I know I own a few other cheap 1xAAA lights, but here are the ones I have to hand and rate highly enough to carry.

L-R: Hugsby XP-1 (the best bang for buck light I own), Leatherman Monarch 300, Thrunite Ti 2-mode, Rare red Fenix L0D, Classic Fenix E01, Thrunite Ti3 NW, and Fenix E05 single mode.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Do you have a post somewhere like this of 1xAA flashlights?

Humm, I suspect something is missing, but the fact I'm not at all certain is a little worrying. :-[

My 1xAA lights.


L-R:  Cheap but surprisingly good from Life Gear, Eagletac P10A, Jetbeam Jet-1 Pro V3.0, Romisen something-or-other, Eagletac P25A Clicky (AKA "The King"), Gerber Infinity, Thrunite T10 (2012 twisty version that has little to do with the new one).

The Jetbeam is a crackingly good light that I'd carry a lot more is it was a little slimmer.

I think it's all I have right now.  There are others that I used to own but gave away to friends and family.

Oops, I didn't even think to include my 2xAAA lights. 

I've got on of the Tank007 PA02 as well Rob.  Tell me though, does yours have problems with the mode sequencing?  With mine it ALWAYS steps to the next level after you switch it off and on again.  So; switch it off in Low, wait as long as you like, switch it on again and it'll go to Medium.  Switch it off again, wait 2 seconds or 2 days and the next time you switch it on it'll come on in High.  I'd like it if not for this very odd arrangement. :shrug:

My PA02 is single mode, but the PA01 is multi mode. The PA01 does have memory and step to the next mode from previous next time, but I thought the sequence was High, Medium, Low. Something odd about the physical design, the clip can be reversed on the PA02 but not on the 1. But for the price I paid it is quite good

You might well be right on the mode sequence, I've not tried mine in a good while.

Thought I had more AAAs than this but the rest are AA.



LED Lenser A3. not the brightest lite in the world, but it goes forever;

Ultrafire LZZ-06  with a gently driven XP-E Q5. Hi-Lo modes, twistie. Just got this yesterday, looks to be okay quality but even if it spec's 10440 LiON cells it is just a little too short to take protected cells. But it goes well enough on a NiMH;

TrustFire F23 Stainless Steel with a XP-E Q3 emitter. 3 mode Hi-Lo-strobe; Rides in the side pocket of my Wave mkII's pouch.

Who hasn't got a MagLite Solitaire? This one is from my SwissChamp SOS kit.

Also have a 3xAAA "PopLite" LedLenser clone at work.

How does that Lumapower behave? Long ago I was dying for one, but couldn't find it at proper shipping price anywhere. Later I got the Lumintop and LD02, but the Lumapower was the first AAA clicky I fell in love with.

It was my 3rd aaa light. I was a bit smitten with the glowing o-ring in the head and the glowing clicky cover...just had to have it. Out of the box it didn't work with a lithium battery. I had to put a little piece of solder between the button on the battery and the head of the light to get it working.
Functioned well after that but the switch failed in less than a year.  I contacted Lumapower and Ricky (I think) sent me a replacement switch for just the cost of shipping. All has been well since then, no solder needed.
I have never tried it with a rechargable though.
Low-medium-high are comparable to the others. I think the Maratac aaa is my favorite though.

You're welcome.  I bought the Lumintop after asking how you liked it. It is a nice little light.

I've been eying up the Olight S1 Baton lately.  Not aaaa light, but it may be my next purchase.

I was also looking at some Baton not long ago, but for some reason I don't think I'll like that single smart-button thingie... mostly because it's on the side.
