AA budget light similar to Fenix

Hey all, what is the closest comparable budget AA light to the Fenix LD12 2017 version(14500 supported). Specifically in terms of tactical tail switch and electronic side switch for mode changes. Thanks.

ThruNite Archer 1A V3 is very similar. Bit more lumens apparently.

Just read specs and youtube review on the Archer. Great suggestion as it is very similar but better because of neutral option and firefly mode which i like a lot. Although only slightly cheaper than the LD12. Thanks AgentSteel. This one is at the top of my list.

Minor point, but the 2017 LD12 is a neutral white (I don’t think you can get it in cool white).

Yes that is good. I’d get if only price was much lower. It’s $60cdn before shipping. I also ordered 2 UT01 at $13 each during christmas. Too many deals floating around blf make it hard to justify paying that much.

My pleasure, I’m interested too but these lights seem not so common in the budget segment

I think the nitecore MT10A at least physically is a match. Not sure about the brightness and modes…etc. Plus you get a red LED.
