Recommendations for a simple on/off EDC light (lemm.ee)

Looking for a quality light in a compact form factor and most importantly no extra modes. I want a single button that turns the light on and off. No brightness settings and for the love of god no strobe mode and no colors.

I think the micro stream AAA might have just one mode but would have to check. It's kind of expensive for a bare bones 1aaa light

Those super cheap 3aaa Home Depot and similar lights are actually usable though crappy. You might be able to run from an 18650.

It does. It's a bad flashlight though. Everything (LED, optics, switch, threads) is different (worse) from the USB model, which I still wouldn't class as a good flashlight.
