I’m looking for a 1AA EDC with 3 specific features. It must be a rear clicky (no mode changes via twist or side button), can tailstand, & have a moonlight mode. Also, I tend not to like bulky lights like the ZebraLights. I prefer a slim profile. Thought some of you light gurus might have a suggestion.
I’m not familiar with that particular light offhand, but I thought all ZebraLights had the “big head” look. Not sure of the technical term, lol. I guess I like my lights to more or less have a straight body.
Thanks for the suggestion. I prefer all modes to go through the rear clicky if they make such a light. That’s the only thing I don’t like about the Eagletac.
I somehow missed the clicky requirement :~
TBH I prefer rear clicky too, but I love my Maratacs (they are twisties).
They have a “tactical” that is rear tail clicky though.
A rear clicky that can tailstand makes for a pretty long light, and in a AA diameter, fiddly to operate - have a look at the Zebralight SC52, not a rear clicky but better in every way, I think.
Only three lights come to mind… the ZL SC52 (which is smaller than it might look online, and has by far the best runtime on moon/low modes), the EagleTac D25A clicky (which has several nice emitter options), and the Thrunite T10S (stainless steel is nice for EDC). I find the SC52 is very useful as a night light when tail-standing in moon mode; at 8 hours per night it’ll last about 6 weeks.
This shows the T10S and the SC52, for size reference. Also, on the far right is the L3 L10, a great option if you can live with a twisty.
Also for size reference, this shows the SC52 next to a D25A titanium clicky.
Well the OP did say rear clicky which I assume would rule out the SC52, otherwise I would add the Spark SF5 or maybe some side switches like the Olight S15 to the list. Not positive about the SF5 but I know the S15 has a moonlight mode.
I own the T10S which is a great light, and I have a D25A Ti Clicky inbound as well. I see a DX10 in one of those photos above. Nice.
