The Hugsby XP-12 is a nice and cheap choice. It’s available from multiple vendors between $6-10 a piece. Simple and dependable. I did a review on it a little while back.
I bought one of these based on the recommendation here. It’s a nice looking light but arrived with a defective switch and the company never did help me with it despite multiple emails.
What is it doing that led you to believe it’s a faulty switch?
It could be an easy fix. Does it have a retaining ring in the tailcap? If it does try screwing it in more. They are sometimes loose. If that doesn’t work, you could replace to switch completely which might not be too hard for you.
I just come here from google search. After reading comment I am totally confused which AA flashlight should buy. Which is the best aa flashlight that you will recommend to buy? Don’t know much but I have found some good AA flashlight list here. https://theeffectiveguide.com/best-aa-flashlight/ . Experience member suggest please.
I bought the Lumintop ED25 for about $20 on sale, it’s currently $25. I am still amazed by the quality of this light and the output running on plain old AA batteries.
Inova X2 in Mossy Oak. On eBay, I see 6 for sale at $25.84 shipped. 2AA included, 190/43 lumens, wonderful fit n finish. Hmm. May have to pull the trigger myself…
