I've been carrying my new Pokelit for a week or so. I learned that for my hand size with not real large hands the Pokelit is barely long enough. IOW it has a tail switch so if I wrap my fingers around the light so I can push the tail button the head of the light is even with the other side of my hand. It seems like I wouldn't want it to be any shorter. I do have some shorter single CR123 lights (that I rarely use anymore) and they have been ok so maybe I'm off with this.
X2 the USB Streamlight. For most of the things I've had to do, it's a good match. Bright enough for looking at tiny print on car part boxes on the bottom shelf in a poorly lit area of the store, where you see things moving in the fringe area of the glow . . . and you have to reach back there to scan that bar code for inventory . . .
That model has some variants, the exterior finish denotes the default programming for the initial brightness, and with Ten Tap you can choose what you like. If not getting all the boxes checked, then moving up to their next size gets weapon light performance in the 18650 package.
Having been in this long enough we thought 40 lumens from a AAA in a military grade anodized housing was superb - no clip, either - I quit chasing the market when I arrived at the USB. Of course, I recently picked up a Kodiak Kub for a personal stocking stuffer and having fun with it getting hot after 30 seconds on turbo. I can see the attractiveness of 1000 lumens (or so). We have arrived at that stage binoculars hit when 8x50s became a standard - you certainly can get much bigger, but it fits 87% of what we do. Another ten years and we will likely see some shakeout of makers as the market consolidates and form factors become commodity standards.
