You're welcome Randy.

Actually the iTP A3 EOS you're looking at looks really good and is great value.

Just looked at the iTP website and I think the 96 lumen version is single mode and the 80 lumen version is 3 mode (the way I read it anyway). http://www.itplight.com/product_show.asp?id=197

It says you can run them on 10400 li-ions - which is neat.

Lithium primaries for AA and AAA are not a bad option either - they're a lot better than alkalines.

I carry a AAA light on my key chain but at 10 lumens it is not that bright - you may have just found me my next keychain light! I used to carry the P1D as my backup light on my belt for night shifts as a paramedic.

Cheers,

Harley.
