AA/14500 lights have made major technical strides from a few years ago. The new options from Skilhunt and Emisar are especially compelling even if they look like something that could have existed some time back. Zebralight, a former leader in that field has regressed by removing 14500 support.
I don’t think Zebralight has an efficiency advantage in medium and high modes over other brands using boost drivers and similar LEDs. They probably are still the best at running ultra-low modes efficiently.
Flashlight makers using bespoke LEDs is also a fairly recent development, with options from Emisar/Noctigon, Fireflies, Nitecore, and Skilhunt.
