In search of a new carry light

If you get a maratac, your light will be jingling at the bottom of your pocket sooner or later. They have shit pocket clips. I've had I think 3 maratacs, and the clips broke on two of them. The other one I didn't have long enough for it to break, but I'm pretty confident that it would have.

Personally, I'd recommend something like a Thrunite T10S. It has some good modes, Thrunite is general an okay brand for the price, and it has a super sturdy looking pocket clip. It's a AA flashlight, though.

You could try a clip from a Fisher Bullet pen, but it has to bend a bit to fit, and I didn't find it to be particularly secure. batteryjunction.com also has Fenix AAA clips I think, but I think the retaining ring part or whatever you call the part that clips to the light is too tall to fit in the groove. Other than that, I'm not sure.

No, I actually really dislike maratacs. I'll never understand the point of putting the medium or high mode before low mode in the UI. I use Low more than anything, so maybe it's just me, but it seems counter intuitive to me to have a higher output come before a lower output.

I also think that they machine the threads to the head way too loosely. I always had trouble switching modes with one hand, because if you barely pull the head down, it moves the entire head down enough to accidentally make contact and quickly flick through all the modes without wanting to. If I'm holding it one handed, the butt of it is pressed into my palm, so it's kind of natural for my fingers to try and pull the entire head down when I'm just trying to twist it side to side. It's pretty finnicky, imo, and I hate it. Maratac might be my least favorite flashlight I've ever owned when you account for everything.

Since I've had luck with Fenix - anyone try a LD02?
Comes with a pocket clip, its a clicky, which I do like, and its 30 bucks on amazon shipped.

Then there is the LD09 which is a little larger. And 37 shipped.
