Seems just silly that you didn’t just add “for me” to the end of your statement thats all I bet?
There are plenty of us that find an aaa light useful and plenty that carry one for this every day so to make the blanket statement like you seem too at first is a little short sighted to me,that is how I read it at least.
TheMicrostream is a great example here,many carry this light and it is all that they need,they are rugged and have a huge following for that and the simple operation and great clip that allows it to be useful for many.
These are not bright enough for my main light but I still carry a lot of them because I can and can also easily find an aaa cell anywhere.
I like the ET D25aaa a lot,it is small and sold in a 219b and has a nice moonlight,magnet and workable clip and mine have been indestructable too!
