Looking for a quality light in a compact form factor and most importantly no extra modes. I want a single button that turns the light on and off. No brightness settings and for the love of god no strobe mode and no colors.

    Maybe the UltraFire SK68, although it’s a little chonky for a single AA light. Their SP10 is also single mode and is a AAA light, so it’s quite small. Not terribly powerful, but given how many people have been satisfied with a dinky old Maglite Solitaire and its christmas tree light bulb, it may be plenty for your purposes anyway.

    You’re right that it is actually remarkably difficult to find a modern single-AA-ish sized EDC light that hasn’t got multiple modes. It’s easy if you want to get one of those piece of shit 3xAAA “zoomies,” but they’re… well, pieces of shit.

    I’m interested to see what other flashlight nerds can come up with that I haven’t thought of.

      Hmm, SK68 appears to be discontinued or at least de-listed from the UltraFire website unfortunately. Seems the replacement model is the SK98 which does have 3 modes including strobe, ugh.

      The SP10 looks promising though. Thank you.
