1xAA C8 style, exist?

Hi guys, I’m searching for some budget lights C8 style, but with 1xAA (and not 1x18650) but seems not to be lucky. Exist???
I mean something like this: Mini C8 (the “famous” mini C8 pretty moddable, still mine). But it must be as the same of his big brother, like Convoy C8, not crappy Police style :slight_smile:

Try Romisen RC-G2. I don’t know if it’s available in anything other than a single mode, but it’s good build quality.

BTW, it’s “on sale” on Ebay for $12.99:

I actually think this is Tmart.com, but it says “Ships worldwide”.

That reminds me of the good old Romisen RC-G2, still like the design very well after years, dx may still have it but the best version may be the Shiningbeam custom (also in NW):

The only downside is that it only comes with OP-reflector.

A reminder that there seem to be (at least) 2 different renditions of the RC-G2, see:

Thank you very much guys, well done :slight_smile:
Romisen RC-G2 is nice but I was wondering if there an identical pattern of Ultrafire/Convoy/etc with 1xAA exist in the market store.
Probably “NO”… :_(

but… wanting to widen the choice to an 1x14500?

I have wanted the same thing for 4 years now and the closest thing I ever saw was the lumapower D mini with the turbo head or something like a four sevens AA quark turbo but with a bigger head ...I'm looking for just a very wide reflector AA light .. wide like 40mm wide . Like a jacob a60 head and a AA body and tail. If I could get my hands on a L2R i guess i could cut it down and put it on a masterpiece pro but thats a bit heavy.I like a smoother transition from body to head than the c-8 which I think is just ugky ..something like a maelstrom /eagle eye x6 shape

Something like this?

I've not seen a AA version of this as they all appear to be AAA. If this is AA I'd love one but they don't ship to Australia.

WOW!!! Very nice job :party:

Thank you for suggestion! :slight_smile:
I’ve write at the seller, asking if it is AA or AAA (like it appear) but he do not sell it in Italy too… |(

We are looking at the same thing… :smiley:
Why do not we ask to some flashlight’s brand to do one for us? A C8 but with 1xAA/14500 battery. I think that will sell a lot!

Well if you all want it and it is confirmed it is AA then I'll buy it for y'all and send it to you. He does ship to denmark.

That would add the shipping cost though... :-( So not sure if you would want that. Its about 2 Euro to italy and about 2,5 Euro to Australia. Shipping time to down under is stated as 5-7 days plus custom clearance. Not bad me thinks. YMMW :-P

I like it! Does it have a solid pill? What size driver does it take?

Thanks Ledsmoke.

Thank you Ledsmoke, you are a gentleman :slight_smile:
But at the moment I prefer to wait, because I’ve another on his way, this: Mini C8 with golden ring (1xAAA) and another broken/to mod on my desktop :bigsmile: but if it is confirmed it is AA… :party:

I’ve write at the seller, in my bad english have wrote: ” Hi, I saw in the description that the flashlight run with 1xAA battery. It’s correct? Because it seem to be a flashlight with 1xAAA (which I’ve buy in other online store). Thank you very much:-)”

and his answer was: ” It is AA battery,smaller than the AAA battery,thanks! ”

Well…I really don’t know…do you think he have understand my question? For him, AA battery is smaller than AAA… :exmark:

I think he smoked some bad dope. Or maybe language barrier :-p

Well well now. For no apparent reason I studied e-bay for a while looking for something along the lines you want.

And I found this to be a... maybe? It is not a C8 shape.

If you are prepared to go Li-ion you might as well go 18650. 700mAh vs 2500-3400mAh for only marginally bigger.

That looks like an Ultrafire 501 head on a miniature body. Nice! Especially if it’s a real P60 head.

I sent him a question asking if it is made of Aluminum or plastic. Hopefully it’s Al… Also, his price is a bit high for what it is… If he can get it into the $3 to $4 range I’d pop & review it for y’all.

I have a couple of 1*AA drivers burning holes in my pockets wanting good homes…
