I'm looking for a singe AA flashlight running on at least NiMH cells with only low and high. Always coming on in low (no memory). Does anyone know about such a light? I own a Thorfire TG06, problem is it has 3 levels and comes on in high. I also have a Convoy T2 from which I like the design very much (more than the Thorfire) but it also has 3 levels and memory. So, both are a no go. I'm thinking about putting a LED4Power driver in the Convoy which is highly user configurable but then it will not run on NiMH cells anymore.
Thanks for the quick reply. I've just been looking at this light and I must say I really don't like the design, the knurling and the pocket clip. No tail stand too and in my opinion way too expensive. But... thanks anyway.
Jaxman E3 is 3-mode… DQG Slim AA is 3-mode… Hmm, tough.
My Streamlight Protac 1AA can be configured for a low-high 2-mode (it is how I actually use it) via the Ten-Tap programming ability. Those aren’t available anymore, though, and not very bright to begin with. Plus awful PWM on low.
Ultratac A1, 3 mode no memory. Nimh and Li-Ion. It’s at its best on NiMh though. Still a 3 mode. Have no clue on a reasonable, still in production light.
Since you didn’t mention flood or throw - consider this light.
Long press for a configurable moonlight. Single click for high ( mode memory will keep it there). If you want, you can doubleclick for turbo. Super simple to use and great tint (on mine) with the NW.
Hum got that!
Well, given your specific needs that was the one that suits them “simple and easy”. Personal preferences apart, of course.
I can think of the Skilhunt M150 V2, that works with AAs and 14500s, and that you can configure and operate to have 2 modes (+ turbo, + blinkies, out of the main cycle). It can start in the lowest mode or in the last used mode, and you have 7 of them from which you can pick.
It is not cheap as the Convoy T2 or the Jaxman E3, but it is more compact, can tailstand, has magnetic tailcap, can be operated with different types of batteries, has magnetic charging for 14500s, can be found in CW, NW and High CRI emitters.
Fireflies Stainless AA. Its a single AA, LMH that always starts on low. High CRI with a well balanced optic. Just received one the other day and so far VERY happy with the quality! Haven’t tried it on 14500, just nimh so far.
Mine came with a faulty driver, pm to BLF member Fireflies lead to a reply; please e-mail us.
Unfortunately they did not reply on the emails, so i bought some of Rey his drivers which should fit.
Hopefully they will arrive soon so i can revive the SS Enogear/Fireflies AA
It seems like a very nice single AA light. But it still has 3 levels and... I couldn't find it in Europe. Amazon UK seems to have it but don't want to ship it to my location. :(
