Took a minute to realize that the second to bottom pic was two lights, rather than one very gimmicky looking one ;).
If you talk to the Skilhunt guys, it would be great if they heard that some of us out here would really like an AA version of the E3A. 100 lumens like the E3A, 1 level, no lumenitis, no modes, no UI beyond on and off, minimal size, just the E3A again but bigger. The existing E2A gets all of this wrong.
One hour of runtime is more than enough for a single mode keychain light IMHO. Don't think skilhunt will expand in that direction.
TBH I'd be happy with a 1AA (1.5 volt not 14500) Anduril light, so I could configure it myself. I have an SP10 Pro that is supposed to use AA's, but it only works on 14500.
It also works with AA, except that yours is broken. ;)
There's also the Emisar D3AA that works with AA.
Thanks! I didn't realize that it used AA. I had somehow thought it was 14500-only, like the D2.
Added: I think I will order one! The 1lumens review is informative. There are some annoying issues but I like the 1.5V AA format, and the light is quite affordable. A dual fuel D3 would also be great.
