I've had similar results with my protac 2aa I think it is an all around good light. I dont cry when I loose one, I can find AA batteries anywhere, and I find the lenght helps it stay in my pocket. My last one was starting to flicker a bit here and there but it had been dropped about 40 feet off of some scaffolding and stuck right next to and on top of quite a few hot welds. I haven't experimented with a lot of the other brands I just found this one and I also like the protac 2l to work for me.

I liked the ProTac 2AA I purchased off Amazon. Good light, not terribly bulky, very reasonably priced. Carried it for a while, but ultimately it was just a tiny bit too long for the pocket of my mom jeans and would either poke me in the hip or try and pop out as a consequence.

If my usual jeans had deeper pockets, I'd likely still be carrying it. Gave it to my roommate and she's still using it around the house. She likes that it uses AA cells, which we usually keep on hand by the drawer-full.

Thanks for reading the review...I agree that it may be slightly too long, especially for "mom jeans" whatever those are.

The 1AA is pretty good, though half the lumens of the 2AA.

I am still trying to figure out a good way to have a mag and a flashlight secured in a back pocket.

I had a 1AA I carried for about 2 years. It even survived a trip through the wash. It was still going strong when I gifted it to my 6 year old nephew.

I've used a ProTac 1L since November 2011 and it's been great. Small enough for a pants pocket and bright enough to pull traffic stop duty when my primary light has gone dead (obviously not ideal). Recently the switch was malfunctioning and would work for momentary but of clicked on for constant would switch off. Since the switches are only warrantied for a couple years I broke down an bought a replacement. I really like these small Streamlights. I keep the light you reviewed on mine and my wife's vehicles.

I've had one for about two years. Started carrying it again recently after using the Quark AA for about a year. Unlike the Quark, the 2AA has shielding for the tailcap that keeps the light from going off in my pocket. Works well clipped to a MTDS Pocket Shield.

ETA: Also, zip-tie the pocket clip.

I got one for Christmas. So far I like it quite a bit but I haven't used it as hard as you have
