think about your definition of moonlight…
some call
5 lumens moonlight, others call
0.5 lumens moonlight… and a few of us call
0.05 firefly, instead of moonlight…
I don’t know of any that meet all those requirements. Olight i3t has 2 modes (5/180 lumen) and starts on low with no mode memory. It is forward clicky.
The ultratac AA has a simple L-M-H without memory which is great. But the AAA version (aka Aidier A7) is H-L-Strobe unfortunately.
Sofirn’s 2 mode groups for the C01R looks promising. I hope to see that type of adjustable UI make it into more aa and aaa lights.
Gnope, no visible pwm on mine, not even on low. Shaking it back’n’forth, no “stutter” or anything.
My switch has a certain moosh-factor that makes it hard to bap the switch too fast, so I never really had an issue with it. Not the best switchcap, but no problem with acci-strobe. Tradeoff, I guess.
All I ever got AAA lights for is to burn down moribund cells from 3×AAA craplights that mum gets. They croke at about 1.1V for her when the light gets “too dim”, so that’s plenty to use as a nightlight in a single-AAA light.
Skinny Tie, that’s impressive. How did that occur to your Wuben E01with a AAA battery? That photo looks more like you tossed it in a campfire late one night after drinking too much.
The E01 is so close, but the stupid SOS mode is annoying. The other thing is the horribly ringy beam. That tiny little reflector should really be orange peel instead of smooth. The little AAA tool has an OP reflector the same size and the beam is much better. I swapped the emitter to an LH351d and used a bit of matte scotch tape over the reflector, it’s comparable to a 45 or 60 degree TIR light now. It lives on my nightstand, turning on in that nice low mode is perfect for a nightstand light.
I’ve had one for years now. Used it nightly until the Olight replaced it.
Works fine with AAA enloops.
One issue with mine is that the head will sometimes pop off it dropped and it hits the floor just right.
And yes it is threaded, but somehow it jumps off the threads.
Some complain the switch is flakey and turns on in the pants pocket.
It will turn on in the pants, but works fine in a shirt pocket. My switch has been OK.
