Hi folks,

I'm looking for a small flash light for my every carry. I'm wondering if you have any recommendation for a small flashlight (less than 3 inches in length and about 3/4 inch in diameter) that uses either a AAA or AA battery and has pocket clip. My budget would be $50 or less.

Thanks
 
Lots of options for that price.

Eagletac D25a, Thrunite t10 or t10s, L3 L10 or L10C, ITP A2 EOS, 4 Stevens Q Mini AA, Maratac AA, Olight S10 would all be worth looking at.

For a little more check out the Zebralight SC52W L2 or Spark SF5.

You planning on running 10440 or 14500 cells?
 
Fenix E12, small, powerfull, rugged AA flashlight. I own one and can say that all the positive feedback on this light is true and I have nothing negative to say. It is a little longer than what you wanted (3.5"). But this light fits in my jeans condom pocket comfortably :thumbup:

Thanks for your feedback. I'm going with the Thrunite T10. I really like the size and the thumb switch and the pocket clip looks like it will withstand beating.

Cheers
 
The fenix LD01 is a nice little edc flashlight. Its twist on though. I use mine as a keychain light. There are also other smaller fenixes available that meet your requirements. I would say the olight s10 baton but those run on cr123a & 18650.

Lol,the power went out at about 5am and the tiny little Maratec AAA in my pocket turned total darkness into the Las Vegas strip.:D:thumbup:
 
Olight S15 Baton. It rocks!! Never thought I would use that magnet so much. Clip design has allowed me to clip it to the brim of my hat on numerous occasions for hands free use. I have had many edc flashlights, and the Baton series are easy favorites.
