Looking for 1 Mode AAA

scrumpypaul · 2018-06-02T20:48:25.000Z

I’ve got the Olight i3E. Tiny.

Another vote for the Olight I3E EOS. I’ve had one on my keyring for at least two years and don’t even notice it’s there. 90 lumens (black model), good run time, been dropped and gotten wet several times. As the old timex commercial says, “it takes a licking and keeps on ticking”.

I still like the Hugsby XP 1 and clones. I have never had one fail, and they are inexpensive.

The BLF 348 and OlightI3E EOS are also good.
I have come to prefer 1 mode lights also. Only if I were to go camping or hiking would I prefer multiple odes.

Lumintop tool starts in med mode if you don’t want a twisty and 30 lumens is enough light .
olight makes sense if you want a keychain light .

I like 2 mode lights but they are kind of hard to find

I can also recommend the Olight i3E. Put a Energizer lithium aaa in it, and it weighs almost nothing.

You can never have enough, they make great gifts. Olight is slowly phasing these out, the 120lm silver one is all-but-impossible to find.

BLF 348 from Gearbest

Streamlight Microstream. I have had 2 of them for about 5 years and they both are going strong. 1 of them has been through the washing machine a few times and after tightening the tail cap it has been good as new

streamlight.com

MicroStream® Pocket Light | Powerful Miniature LED Flashlight | Streamlight®

The Streamlight MicroStream® is a powerful mini flashlight, measuring just 3.6 inches. It's perfect for everyday carry & provides reliable illumination on the go.

If the primary criteria is ‘smaller the better’ then you won’t find anything that beats the recommended (multiple times) i3E. It is a fantastic little light & you should definitely get one before they’re gone.

BLF-348, Microstream & Hugsby (do a search on here to find where to find real ones) are all great also but none are nearly as small.

BLF-348 - One of (if not the) cheapest way to get a Nichia emitter.
Microstream - Long time classic from a company with a great warranty.
Hugsby - Solid little light at a very low price.

Convoy tiny Xpe2 has just one mode, has anyone tried it?

Henk4U2 · 2018-06-03T15:33:42.000Z

Tiny SS light with beautiful looks. Good grip and nice feel. The head acts as an on-off switch (120dgr twist). I have not been able to open it (yet. Press fit?). Unknown to me is if the head is waterproof. Batteries are put in by removing a tiny tailcap. This tailcap has a slot for a split ring and a minuscule O-ring.

I’ve carried a Tank007 E09 for years and love it. Of course it’s a 3 mode light and though it’s very small, it can’t compete with the Olight i3E which is probably the smallest AAA light around and at a nice price.

As good a deal as it looks Since I cannot read any of it I had better pass.

I have tried it. It has a nice stainless steel body, on the heavier side, as expected for SS.

Positive:

the head won’t come off, impossible to unscrew it totally, no fear of loosing it

Negative:

25 lumens for 2 hours (while LUMINTOP Tool AAA can do 30 lumens for 3h30min)
too throwy for my test. I prefer floody lights in AAA form factor, find them more practical

Cheers,

I’m in the Olight i3E camp. It’s the best aaa EDC flashlight I’ve ever owned. I’ve got one of the rare silver 120 lumen versions.
