Zebra SC5 II is NOT brighter than 500lm. Ok ,on the paper 550lm, in reality about 430lm.
So the brightest single AA flashlight I know is Armytek Prime A1 PRO - 465 real lumens (warm tint version).

My first version Zebralight SC5w measures 450 lumens. I think the newer SC5 II, especially in cool white, has to be over 500 lumens.

You’re claiming the Armytek Prime A1 Pro is 465 lumens? I have the A2 warm, and it measures 450 lumens. I don’t see how the 1xAA version could be 465, if the 2xAA version is only 450. Granted, mine is the XML2 version, and I think the newer XPL version is brighter, but I don’t believe Armytek has made as bright a 1xAA light as Zebralight.

Generally the 1xAA can use 14500, but 2xAA only take Ni-MH. So they end up very similar in output. See Olight S1A and S2A.
