Hi, I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I'm visually impaired with terrible night vision. I normally attach a Glo-toob Lithium to my dog to make her more visible to me and other people. Now I'm looking for a second, similar light, but preferably a bit more compact. It's for attaching to me, my dog or my daughter, purely for visibility.
What I've found so far is the Fenix CL05, the Nitecore LA10 and the Glo-toob AAA. What all of these lights have in common is that they don't require lithium cells to operate, and for my specific use case, that's a plus. Lithium primaries are fairly expensive here.
The pros and cons of the different lights:
Fenix CL05: cheap, multiple colors, very compact, decent blinky modes for visibility, but not a lot of modes or levels, not the best output*runtime
Nitecore LA10: I like the option of using it as a flashlight, AA gives better runtime, bright, but no proper flashing modes and 10 lumens isn't that low of a low, a bit expensive and I'm not sure how well the retracting diffuser holds up over time, especially on the dog
Glo-toob AAA: reasonable price, compact, presumably very durable, but no slow blinkies like the lithium version
Are there other alternatives that I should consider? What are your experiences with these lights?
