If you like your micro stream, you’ll love the preon p1 mk3.
AAA format, forward clicky, 2 mode basic UI. Amazing pocket clip. I think it was $60?

Right now, one of the best compact EDCs you can get is the [Emisar D3AA](https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-d3aa-14500-edc-led-flashlight.html). I’m partial to it being built with the Nichia 519A 5700K dedomed, but there are other options. The light can give you anywhere up to 2,000 lumens. You would want to grab the light with a few spare flat top [Vapcell H10](https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-d3aa-14500-edc-led-flashlight.html) 14500 batteries. But in a pinch, you can put any AA battery in there, NIMH, alklaline or lithium primary, as it’s dual fuel and will work. You can even put 14500 lithium-ion batteries that have built-in USB-C ports in them, [like this Lumintop battery](https://lumintoplighting.com/products/lumintop-14500-usb-type-c-rechargeable-li-ion-battery-37v-920mah-179), and recharge the battery that way.
“Best” is really subjective, however. Nowadays, you can have an EDC that throws out 100,000+ candela, or throws out 4000+ lumens. Or has dual/triple channels that can give you a UV light, red light, high CRI light all in one, such as the [triple channel Emisar D4K](https://intl-outdoor.com/triple-channel-emisar-d4k-1-21700-high-power-quad-edc-led-flashlight.html)…
It’s really a matter of your size/weight tolerance, your power-runtime needs, your amount of lumens and/or candela wants, your desired light’s temperature and color rendering capability, and what you’re wanting to use the light for…
Why so much money? Get yourself an Emisar D3AA, Wurkkos TS10, or even a Convoy S3 B35AM with an 18350 tube.
I like the Reylight Pineapple Mini. Nice design, nice UI, nice emitter, nice price, and many premium metal options.
EagTac D3A with SFT40
14500 capable. For some reason they only published numbers using AA tho.
Put a 10440 battery in it and you’ll get a Hyperstream.
