I've thought about the extra flashlight idea. I have a Fenix LD15 and have not been able to find a smaller AA flashlight out there. The only problem is this method eliminates the guaranteed freshness of the battery. For example, someone might come around and play with that flashlight, unbeknownst to me. Or I will play around with the flashlight because, well, it's there. I suppose I could disable the flashlight, but then I might as well just use a case... decisions, decisions.

Hahaha! That's me, too. I could never have a "spare" light and expect myself not to flash people in the eyes with it! laugh grin

There are some very nice inexpensive keychain flashlights out there, and in my case I use them to carry my spare AAA batteries.

An alternative is a tylenol cylinder container and duct tape for waterproofness. No keychain thingy, but you could probably make one or just put it in a pouch. Who needs all the keychain-able items anyway ; )

It's $21 with tax and shipping. I'll make my own.


$13.90 including shipping, and his service is unbeatable here.

No connection. Just long-time customer who values alternative to CC.

Yes! I got the Delrin battery locker (and other stuff) from there already. It's on my key chain right now. It's a nice specialty item for a person who prefers a single-cell flashlight.
