I’m trying to find 1xAA/14500 (must be compatible with both) lights with an XP-L HI emitter.
For the work I do I often need to see addresses on homes from the street or when on foot. I purchased a Thrunite TN4A HI NW, my first “real” light, and I’m hooked. That light is just unreal. It works perfect for lighting up homes from sitting in my car and that’s where it stays.
Now I’m wanting another XP-L HI light that will be more suitable for carry, so I’m looking for a 1xAA/14500. I will likely use L91’s a lot of the time but I want it to able to be compatible with all options.
What I’m really after is throw, and I realize that throw is more down to the depth and width of the reflector than it is the emitter, but having that great intensity of the XPL-HI really adds the punch I’m after.
In my research I’ve found the following 1xAA/14500 XP-L HI lights, however I have concerns with each one which eliminates most of them from contention:
Klarus Mi7
-Switch easily activated according to reviews, lockout function basically required. Don’t like this.
-No clip
-Very shallow and small reflector, wide beam, not ideal for my needs.

————
Jetbeam E10R
-Same issue with switch as Klarus
-Very shallow and small reflector, wide beam, not ideal for my needs.
————
BLF X5/Kronos X5/Astrolux SC
-Quality control issues?
–14500 only, not AA compatible? (I’m not educated enough on voltages to know)
-Do not want mechanical clicky, ruled out on this alone
————
Eagletac D25A Ti
-It’s a clicky
-Expensive
-Otherwise very nice light
————
Manker TO1 II
This is the updated version of the Manker TO1, with supposedly better compatibility with a wider range of 14500’s. However, I’ve read reports that there are quality issues with Manker and still issues with some 14500’s even in the new model, and that Manker are not very responsive. This makes me hesitant. Overall, this light is the closest to what I’m looking for.

Are there any other 1xAA/14500 XP-L HI lights that I’m missing?
Alternatively-
Are there any builds I could pursue to create the light I’m looking for?
What some other 1xAA/14500 lights that you recommend for throw?
Given that the XP-L HI gets such praise and has much interest it is very disappointing and strange that we don’t see it offered as an option in more lights.
Thank You.
