Best 2AA light out there

Get a couple of AAA to AA converter cases for the bugout bag as well, they weigh nothing but double your chances of getting compatible backup batteries from any source.

Didnā€™t you forget about people with headcrabs

My initial reaction was Fenix TK20, but that shows my age. So the nearest alternative would be olight s2a baton

I am Legend is a re-make of the Omega Man - a far better film IMO but I am showing my age.

The Nitecore MT22A comes to mind, I personally donā€™t have one (yet) but it is a double AA. I like the side by side configuration.

The only multi-AA lights I have are the SF11 and TK4A. Great for eating multiple cells at a time, but they have the same issue as any multi-cell lights: leakage. One cell will always burn down fasterā€™n the other, and youā€™ll still be getting usable light while that weak-link is oozing its corrosive guts all over your lightā€™s innards.

Me personally, Iā€™d stick with single-AA lights, ā€™cause you might scrounge up 1 cell, but thereā€™s no guarantee thereā€™ll be 2.

That said, the Zanflare F2 seems to fit the bill, ā€™though I donā€™t have one to comment on it.

Otherwise, a 2ƗAA Maglite with LED drop-in (or match-mod) should be moreā€™n sufficient.

For a 2xAA flashlight, maybe Blitzwolf BW-ET1 !
And a solar battery charger :wink: Unless the sun also disappears :zipper_mouth_face: :wink:

In that case, consider a light that runs on C cells as well. Being the least popular battery size, itā€™s likely to sell out last in an apocalypse. :slight_smile:

And you can use adapters to convert from C to AA and to AAA.

Granted, I donā€™t know of any nice C lights out there. Maybe some Maglite?

Whats your price range? That will help us a little.
$10

$40

$60

Zanflare F2 because IMHO itā€™s the only easily buildable 2AA host / light you can get right now (the SA22 is another good multi-AA host but getting harder to find).

I also really like the Olight S1 baton with an extender on it so the more UTD S2A (mentioned above) would be my choice if I just wanted a turn-key light ready to use without buildingā€¦

Do people actually believe in that zombie BS or are they just joking?

Truth!

I think its just used to describe a really bad situation without being political due to the international nature of this community.(TEOTWAWKI)??
I would use natural disasters with extended power outrages, but thatā€™s long.

In my location it would be hurricanes and tornadoes that I would be concerned about, not zombies.

I buy a lot of cheap AA lights and batteries to trade it the USA goes tits up.

Price isnā€™t an issue. Thanks for all the suggestions! Will have to do my research

If price isnā€™t an issue then I would go with the Nitecore. If it is a ā€œsurvivalā€ light then the less switches the better; less to fail. Brands like Fenix and Nitecore have some QA around their products so you can be assured that you are getting a quality light. I have 15 year old Fenix and Nitecore lights that still work well. The cheaper ā€œbrandā€ lights are great if you get a good one but you might not due to lack of QA.

Batteries are as much of a concern as the lights themselves if you plan on storing them in the lights.

Please keep asking!

Omega Man is a remake of The Last Man on Earth (Vincent Price) which was an adaptation of Richard Mathesonā€™s novelā€¦I Am Legend. :wink:

Wisconsin has several zombie outbreaks every year.

Best use of flashlights is to put them all in a pillowcase and swing wildly at their heads.

Are we talking women without make-up aimlessly walking the grocery store aisles at 2am. in a bathrobe, fuzzy slippers and curlers?

I like the Jaxman M2
and of course the old fenix e21 still rocks (but we all got them cheap too :slight_smile:

Pennzy, how does one activate turbo and strobe modes in this pen light? I assume that there is no mode memory. Right? I am a big fan of Sofirn, and the $9.79 price of this piece shipped induces me to give it a try. Thanks!

I donā€™t own one but check out this video

Looks to me that turbo is in the general rotation.

Ahh, youā€™ve been to a Badgers football game.
