Once you’ve had it in your hands, you’re no the same anymore… if only just for FUN. 
There has been a couple AA/14500 dedicated threads lately. Plenty of hints at lights that may or may not fit your needs and taste. Utorch UT01, Lumintop Tool AA, Amutorch S3, Sofirn SP10A/B, Jetbeam Jet I MK, Mi7 of course…
On the 14500 battery chapter the latest best deal in town seems to be the Soshine yellow and whites.
