'''[[iTP]] A3 EOS Upgraded''' [[File:Itpa3eos.jpg|thumb|iTP A3 EOS]]3-mode (MLH) 1xAAA twisty with Cree XP-E R2. Got a second generation black one after misplacing the original (which I later found and sold to my brother). The replacement has LMH, tighter threads (no flashing), and better PWM. Also got a used titanium version of the original. | '''[[iTP]] A3 EOS Upgraded''' [[File:Itpa3eos.jpg|thumb|iTP A3 EOS]]3-mode (MLH) 1xAAA twisty with Cree XP-E R2.

'''Lumapower MRV clone''' Bought this host only from Manafont and added a neutral XM-L T5 and 2.8A NANJG driver set to 3 modes. Nice thrower, very similar to Ultrafire C8. | |||

'''[[Sunwayman]] V10A''' 1xAA or 1x14500 light with a magnetic control ring controlling output that varies from a fraction of a lumen to nearly 300 lumens on a li-ion battery (140 lumens on AA). Got a good deal on this from DinoDirect, but still my most expensive light. [http://budgetlightforum.com/node/5150 My review]. | |||
'''Tank007 E07 BLF Edition''' 1xAA twisty with Osram Golden Dragon Plus LED. The BLF Edition has 3 non-flashy modes, including a nice Low. Memory sets a few seconds after the light is off. [http://budgetlightforum.com/node/5247 My review]. | |||
'''<STRIKE>TrustFire XP-E F23</STRIKE>''' 1xAAA 3-mode (LHS) stainless steel light with mode memory. Good dog walking light. Not much runtime on a 10440 (15 minutes or less).

'''UltraFire X1''' 1x18650 3-mode (High, Low, Strobe) light with Cree XR-E Q5 from Manafont. Body is like a larger version of the AKOray K-106.

'''UniqueFire UF-2100''' 1x18650 3-mode XM-L T6 from a DinoDirect group buy. Really bright compact light drawing over 3 amps on High. Default modes are High, Low, and Strobe, but the driver can be modified for 5 modes, adding a much needed Medium and much less useful SOS. [http://budgetlightforum.com/node/5118 My review]. | |||

'''18650''' - XTAR 2600mAh. These are pretty decent batteries, but not much more expensive than Trustfires. Bought from szwholesale via a BLF group buy. $13.50 a pair. | |||

'''<U>NANJG 105</U>''' 8x7135 driver advertised at KD as 1100mA, but should be 2800mA. Seems similar to the Shiningbeam 2.8A driver, though Shiningbeam is now selling a slightly different version that appears to be a 106. Has stars on the back so you can set mode groups. 5 modes by default but can be set to 3-mode L-M-H with memory.

'''NANJG 112A''' 0.9-4.2V 1000mA driver from KD with stars on the back that can be soldered to provide different modes. Supposedly buck/boost with an inductor. Seems well-regulated since current draw increases as voltage of li-ion decreases, but current draw declines with voltage on 1.2V NiMH. Works with AA or li-ion, but with 2xAA the low-voltage warning will cause flashing. 3-mode grouping has low and medium pretty close together. Low mode does not seem to use PWM.
