This is for the Option 1 from the discussion thread.
The coolest little inexpensive light I own. This is a single AA powered Q5 emitter that puts out about 200 lumens and has a flood to throw feature that works by twisting the head or pulling it forward. You'll find these all over the place but most are Q3 emitters and put out a good bit less light.
Price point $15
I have found an outlet for Energizer ultimate lithium AA cells and can provide those for $8 for 4. This is as good a disposable battery as can be found and usually runs closer to $3 per cell than $2. These are one of the few AA batteries that is impervious to heat and cold and will maintain most of their charge for extended periods so perfect for glove box and emergency kits. They also happen to be the highest rated cell at 3000 mAh and support 2Amp continuous draw.
AA ultimate lithiums $8 / 4 ( please dont ask to buy amounts that are not multiples of 4).
I can fit 4 of the lights in a small flat rate box or 3 and a couple sets of batteries for $5.50 (They went up again)
