iTP EOS A3 1xAAA on high power vs EagleTac T20C2 vs MagCharger vs NiteCore D10 head to head beam shot time lapse video.
The 3/4 ounce iTP EOS A3 Upgrade edition (1xAAA battery) is a $20 keychain light which, for the average user, can potentially replace most household flashlights.This 3 mode light is brighter than a 3D maglite, burns longer on medium mode, and has an ultra low mode for dozens of hours of usable light, all while being powered by a single AAA battery.
The EagleTac T20C2 is a $90 "tactical" style light, running on 2xCR123 batteries or 1x18650 Li-ion (for increased runtime). Slightly fatter than a Maglite MiniMag 2xAA, this light produces 3 hours of VERY bright light
The Maglite MagCharger is a $90, old school, incandescent monster running a NiCd rechargeable battery pack. In the past, it was commonly found in police/fire/EMS vehicles. This light is not quite as bright as the much smaller EagleTac, but does offer decent runtimes for an incandescent light (~2 hours), and can be effectively wielded as a club.
The NiteCore D10 (Tribute Edition) is a $60, 1xAA pocket light. This light is nearly as bright on max as the MagCharger (with half the runtime), but only weighs 2.75 ounces and is only a little larger than the Maglite Solitaire 1xAAA. The light is multi-mode, and offers dozens of hours of usable light in a very small package.

@DocTacDad Can't think of a better little light for the money. The newest model sports an XPG emitter, so it's even a little brighter and more efficient. They are pretty tough, and very handy to have around. If you know where to buy, they can be had for ~$20. In my opinion, everyone should have one in their pocket, car, and house.
