They get decent reviews. I carry a JetBeam BA-10 as an EDC. My take on Lights. I like a single AA for everyday carry in the pocket, as it's easy to source batteries when I am out and about. I like a low 1 lumen Moonlite mode to fine lost things in a dark area where I don't need to flood the room
But still have over 100 lumen for outdoor stuff.
Since I live in a state that is cold half the year... CR123's and 18650 rechargeable are standard for the car/glove box as they hold up in cold weather unlike the Alkaline AA's. The AA's work fine if you keep a light in your pocket close to your body.
Big Fan of Fenix. I had a LD10 I carried for 3 years. now it's in the wife's purse.
I got tired of replacing CR123's, So I bought the 18650's (its whats in your laptops battery) and a recharger... save big time on buying batteries. With the newer Cree LED's you can easily push 400-600 lumens out of a light small enough to pocket carry. and the quality of lights like Fenix and jetBeam and Solarforce is quite good.
I still run only Surefires on my AR's... Looking to get one of the new Scout 600 light with the 500 lumen head... but am happy with 200 lumen.
Just my Humble .02.
