So I am looking to replace the light I keep in my car GHB. Currently I have a Surefire G2X (which I love) along with a 6 battery caddy with primaries in it. I am looking to change the SF out for a single AA flashlight. Why? The simple answer is: I'm bored with it and want a new light. The smart sounding answer is: I think it makes sense to have a light which takes common batteries in the GHB because of availability if I ever have to "get home".
I have the OLight S1 Baton and S1R and love them both, so I was leaning toward the S1A, but I recently bought some batteries from Fenix and am very intrigued with the Fenix LD12 2017 Edition. I originally had the Streamlight 1L-1AA in the group as well, but it seems almost gimmicky and I am weary of the durability of the springs combined with the play a AA cell has in the light. Any input on it is welcome as well.
I am not looking for the brightest flashlight on the face of the earth, but a light which can coax decent runtimes out of a AA battery in the 30 to 50 lumen range. And having bright options and low options are always a good thing. What are the options of these lights and is there another contender you would throw in there in the +\-$50 range?
