I saw the same or similar ones at the HD here, but they had 2-packs of 3xAAA ones (in 3xAAA carriers), with one black and one chrome/silver.
I replaced the 3xAAA carrier with a 18500 battery (no convertors needed, just dropped the 18500 in), and it’s pretty bright. Single mode only though. The LED is on a star that’s on a small pill, so it’s relatively easy to work with. Bodies are pretty sturdy.
Those seem to be the 3AAA ones from Black Friday / Christmastime. I have four of those. I think they're XB-D's. I wanted to do some XM-L emitter swaps with them. Old-Lumens thread here.
The 3xAAA ones are XB-D, indeed. I did emitter swap on one. Not a bad light with XP-G in there.
I also changed it so I can fit an 18650, with an AK-47A driver. Minor tailcap mod, trim off the plastic nub around the spring.
Edit: Just took a look. Driver is up in the pill a bit too, in order to fit the 18650.
Yeah the 2aa lights aren’t worth it, I was curious about the emitter. (And haven’t had anything arrive in the male in three weeks) so I figured why not
Bummer, they looked like nice lights to me this morning. Liked the body and clip. I was going to to put 219’s in mine. Why are they not worth $7.50US a piece?
The 2aa lights
The driver is what makes it not worth it for me. It’s a next mode memory, which I’m not a huge fan. They are $20 for two here, there alright for loaners.
The clip feels a little soft, if its spring steal then its a little thin and flimsy.
It’s an alright light, the beam is decent but that next mode memory kills it for me. If it was a single mode I’d be happier.
