Single AA light with only low and high and no memory

[pc_light]

The 1L-AA does have 2-levels using a 14500 when configured as Lo-Hi. It’s just that they aren’t as visually distinctive as compared to something like the OL i5t’s 2-levels. Also, one must half-press relatively quickly (short OFF time) to switch between from one level to the other.

Actually I should have said “(short ON time)”. To get to High from Off, simply double click quickly fom Off.

However, if the first click to Low is On for more than about 1 second, getting to High from that point requires a double click to cycle through Low-then-High.

Just passing by a new Skilhunt E2A, an AA/ 14500 with 3-modes, Low - Med - High. I do not think there is a flashlight with only 2-modes CMIIW

The Skilhunt doesn’t fit OP’s requirements.
And there is/are flashlights with only 2 modes. The one I presented (Olight i5T EOS) is one of those.

Ran across the Nextorch C1. Single AA two mode light. I’ve never had a Nextorch so I can’t speak to it’s quality.

Another candidate - Trustfire T2 …. with Cree XPL, 2 levels, no memory, works with AA and 14500.

Problem still is that in the 2 level mode the light comes on in high.

I also don't like the Olights i5T EOS..

Does someone have a similar flashlight to recommend but with a better design?

Similar in specs that is :)

I have an Armytek A1 Partner, single AA and only has two modes.
Unfortunately, I have no idea if you can still find it on the market or not.

The latest model they currently have is the one with 8 modes

I have an “Armytek A1 Partner”:Review: Armytek Partner A1/A2/C1, single AA and only has two modes. Unfortunately, I have no idea if you can still find it on the market or not. The “latest model”:https://www.armytek.com/flashlights/models/partner/armytek-partner-a1-pro-xp-l-warm/ they currently have is the one with 8 modes :person_facepalming:

I can't imagine why one would need 8 modes.

Thank you for the info

Yesterday I was looking into Jaxman (AliExpress) store as I wanted to order a new Jaxman E3. While reading the specs, I noticed this
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32610831028.html

“Now we have make a 3modes version driver for the E3 flashlights.And if you need 2 modes version, we also can provide for our buyers.The middle mode is realized by PWM. The estimate runtime of every mode is(tested with a Ni MH 1.2V 2100mAH battery):”

So, jaxman can make a driver with 2 levels…I am not sure if the levels will suit your needs.
I can tell, though, that the E3 is an incredibly strong flashlight as host

Thanks for the info. I noticed this too and have been talking to Jaxman. Communication is slow and seems difficult though.
