Lumintop Tool AA 2.0
This little light has been wonderful for me for over three years. It's always in my pocket. I have taken it on multiple thru hikes now. Clips onto my hat very securely. I wear it as a cycle commuting head light. It's just perfect. And affordable!
I should pick some of these up for gifts, especially since they come in more colors now. Are they dual fuel?
They will run off both a 14500 lithium battery or a standard AA battery. Although the output is much worse with a standard AA.
I always use the lithium ion battery. Amazon has a light and battery combo for 30$ usd.
Yeah, only concern is the tail switch aux light coming on when using 14500 and draining the battery when cell voltage isn't checked for a while. If you're gifting to normies, I would pull out the tail switch and put a screwdriver thru those LEDs, or just desolder it, or just tell them to keep it stored with tail cap unscrewed slightly.
