I've owned AA minimag lights for years and swore by them. I recently have had to put my AA mag lights to daily use. I got so that I felt I didn't get enough light from it so the other day, during a wal-mart run I decided to see what they had in the way of small lights. I came across a Dorcey 1 watt LED, powered by three AAAs. I figured for the price (12-14 bucks) it wouldn't hurt to try. Lots more light, belt clip, and on-off switch on cap. Ok it doesn't focus but the amount of light makes up for it. I'm replacing all my AA mini mag lights with this light.
