I am a fan of the single AA runners with the focusable aspheric lenses. Most of them have a clip, I use an old ball cap and cut a small slit near the center of the bill. Work the clip in the slit and you will have a hands free light that shines everywhere you point your head. It's so light it won't tip the cap, works very well without the complications of those harness rigs...

AA is also possible but then the lumens drop of course.I must say that these two lights are so good that Incan do 80% of what I do round the house with these two.

Matt, you might want to check out the Maratac AAx2 Extreme from CountyComm. The current light is their rev5. They list it at 700 lumens high with a run time of 1.5 hours at that level. I have the earlier rev2 that is listed at 650 lumens. It has decent throw and spill with low, medium and high with SOS and strobe blinkies. Decent threads and a good quality body. It might be worth your time when looking for a 2 AA.

After initial disappointment of the delivery time, and then the apparent low output verses battery life (using a Nitecore cell) from the Micro - I did some tests. This time using a Keepower cell, I achieved over 2 hours on full power (Yes the output will ramp down) , which is good enough for me. The light output compared to my Cateye Volt1200 , and my Magicshine 906 (?) cycle light on turbo is incredible for such a small unit - the focused beam penetrates the darkness far better than the two bike lights. For night delivery work, the Micro can replace my heavy generic 3500 lumen touch .

Btw I think the best EDC ever is the Nitecore P12GT. Runs on a single 18650, has an excellent user interface, an amazing throw for its size, and just great performance all round. I feel like they went backwards with the new P12GTS. They increased the lumens and gave up a lot of throw. You don’t really notice the difference between the outputs, and it’s almost always better to have better throw as the spill between the two lights is great anyways.

I have the first 2. I kinda wish the Big Boy had a bigger led & ir spread out a tad farther but it will reach out there. That GT Mini or the middle size is the baddest ass little light. It’s worth the $50 it cost. It will blow your mind. It’s pretty much the light that you can use for anything within let’s say your line of sight. It will light up an owl for 100 yards easy. The led looks dang near the dame size of the Big Daddy one. I gotta get the small one just to have the whole crew but suspect it willbe really close to the GT Mini or middle flashlight. That GT Mini will literally blow away my 6Dcell Mag light. I’d bet the smallest will as well.

Tony Tyler Literally all good flashlights that push the boundaries of their own form factor will step down after a brief time in their highest mode. It’s physics. Would you prefer lights to just stay at the turbo output and fry themselves? Or would you prefer to not have the turbo modes in the first place so they don’t step down? The third option is what lights do right now, which is step down on high modes and also have lower mode selections. I think that’s the best option probably.

I’d like to see a good Double AA that carries as good as the Terra-LUX 80 but with more power. It might be a pen light but the LUX does not go into the front pocket of a shirt. Show me a 2-AA EDC that’s slimmer than the Nitecore P12 and I just might buy it. Good video.

@Mishibar 5 жыл бұрын

I think the complete opposite. I think 4mm wider and 15mm longer battery makes an enormous difference in a pocket. AA/14500 is by far my favorite form factor, its the perfect blend of output and decent runtime in a small enough package for EDC use (not that I would use this for EDC, head is too large)

Mishibar ...I luv the width (19mm) of the Lumintop AA/or 14500. Now if I could find a light with that width,& takes 2 AA or 2 14500s I’d truly consider buying it. If you know of one 19mm width from top to bottom please let me know.....Now that I’m thinking about again I will check Amazon. The length of a 2-AA light has never bothered me, just the width, brand and maybe the $3.50 lights shipped free from China might worry me a bit😂....LOL

@@ChrisJohnson-ht3gx Im curious, why the interest in longer lights ? for the extended runtime or something else ? And no sorry, I dont know of any current slim form factor 2xAA lights. I know the old Foursevens Mini 2A was extremely thin, but its out of production now. I looked at it and mistaked it for a AAA penlight

Mishibar I may have misunderstood your first reply. As far as the length goes, I like knowing it’s in my pocket without having to keep checking. The Terralux takes 2 batteries and is about 5.5” long. I’m nearing 60 and I’ve lost one Terralux on the bus but not because it fell out. I’ve put down my sunglasses next to me on the bus and a few days later a young kid is wearing them. As far as length of the light, I always know the Terralux or Nitecore is in my pocket. When I took the AA Lumintop out I was constantly checking to make sure it was still in my pocket. The same goes for the Olight Mini that takes an 18350 I think. But at least the Olight can fit in my 5th pocket of my jeans and I know it’s not going anywhere. I also noticed the reviewer had a light that I thought took 2-AA or 2-14500s and that started me thinking about it.

Mishibar a quick answer to the length question: ...I always know it’s in my pocket and longer run time on 2-batteries.

I've been using a jetbeam rrt0 variable AA with an XPG for many years and it rules. great throw with a 14500 and can run on regular AA batteries in a pinch. perfect edc light because it goes from moonlight dim to 750ish lumens (don't quote me but it throws pretty nice)
