Streamlight Protac 1L, Eagletac D25C, or Lumintop Tool clicky. I prefer top button lights.

I also have an Olight, and a Nitecore that don’t see much use.
 
Lately my new stream light microstream usb. Loving it so far. Very light and pocket friendly with plenty of output for whatever I may encounter.
 
Got this Acebeam UC15 a few weeks ago and really like it so far. Kind of a novelty as it is advertised as a "keychain" light but a bit large for that. It has a standard led plus UV and red lights. Now the novel part; it runs on two 10440 lithiums (or AAAs) and is rated at 1000 lumens. Not sure about the rating but will go toe-to-toe with my 18650s. A little bigger than the

For me it is an Okluma DC1 and an HDS Rotary 3 O'clock high. At work, it has been a Malkoff MD2 M61N with a PK-PR1 as backup. Now that I got my HDS, both of those will be my backups with the HDS primary.
 
Hey JJ_Colt45 JJ_Colt45

I ended up needing a smaller light and got an Olight S1 Mini. The stupid clip wasn't secure enough and I lost the light. Found out my local guy is a Fenix dealer and got a sweet deal on this bad boy. I'm liking it so far.

I think you'll like it ... I now have 5 Fenix ... from small single AA model up to larger rechargables but they all have been great for me.

Been carrying it since Wednesday. I love the tailswitch and being able to slightly push it to activate. The clip carries well and is way more secure. I need to get a bigger light as well from them. Any suggestions?
 
depends how much bigger or brighter? ... I have one of their PD35 Tac lights and it's one of my favorites ... runs on one 18650 rechargable ... it's plenty bright has the same tailcap ...

they just released an UC35 that shows slight improvements in throw and lumens with some other features I haven't looked into it alot yet ...

But the PD35 Tac is still small enough to carry easily and plenty of brightness and features ...

the LD22 is a good light runs on 2AAs and has better brightness is thin but longer ...

if you want some bigger and brighter with longer throw the TK25 runs on one 18650 rechargable and offers an optional red and blue light modes ... the secondary tailcap is instant strobe ... or once the light is on it adjust brightness ...

The TK32 has longer throw ... the secondary tail switch is automatic red and green light both in bright and dimmer modes ... and is the brightness for the main white LED if you turn it on first ... and the throw is great ... it also runs on one 18650 rechargabe.

if you are looking for a slightly bigger light then what you have that is still small enough to carry and gives you brightness and a strobe feature the PD35 Tac or maybe look at the new UC35 ... I love my PD35 Tac.

here is an old picture I posted all Fenix except the one surefire goes from the bottom up (smallest to biggest) ... LD12 ... LD22 ... PD35 Tac ... a Surefire Fury in the middle ... TK25 ... TK35

It seems I've got flashlights stuffed everywhere but the Maratac AAA is by far my most carried.
I just picked up this new revision last week and put the prior iteration in storage just in case.
I work in a dark environment and need a light many times during my shifts.
Highly doubtful many folks have used one of these lights as much as I have and they just keep on performing.
Battery lasts a long time as well.

AAA - lumintop tool or worm in copper (both massaged by Vinh), Eiger Ultra X (copper), with Olight i3s EOS (copper) on key chain.

AA/14500 - less carry since falling for the above and below

18650 - TX25C2, Seraph body/XPG2

I also carried a lumitop tool aaa everyday until my wife stole it. Now she carry’s it! I also carry an HDS Rotary 200 or a zebralight sc5.
 
My pocket keychain flashlight companions , for many a year has been a duo: A Fenix E01 ( more recently with a lithium battery) and a Photon (yellow bulb) hooded Freedom. Two is one, etc. Primary use light is the Fenix, which at about 30 Lumens is as bright as necessary to get me out of a blacked out building or find a dropped key in a darkened theatre. The Photon is a backup for a dead battery or malfunction in the Fenix or for a blackout where I need a long burning low level of light. Added bonus of coloration helping to preserve night vision.
 
Really like this microstream usb I got last month. If I remove any tactical need this light is perfect for my edc use. Low is plenty bright for most stuff and then there is the option of high. Clip is easy to use and goes on a cap as well.
 
Goin' small for a while since they introduced the TINI in copper.
