Looking for 1 Mode AAA

I can also recommend the Olight i3E. Put a Energizer lithium aaa in it, and it weighs almost nothing.

You can never have enough, they make great gifts. Olight is slowly phasing these out, the 120lm silver one is all-but-impossible to find.

BLF 348 from Gearbest

Streamlight Microstream. I have had 2 of them for about 5 years and they both are going strong. 1 of them has been through the washing machine a few times and after tightening the tail cap it has been good as new

If the primary criteria is ‘smaller the better’ then you won’t find anything that beats the recommended (multiple times) i3E. It is a fantastic little light & you should definitely get one before they’re gone.

BLF-348, Microstream & Hugsby (do a search on here to find where to find real ones) are all great also but none are nearly as small.

BLF-348 - One of (if not the) cheapest way to get a Nichia emitter.
Microstream - Long time classic from a company with a great warranty.
Hugsby - Solid little light at a very low price.

Convoy tiny Xpe2 has just one mode, has anyone tried it?

Tiny SS light with beautiful looks. Good grip and nice feel. The head acts as an on-off switch (120dgr twist). I have not been able to open it (yet. Press fit?). Unknown to me is if the head is waterproof. Batteries are put in by removing a tiny tailcap. This tailcap has a slot for a split ring and a minuscule O-ring.

Some more options:

I’ve carried a Tank007 E09 for years and love it. Of course it’s a 3 mode light and though it’s very small, it can’t compete with the Olight i3E which is probably the smallest AAA light around and at a nice price.

MascaratumB,
This (Shuolide ???) looks very good, but I cannot read it. Is postage free?
Thanks,
Jerry

jerm03, to the US it says:

I believe you won’t need to pay for it, unless you need/want it to arrive faster :wink:

BTW, tracking number will probably not be available !!

As good a deal as it looks Since I cannot read any of it I had better pass.

I have tried it. It has a nice stainless steel body, on the heavier side, as expected for SS.

Positive:

  1. the head won’t come off, impossible to unscrew it totally, no fear of loosing it

Negative:

  1. 25 lumens for 2 hours (while LUMINTOP Tool AAA can do 30 lumens for 3h30min)
  2. too throwy for my test. I prefer floody lights in AAA form factor, find them more practical

Cheers,

I’m in the Olight i3E camp. It’s the best aaa EDC flashlight I’ve ever owned. I’ve got one of the rare silver 120 lumen versions.

just bought copper reylight AAA and olight i3eos copper…these better be awesome!

Discontinued, but the Odepro EA01 was a beautiful and classy little light. Discontinued, yeah, but if you get hold of Jenna from Odepro, maybe she can scare up one for you.

I ruined one with a friggin’ alkaleak which took a dump inside the light, tried cleaning it out but never got it working 100% (head works fine, but it’s the spring/switch in the tail that’s wonky), so asked her if there would be a replacement of any kind, and explained my sitch. She was nice enough to get one for me for 8-10bux or whatever it was, shipped right to my door.

1-mode twisty, sleek design, looks like a slim stretched rook (chesspiece) with a nice gold trim-ring.

Whatever you do, do not use alkaleaks… get an eneloop or something.

Can you elaborate on why you want something different than or in addition to the Thorfire TK01?

Are you looking for a different emitter? More runtime? Smaller?

The Shoulide looks good, but when I put in quantity of 2 there is a statement that it cannot be delivered to the US. I can buy one black and one red without getting that notification.
I decided to order one of each, and see what happens. :question:
