AAA lights are great, they are so small, and they dissapear in the pocket until you need it. But they all have one thing in common. They are all floody. All of them. The reflectors are just too small to focus the led's that is normally used in led lights. So i wonder why no one uses the tiny xq-e hi led for those tiny reflectors? It's a great led for a aaa light. The beam get's mutch tighter, so the beam profile looks more like the larger (still small edc) light's like example the v-10r. Got two lumintop tool ti's. One is still stock with a cool white xp-g2, and one that i have modded with a neutral white (4000K) xq-e hi. The modded one with a xq-e hi intensety led, has a little more than double the lux, even when its a neurtal tinted led. Messured with a lux meter app on my phone. It is not the best messuring device, so i wont come with lux numbers, but it shows a little more than twice the lux compared the the common xp-g2.
So im thinking, if someone made a hard driven aaa light with a smooth reflector that is designed to focus the xq-e hi, we wold have a tiny aaa thrower. Well not quite a thrower, but compared with ALL the other aaa lights on the marked, a huge step up throw wise. But no manufacterers use this light in their aaa lineup.
