'''TrustFire R5-A3''' 1xAA 3-mode light with a Cree XP-G R5 and tail clicky, [http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39062~r.72863811 $18.11] at DealExtreme or [http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/trustfire-r5a3-3mode-memory-led-flashlight-1aa-p-5498 $17.60] at Manafont. Modes are High, Low (early versions had more of a Medium than Low), and Strobe. Also works with lithium-ion batteries, but the R5 should be quite bright on a single AA NiMH. | '''TrustFire R5-A3''' 1xAA 3-mode light with a Cree XP-G R5 and tail clicky, [http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39062~r.72863811 $18.11] at DealExtreme, [http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=10582 $14.70] at KaiDomain, or [http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/trustfire-r5a3-3mode-memory-led-flashlight-1aa-p-5498 $17.60] at Manafont.

'''[[Solarforce]] L2-i''' - This 3xAAA light lets you get started in [[P60]] drop-ins without worrying about lithium-ion batteries. It isn't a great power source, but it works. You can get this light including a 3-mode low voltage Cree XP-G drop-in for about $25 on a decent sale at [http://www.solarforce-sales.com Solarforce Sales]. These lights are little too big for a pants pocket, but fit well in a holster or coat pocket. They also have the L2r which takes 2 AA batteries. There aren't many budget choices in this size that don't require lithium-ion or CR123A batteries, but the Solarforce is pretty inexpensive. | '''[[Solarforce]] L2-i''' - This 3xAAA light lets you get started in [[P60]] drop-ins without worrying about lithium-ion batteries.
