So I’ve been looking at flashlights again. I have a very specific idea about what I want. Currently my EDC light is a Maratac AAA Gen 1.
– I want a light with a more modern and efficient LED
– A neutral or warm tint (I’m not a tint snob but I’m not a fan of blue or green tints)
– A well defined hotspot with a decent amount of spill
– Regulated modes vs PWM would be preferred
– Twisty (though I might consider a clickey)
– Aluminium body, absolutely no Titanium but might consider copper or brass
– Ability to tail stand
– lanyard attachment point is a plus, though I don’t care about a pocket clip
– Ability to run AAA and 10440 batteries without getting super hot on high
– MLH sequence is highly preferred (seems to be really hard to find)
– Either no or hidden disco modes
Basically if the current Gen Maratac supported 10440 cells that would be about perfect. Any ideas, or is this just a pipe dream?
