Nominate Best AAA Pocket Flashlight

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”

Thorfire PF03

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.

Astrolux A01 hands down
Multiple modes
And in copper a real beauty for only $20

Flooder? Thrunite Ti
Thrower? Tank007 E09

Allrounder? Maratac AAA
Runner-up Astrolux A01 (Cu)

BLF348? Nah, slippery when wet.

Best buy for the buck from above: Tank007 E09.

Hugsby X1? Could have been, if it weren’t for those @!%&* shoddy O-rings. They break the first time you swap batteries.
Surprise of the month? The Ultrafire AAA micro-version of the C8. It is like that girl from your high-school days: would never win any points in any competition (like playing the violin or cooking :wink: ), but was nice to be and have around.
