With the thin barrel, you have to be careful about which mount you use, but if you use a Fenix LD20 and take it off turbo mode when you don't need that much extra light, 2 AA batteries will last a long time. Only drawback is that when bumping through low-med-high modes, you'll have to hit it an extra time to dodge that SOS blink mode. No luck yet getting Fenix to remake it without that mode.
