Nominate Best AAA Pocket Flashlight

You are going to get plenty of opinions here.

I love the AAA format and have more of them than is good for me.
Here are my nominations:

Best all-time AAA light: ReyLight Tool Titanium. Rey may still have these. Nothing comes close for tint, the excellent switch, perfect UI, and huge value for money spent. IMHO it’s the equal of customs costing twice as much or more.

The copper one is nice but it is heavy and has a protruding tail switch.

The much less expensive Black Anodized Tool is great also, especially if you get the twisty tailcap, which can tail-stand and acts as a momentary when loosened slightly.

Others:
Best vintage AAA: Fenix LD01
Best bombproof AAA: Peak Eiger
Best bombproof AAA 5mm led cult light: Nitecore T0 or Fenix E01
Best small twisty: Maratac or Thrunite Ti
Best Monster-Bright AAA: MBI HF-R
Best flashlight bargain ever: The legendary BLF –348

Just cut to the chase and get the Lumintop Tool.

The Olight i3E in silver (120 lumen single mode) It’s been my edc for a couple of months now. Can’t say enough good things about it.

I EDC a Tank007 E09 using a 10440. Some visible PWM but as reliable as it gets. Wouldn’t want to be without my tiny powerhouse :smiley:

I second the Olight i3e in silver

BLF-348

For EDC purpose, I like my Lumintop Tool AAA aluminium.
For “fun” light, my BLF 348.

Lumintop Tool with a 10440 in it. Haven’t found a better AAA for the money.

Does the BLF348 count as “plenty bright”

Maratac AAA, take your pick on MOC (I like the copper the best myself).

1. The best with aaa now with big difference is the Ultratac K18

2. Very good also Olight I3S (I love the I3s-Cu versión)

3. Maratac aaa is impressive, but overpriced. (Maratac aaa rev 3 in copper, wow, nice!!)

1st place… Ultratac K18 brass or SS …electronic switch AAA or 10440

2… Astrolux A01

3… ReyTool AAA Ti

4… Lumintop Tool AAA

Lumintop Tool AAA.

Superb fit and finish. Tough as nail as well - check out the torture test: Tool AAA Torture Test

The guy dropped it, put it in boiling water, and even set it on fire. When it stopped working, it’s only because the battery inside broke, not the light!

Hugsby is great for only four or five bucks, lots of light and a clicky switch. Lumintop Tool but fifty bucks for a AAA, crazy. Have a lot of twisties but have vowed to never buy another, get a clicky switch.

Since I dislike twisties as EDC, Lumintop Tool Ti.

Fenix E05

Tool AAA aluminum is only $12 with discount code on BLF.

Personally, I like my Tank007 E09.
