Pocket torch for daily carry.

I've been carrying this little AAA copper Maratac about ten years now and still going strong. :thumbsup:

Fenix E05 is my off-hours pocket light, I have both versions and they both do fine. Fenix E30R is my working day flashlight as I need more light and better runtime and such. Really like how durable the connector is for charging, and so far have not had any trouble. It does collect grinder sparks, but nothing an air compressor can't fix. Funny how much more light you need when you primarily use your flashlight during the day!
 
Usually I carry one in each front pocket, in case one runs low on battery, also that way whichever hand is free atm has access. I am often in confined spaces, so one of my most desired features is a very dim setting <10 lumens so I don't blind myself.

I just got this brass AAA from Drop yesterday, and quite like it so far.


The Nitchia LED it has is not as bright, but the tone of light it puts out is very warm and pleasant.
Really just a nice change of pace from a very blinding bright white CREE or something.


It looks very classy and a little traditional-ish, it's a great size, and the flush steel tail cap switch is nice too.

Rechargeable seemed like a real game changer and they are definitely great , but I really don't mind going back to using batteries.
 
I recently started wearing cargo pants again and found that the Duluth pants have a small sewn in spot in the corner of the right pants pocket that is perfect for a reasonable sized light to be carried. It fits perfectly and stays in place. So, I tried a couple of new Fenix lights for easy edc. First the PD 25. Rated at 550 lumen with the rechargeable battery. Rear tail cap activated and mode selection via the side button. Perfect light for this application Possibly not a tactical light but I wouldn’t like it shined in my eyes in the dark. Good all around choice. Of course I wanted more right? Tried out the E30R. Very similar in size to the pd but the head is slightly larger. Rated at 1600 lumen, uses a 18650 battery, which I like, and has a lockout feature. Still easily fits in the same corner. It’s Bright! Side switch controls all. Problem being, the lockout failed twice in a short time of carrying and it heated up “quite nicely“ in my pocket to alert me. Henceforth, I settled on the pd for my pocket and put the E30 in a holster in a bag. Both are sized for easy pocket carry IMHO. Here is a pic with my fisher space pen for perspective

Okay I'm going to throw you a little challenge.
For work I carry a Fenex PD32 ,they supply it and CR123 batteries clipped in back left pocket and one of these three Olights in my front pocket 1R2EOS or the pro version or i3E EOS . At home I carry either an Olights I3T EOS or I3T EOS on my nightstand there is an Olight Warrior pro X . My wife uses a Warrior mini mainly to find the dogs at night . I like the size of the Fenex PD32 and Olight Warrior mini and the rechargeable of the Olight. What do you offer in the size of those 2 lights and rechargeable . I am not stuck on Olights they just offer a decent light for the price (when bought during their sales and usually give me a free small light) show me something better @ a good price and I would try your products

Hi, Acebeam E70-AL is also one of the perfect go-to EDC for a variety of users and applications. This 5.05 inch flashlight is powered by one high capacity 21700 li-ion battery which ensures extended runtimes and powerful outputs. On max, the E70-AL can put out up to 4,600 lumens and on moonlight mode, it can run for 11 days.

I have too many lights and swap around what I carry often. Regardless of other edc’s I pretty much always carry a surefire since they can be counted on to work every time.

These have been my edc’s lately. Surefire C2 with a couple aftermarket parts and a malkoff M61W drop in, an old model 500 lumen surefire e2d (still very bright), and a maglite mini aa spectrum series warm led (great light!).

Surefire builds great lights. They were my first experience beyond mag light back in the incandescent times. I still have a couple of them with late model drop in’s. I thought 60 lumens in a fairly small light was magic!

Fenix e12 for almost 3 years now. It's too bad I can't sate my appetite for knives like I can with lights...
 
Or for when I want a super bright, long throw pocketable, I go with my Nitecore E4K. It's quite impressive, but not a keychain light.
