I was thinking the same thing. I believe that whenever somebody recommends an AA light their lithium ion lights should be locked up for a week. Second offense locked up for a month.
Small and compact AA/AAA style lights are great! Manker E02/3, Skilhunt E2/3, i3/i5, Zebra 5 series, sofirn c01xx, Convoy T series, Lumintop Tool just to name a few.
Great for EDC, backup, purselight, muggle friendly, generally inexpensive. Like seriously, stock up on sofirn c01 deals for a few bucks per light and you will have always a little light to give away to friends and family in need. Also I am not gonna borrow my friends a Anduril KR4 or so, that’s just a disaster waiting to happen. A simple E3a on the other hand? Everybody can handle that.
I enjoy my LiIon lights a lot like everybody else here, but when it comes to value added to my life the small AAA/AA ones are just the bread and butter of my flashlight fleet.
wait a minute, no body ever heard of SC31T ? SC31T features SST40, side switch for selecting brightness, and tactical tail switch for momentary-on, USB C charging port, easy UI.
Actually I did notice that one on the Sofirn site. I was thinking I might avoid lights with a 2 button interface. He’s never had a light with more than one button and I didn’t want to risk him hating it because of that. I’ll think about it though.
No, I’ve seen its back in stock, but but no reviews yet. Advertised should hold with a 21700 though, only one SFR 40 led. I
If you have patience you could wait until mine arrives, could give it a go!
I would tend to agree but my dad likely wouldn’t care. They were installing hideous cool blue led bulbs in their house! Seriously, the temperature must have been north of 6000k. I told them about looking for “soft white” or 2700k-4000k and they are buying those going forward but the old blue bulbs are still in place until they die.
SC31B…Here ya go. $23.09 with “LABORDAY30” code. Good til midnight tonight, and it comes with a Sofirn 3000 mAh battery. I bought one from these folks a while back. They’re GTG.
