. I guess.
- In terms of durability it should of cause not disappoint. Would be nice if it could match a Surefire.
- Price: IDK, less than 200€. I'm willing to pay for quality, I'm a watchmaker.
please no custom makers or limited runs, that makes my head hurt. Just off-the-shelf OK? Would also be nice if it could be gotten in Europe.
I'm really looking for nothing fancy with lots if modes, strobe, SOS, Beacon, Secondary LED or whatever nonsense you people can come up with. Just a simple, Dual output LED flashlight. This must be doable right guys?
Whoever finds typos is invited to keep them.
