Hi everyone, I've been trying to find this answer throughout this great site as well as the various review sites, but was wondering on everyone's general opinion. I need a flashlight that is pretty bright, regulated and no bigger than 2xAA (I'd prefer to stick to AA batteries as well as I have some rechargeables with the 15 minute chargers). The basic lights I've been trying to compare so far are the Streamlight Jr., XM-3, TerraLux minimag luxeon drop-in module and the NegGen sandwich 750mA. From what I've seen all are regulated but could anybody but them in an order of brightness? Thanks for any advice you guys can give!!

If you want regulated, I'd take the Minimag TerraLux right out of the equation. With your requirements, I'd suggest either the Streamlight Jr or the XM-3.

brightest Nexgen 750 mA, that is for sure. streamlight and terralux probably similar. XM3 is somewhere in the middle
