Upfront, I've got a number of 10440-capable lights.
But, I'm also realistic: output is impressive, but runtimes are ridiculously short.
Also, current draws are really scary; if you seriously wanna run 10440, invest in IMR cells, not the crap-*** ChinaFire junk. (Besides the safety factor, IMR cells are much more tolerant of over discharge, which is almost inevitable with these lights' runtimes.)
That said...
Here's my list of AAA lights and their 10440 compatibility, either by manufacturer blessing, or both mine and others' reports in the field.
Factory Blessed:
Generally Considered Compatible:

Oh HAIL No!!!

Here's my list of AAA lights and their 10440 compatibility, either by manufacturer blessing, or both mine and others' reports in the field.
Factory Blessed:
- Lumapower EDC LM21 (runs like a champ on Efest IMR, and the ONLY forward-clicky I know of)
- Thrunite Ti3 (Aluminum! excellent performer on Efest IMR)
- UltraTac K18 (recommend aluminum, not stainless, for heat dissipation reasons)
- DQG Tiny III "clicky" (more like mushy, but impressive output for it's size)
- BLF/SingFire SF-348 (single mode, but stylish and slim)
Generally Considered Compatible:
- Streamlight Microstream • tested by everybody and their canine (single mode, but great thrower)
- Maratac AAA rev 2 • tested by everybody and their canine (ancient but STILL hard to beat)
- 4Sevens Preon 1 v1 • tested by everybody and their canine
- Lumintop Tool, v1 and v2 • tested on CPF with Efest IMR (one of my favorites!)
- Spotlight Shifter 1 • can't find corroborating reports, but I've done it for two years now
Questionable:
- Klarus MiX6 SS • not recommended, but some reports on CPF that it works; I use LiFePO4, no problem
- Thrunite Ti3 HI Titanium • reports of >poof< on 3.7V; Soshine 3.2 LiFePO4 works great for me
- ThorFire PF03 • reports of >poof< on 3.7V; Soshine 3.2 LiFePO4 works great for me
Oh HAIL No!!!
- DQG Tiny II (original, no tail magnet, GITD dot on tail)
