. Check out the FourSevens Atom AO. The light is a 1xAAA (AAA eneloop in mine) which has a floody beam with no noticeable artifacts. I like it for close stuff.

I've been wearing one around the house on a neck lanyard in the early AM just to have a light at the ready when I don't want to turn house lights on. I can turn it on hanging from my neck so it points straight down and it puts a nice even light at my feet and in front of me, hands free. Team it with a headlamp that points wear you look and you're covered.

I forgot about the neck lanyards. When I have to travel at night, I have LRI Photon Freedom Covert on a short breakaway neck lanyard. I've tried my Fenix E05, but I've found it a bit clunky.

I'm not sure about the E05, but the Atom AO is significantly smaller than the Fenix E01 which I have. The light is about 1/2" longer than a AAA battery.

I'm running a Nitecore TIP as my preferred hotel flashlight. Small, inexpensive, lightweight, and USB rechargeable, the low mode is one lumen. I put it on charge when I get out of bed and it's full up before I get in the shower.

Another great choice if you want something that runs readily-available batteries is the Thrunite Ti Titanium. It has a half-lumen Firefly mode.

There are other great choices.

Thanks. I've recently switched to 1xAAA lights for pocket carry and the Thrunite Ti5T XP-L NW looked very interesting. The cool white version has a bit more output, but the neutral white (NW) has better color rendition imo.

Thanks Chaos, the Ti5T is a great pocket light. It's about 60% longer than the FourSevens Atom A0. The Firefly mode is dimmer than the Moonlight settings I've used before. It works fine if it is really dark, but the next mode at 10 lumens is usable even in dim ambient light. The next mode at 130 lumens is probably great for short periods, but imo is too bright for continued use considering the mAh capacity of an Eneloop AAA.

Note: For those who have heard that the Ti5T is really stainless steel because it's magnetic, the light is magnetic if a battery is loaded. Take the battery out and the only thing magnetic is the pocket clip. The body appears to be titanium, as stated on the Thrunite Ti5T web page.

Mine is definitely titanium .

As I recall you also mentioned the ThruNite TN12 a while back. I like that light a lot and now I have four lights running 18650's

That said, any light is better than none; a Fenix E01 could provide enough to get you to an escape route.

There are other great choices. Like the Fenix LD02 = 100, 25, and 8 lumens from a AAA battery. The great advantage of this, or any other small light in this category, is that is can be with you constantly. Comes in handy very frequently.....

Responding to alarms for a living has given me a lot of experience on the topic. If there IS a significant fire you'll be outside for a VERY long time, most likely counted in days not hours.

I've been through a few evacuations of my own. I was in a beach bungalow on Christmas Island (south of Hawaii on the equator) when the light switch shorted and ignited the wall. Got that one extinguished by myself. Good thing too as the island doesn't have a fire department. I did move to an un-burnt bungalow!

I had to evacuate my hotel in Whistler for an alarm -- it was about 10 degrees F outside. I was glad to have my heavy boots and parka near the door ready to go. There were some people that went outside without so much as a jacket.

Clothes are kept ready including shoes; passport and other items like wallet are kept in my jacket pocket ready to grab on the way out the door.

On the nightstand I keep an LED flood type flashlight (like this: https://www.amazon.com/Nebo-Larry-Pocket...cket+work+light) and a Streamlight in my pants pocket (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015UC17E/ref...574722&sr=2)
