Hellow I need suggestions to buy AAA flashlight. I analyze several options.
Sofirn c01s
Lumintop tool aaa
Lumintop edc01
Lumintop IYP07
Thurnite Ti3 v2
Jetbeam jet U.
And I admite new options. Thanks.
Or maybe I should wait to new mode option of sofirn Moonlight - Low - High / High - Low - Moonlight (2 mode groups)
The Tool AAA with Nichia, as mortuus said, is a good versatile pick. I have one and love it to bits. Although they don’t seem to make the aluminium one with a reflector anymore, and I have no familiarity with the Osram LEDs they’re using now.
I carry the Olight i3T EOS on my wallet and find it to be a reliable 2 mode flashlight!
It is Low-High, cool white LED, and it is a physically robust light.
I bought a very cheap (sells for $3.99)
U`King AAA flashlight and I like it a lot
it was a flash sale purchase / bought for .99 cents delivered
it is bright and it feels well made,
guessing it is about 120 lm
(Ebay listings state 3000-3999 Lumens)…lol
the tail switch has only one mode - on - off
I keep it by the bed
I actually liked it enough that I bought a second one

I probably would opt for the non-magnetic version and pay only $8.82 per light on 11.11. I would really like to know the OSRAM LED tint and beam quality? And wish it came in blue! Thanks!
It has a nice pebbled Tir that produces a smooth broad beam.
The Osram is not High CRI, but on mine the LED was changed to High CRI, since that is the only type of LED I choose to use.
That is why I suggested the Nichia version of the Copper Tool…
Nichia = High CRI
What is the approx. color temperature of the Tool AAA OSRAM? Thanks!
Edit:
I realized that I purchased a non-magnetic Tool AAA OSRAM (for $7.60) during an Amazon US lightening deal a few months ago. The color temperature is cool white (@ 6500K) with a noticeable blue tint - pretty much a deal killer for me. The one I have stays in the box and will be gifted some day.
**I like Titanium as I’m around salt water. I picked up 3 of the Massdrop (now it’s just Drop) Blue Titanium AAA Flashlight at $35 each. If you don't want to pay that much then there is the Astrolux Ti3A Titanium Nichia 219C for $20 (twistys). Doesn’t Astrolux also have a nice non-titanium AAA for @$7-8?
I like it as long as you don’t mind Med - High - Low rotation. And the new ones added on-time memory. And I think it only comes in cool white. I have some but have swapped emitters. And the UI isn’t my favorite but I’m flexible, especially considering the small size and price.
