Are there any lights like these but using AA battery ? The AA battery gives more than twice the milliamps, and is still pretty small.
I really like the Tank007 E09 with it's 3 modes, up to 18 hour run time, price under $15. But it's AAA
The Fenix E01 has a 21 hour run time. and is $12.50 at battery junction. But it's AAA
Anything with similar run time and price but in AA?
iTP A2 Eos or the Olight A2 are the first to come to mind.
ITP SA1 on low mode might do it.......but you will have to pay a tad more then the price you want one for.
I do believe any cheap one with modes will do it, but since they do vary a LOT, I cannot vouch for any. And they will be less efficient....
But all my cheapos run over 12 hours on LiIon.
May I ask why 18 hours?
Maratac AA on low will go way over 18 hours.
Mostly because the AAA lights I'm comparing with. Those little AAA lights have a nice long reliable burn time, and their price is good value. I'm just wishing I could find something equally as good but that uses an AA. The AA gives more juice and really isn't that much larger in size.
$8.00 2AA old good Maglite with $4.98 NiteIZ dropin. Bright, uniform illumination, will last 40 hours or more, I do not turn it off when working w. some home projects.
The Mini-Maglite 2AA LED was on sale during the winter holidays for 50% off.
I liked it a lot -- except occasionally it'd flicker -- I think it's the mechanical contact to the battery not firm enough.
Otherwise I feel it is a very good choice -- for that holiday price.
It's now back to regular price like $18 online.
I bought an extra one (gray) for $11+ tax during the holidays; just returned it the other day to Lowe's. Otherwise could have given you an offer if you like Maglite's... .
