I've got one of those in black. Works well. But I was concerned the button might accidentally get activated in my pocket. My example of the JetBeam Jet-U has a bezel that requires quite a bit of effort to turn. I like that.ultratac k18 ss

Questions on Peak Eigers --
1) do any of them allow tail-stand, candle-mode?
2) how does that QT pill affect the efficiency of the output? How many hours would I get on e.g. 0.2 lumens?
They do look solid and well-built, and I like supporting domestic mfr.s.
Thanks, but doesn't look like it will tail stand.Just order a bombproof USA made Peak Eiger. It'll last forever.
Looks good, thanks!Check out the Maratac AAA.

There's an option for the pocket body. Which is shorter in length and is flatThanks, but doesn't look like it will tail stand.
Thanks but the Fenix does not tail stand.I like the Fenix E01v2 for this request.

Mag Solitaire tailstands and is handy when indoors. Enough light to ceiling bounce.What ways will you use the tail standing feature of AAA light?
My P6 lights always fall over.
True, but it doesn't tail-stand very well, and falls over easily.Mag Solitaire tailstands and is handy when indoors. Enough light to ceiling bounce.
Odd, mine is stable, shall we say 95% as stable as standing it on its head. Do you have a keyring hoop attached to yours?True, but it doesn't tail-stand very well, and falls over easily.
No. If a tight, attached keyring was turned over to the outside of the light, that would increase the surface area of the tailcap and make for a steadier base. A Solitaire is just too thin and lightweight to tailstand if a person runs into the room, or if they accidentally bump the table.Odd, mine is stable, shall we say 95% as stable as standing it on its head.

To some extent isn't that true of any 1xAAA light though? That said, the floor is solid in my house, so running wouldn't matter, unless maybe a rhino at full charge. The sides/worktops in places like the kitchen are also pretty resistant to bumps.No. If a tight, attached keyring was turned over to the outside of the light, that would increase the surface area of the tailcap and make for a steadier base.

A wad ball of kids play dough works great on tile counters (you can thank my grandkids)With regard to tailstanding a AAA light, have you considered putting the light into a slender bud vase? Stability problem solved. (No need to thank me, I'm happy to be of service.)
An interesting thought. However I live in the UK and getting hold of American tech is not always easy. I once owned a Surefire E2D and an E1B. I wanted to buy an E2D tailcap for the E1B, but Surefire wouldn't sell it to me unless I was military or law enforcement. This was maybe 10 years ago and they quoted some US law as justification.sounds like you need a Peak Eiger or the Ultra
It'll never fail and is made in Arizona.
Runs on all the battery types and uses QTC for infinite modes.
The Chinese AAA are all disposables, which is why they are generally $20 and under.
