Forgive me as I am going to be posting this in the CR123 section as well.
I'm looking for either a 1xAA or 1xCR123 back up light for my tk15. I have read for the last 3 days through here and CPF trying to find some good "budget" lights and have found things such as the romisens, ITP sa1 and sc1, ultrafire, akoray k-106/109, Trustfire f20 that all look promising.
The requirements for the 1xAA:
-Reliable
-3 modes: High-120+lm, med-35lm, low->5lm...or close to those #'s
-2+hrs on high with e2 lithiums
-70/30 throw/spill...or close
-Forward clicky tail
-Price: $40 or under
Ideally I'd like to have both the cr123 and AA, and eventually probably will, but I'm leaning towards one of the ITP lights ($40), in which case I will get a "budget" light of the one I dont get (AA or cr123). I feel like the ITP's are going to be the best quality in this price range, am I wrong?
Basically I'm asking, what is the BEST budget 1xAA out there right now?? Is there a hands down, top 1 or 2?
Any help is appreciated!
BTW, here are my requirements for the 1xcr123:
Requirements for the 1xcr123 light: (prob wont be using rcr123's)
-Reliable
-3 modes: high-170+lm, med-35-50lm, low->5lm...that general guideline
-Run time of at very least 1hr on high
-70/30 throw to spill, or close.
-dont care either way about strobe/SOS
-Forward clicky tail
-Price: $40 or under, get the most for my money.
