The thing is that in general I am.
I like 14650, 18650 and so better than AA batteries for my flashlights.
That said, I accept that AA batteries have their pros like wider availability. And the fact that Eneloops are pretty good.
So, I preffer Lithium but I have a front light which uses AAA, I purchased AA lights for the little ones of the house, etc. They are still ok.
About the format of lights for two AA or 14650 batteries, I don’t like these lights a lot but I think for non-enthusiasts these may be very good. I’m thinking on getting one for my mother as an emergency light.
Add 0.5 lumen moonlight mode, next mode must be 5 lumen, not 50 or 100 lumens. Ability to enter moonlight mode from off. Use SFT 25r 5000k for throw. Please.
