They should work with EBL's 1.6V Nickel-Zinc AA cells. EBL has a package deal of 8 Ni-Zn cells and 8 bay charger for $29.99. I can verify these lights work great with EBL's 1.5V Li-Ion AA's, the red ones that don't have the built in USB charge port.
The catch with both of those types of EBL cells is they're *extremely popular* and sell out fast so most of the time one must put in a pre-order and wait for the slow boat from China to bring more.
Olight has the 2xAAA i3T Plus in Black, Blue, OD Green, and Ancient Bamboo. Pricing is a bit odd for these. Black is $29.95, Blue is $32.95, OD Green is $29.99, and Ancient Bamboo is $49.95 because it's copper formed, textured, and patinated to sort of look like a piece of bamboo.
Both of these lights (and their single cell, non-Plus versions) have tail switches and two brightness levels. Click or half press once for low, click or half press again within a short time for full brightness. With just a little practice it's easy to half press, release then click on for high.
If you're not averse to busting the budget just a bit, $58 gets the venerable S1R Baton 2 in black. 1,000 lumens, 145 meter beam distance, magnetic USB charger cord. One nifty feature of the magnetic charging is if you drop the light just dangle the charger cord near it and *snap* then pick it up without having to bend any body parts to get a hand down to the ground or floor.
