What is currently the brightest AAA light?

I'm looking to get a AAA light that is the smallest and brightest. Peak??

Probably the LuxIII Peak mod using one AAA rechargeable, complete with charger, by CPFer andrewwynn. That's if he ever gets it together and actually delivers...

Take a look at the Nuwai .05w 2xAAA!

Lambda MicroIlluminator (Brinkmann AAA with a R3J Luxeon driven at 155mA)

Peak is supposed to be coming out with a single AAA or AA Luxeon light this spring. Meanwhile, I will just observe /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleye11.gif

WickedLaser 50 mw green laser is REAL bright. Beam however, is quite tight.

An Arc lamp is the Spark that takes away the Dark--HID Forever!

All My Lights

I think andrew's nano uses an AAA-sized LiON battery... that's kinda sorta cheating though I'm sure he could come up with something very bright that would only run for 5 minutes on an AAA.

Judging from my 400 mA LED_ASAP-modded ARC, I'd have to think his 800 mA modded ARC would be quite bright.

A AAA MiniMag with that new TerraLux looks like a promising option.

TNC Ncell w/AAA pack and AAA li-ion cell
or Lamda brinkman AAA with simular ARCmania pill

key to super efficency is ARCmania pill w/killer bin luxeons.

my d'mo AAA luxeon is pretty darn bright. don't know about it's current availability, but something similar is definitely available elsewhere by now.

TNC Ncell w/AAA pack has features when combine gives huge advantages over other AAA luxeon lights.

1. a real custom turned reflector with sprayed on reflective coating. combined with UCL lens
2. ARCmania's super efficient converter. mated with probably an R2H luxeon.
3. flawless machining with a very solid design, trapping pill for a dead reliable switch.
4. Hard anodize option
6. different tail pack options
7. great form factor
8. will support li-ion and std AAA

Nuwai .5W 2AAA is bright, long running,relatively inexpensive, and still pretty compact. Mine starts out at about 160 cd on fresh alkalines with lots of good spill.

It's also incredibly expensive. Unbelievably so.

Ahh, but worth it if you can find one. I'm still waiting to get my AAA tailpack but love the light even with the N cell.
