Lumintop L3 Mini Right-Angle Flashlight & Headlamp – 400LM Warm White AAA/10440 Powered IP68 Waterproof

16.6*13*64.5mm, 11.7g w/o headband or battery, 10440 and nimh compatible, twisty switch, 4 levels, $12.76 including headband but no battery, $15.96 with a 10440. Full sized (heavy) headband with ZL-style silicone bracket. Maybe that could be replaced with a thinner band or with shock cord. 3000K led which is an interesting choice. Shipping is $7.00 :(. It might be the same when buying more than one light.

Manker E02 is bigger (72.6mm long) and heavier (21.2g). It does have a pushbutton switch though.

I have a Manker EO2 II and am not that crazy about it, partly because of its size and partly because of its crazy UI. I might order the Lumintop since it's closer to what I want in this format, much less nonsense. The original 16 gram 1AA Zebralight H50 is still unmatched of course.

A twisty as a headlamp. In a silicone bracket. Good luck adjusting and controlling it. 😂

Also, 3lm lowest level, no shortcuts, unknown LED. Nope.

Zebralight H50 is similar twisty and it's great, one of my favorites. Yes the Lumintop LED makes me wonder though.

I like having a small headlamp for hanging from a shirt pocket. I didn't see a pocket clip mentioned on the page, though. That's kind of surprising, since the twisty switch makes it seem like a better pocket flashlight than a headlamp.

I've never been into right angle pocket lights, but you could probably put on a pocket clip from a random 1AAA light. I've often carried a 1AAA light in my jeans' watch pocket fwiw. Easy to access and no clip needed.
