The P7 would be better but I have never seen one that uses AA batteries. The R5 might be better but hard to get in time (I think).

This light also can use 3-aaa cells / 18650'S / and CR123's, lots of battery options with 1 light.. Have not done runtime test on 3aaa cells.. The light is built like a tank, little big for helmet light but is still doable..
The flash mode is very useful, about 120 flashes per minute, not close to seizure inducing like many other lights..

I saw you recommend that light in another thread. It looks interesting. I wonder that the shipping time from Shining Beam is.
