Seeking small reliable quality AAA EDC light for $20 or under

Thrunite Ti?

+1 That is my next purchase. I have fallen in love with the little aaa format.

Is the Thrunite TI rated OK for the 1.8v primary lithium (Eveready) cell? Specs I see mention NiMH and alkaline, 1.3-1.5v.
My pocket light is still an Arc AAA with a lithium cell; kind of odd that our flashlights are obsolete before the battery is dead, but so it goes.

I didn't see anything that distinguished the Olight i3 from the iTP A3 EOS, the latter of which can be found for under $20, so I kept that one on my list of options, but in the end I decided to go for the Thrunite Ti firefly. It should be in the mail right now.

Thanks all for your recommendations!

If you're willing to go single mode, look at the Streamlight Microstream. 28 lumens and it's under $20. I've had mine for over a year and it's very reliable.

+1 on the Streamlight Microstream. One of the few 1xAAA lights with a forward clicky...

Right now, I'm wavering between the ITP A3 EOS and the Thrunite Ti. Anyone have the runtimes on the Ti? for some reason I can't find it anywhere.

Here are a couple of reviews that contain some runtime test data:
