I'm looking for a new 2 x AA flashlight and considering the Maratac (rev 5). Never had a Maratac light, though I know they have been around for some time. It would be cool to hear from other users, especially regarding durability and the tint or if you have any other "I love it" vs "I hate it" notes to share.
Additional information: I have a Fenix LD20 and a Nitecore MT2A. I liked the Finix a lot, but it is pretty old, so I figured I could use an update for brightness/runtime gain's sake and 2 years ago I picked up the Nitecore, but I am not happy with the UI. So currently these two lights are seeing very little use (it is partially because for work I have moved to a headlamp and for EDC I have a smaller light), but I trust a reliable, non-nonsense 2 x AA is out there somewhere Is it the Maratac?
Even more additional information: I had an older Quark 2 x AA back in the day, too, it served me really well, but it got, erm, strategically misplaced. I know the brand got kind of relaunched and they in fact have a 2 x AA, but slightly annoyingly it seems like it only comes in a funky slate blue and not black, which I would prefer.
I'm open to ideas and suggestions. Thanks and have a great day.
