EDC Flashlight

[TX OMFS]

I had a Fenix PD22UE that was my favorite EDC. Lost it. I don't think they make it anymore. Now I'm looking at the PD25.

Fenix PD25R Rechargeable LED Flashlight

The Fenix PD25R is an upgraded version of the original PD25 EDC flashlight. Its palm-sized design is shorter than 4 inches and packs a powerful punch, emitting an 800-lumen output with an 820-foot beam throw. With features such as a hidden USB Type-C charging port, two-way pocket clip, 5...

Anyone have a similar size & brightness flashlight I should consider before I buy a PD25?

Because I don't meet strange men in parking lots like @Moonpie and don't have the kinda cash that brings, I don't want to spend hundreds of $$.

Might be less output than what you are looking for but you cant go wrong with one of these. I've had to buy a couple because they are so easy to lose but thats also why they are so easy to carry. Charges with usb cord.

Amazon product ASIN B07DLZXZV1

I guess whatever it is that moonpie does with strange men in parking lots, he must be pretty good at it if it earns him big bucks

I used to carry one of these but it was annoyingly fat. It was harder for me to get into the pocket for other stuff. Super bright though and magnetic cap/charging was a plus.

I own a shit load of SureFire lights of various Lumens, size & price. Friend of mine I got a job at the renfest listen to me & the buddy We work for bitch about SureFire lights we lost there. 2 weeks later he handed out Steamline Protects. I don’t care for the strobe and 3 way switch, but like he said you won’t feel bad about loosing it!

I'm a fan of Streamlight and SureFire products personally. Used them professionally and in my daily carry for years.

Amazon product ASIN B01G75P1SC
It isn't rated as high, lumen wise as the Fenix you posted, but its less expensive and similarly sized. Will run off either CR123 or AA batteries.

Should've added this to my earlier post, but whatever..

THIS is my EDC light.

Streamlight PolyTac X | Tactical Gear Superstore | TacticalGear.com

The PolyTac X includes two CR123A lithium batteries. It features Multi-Fuel innovation that allows them to accept Streamlight’s SL-B26 (18650) USB battery or CR123A lithium batteries, ensuring you’ll always have a beam when you need it.

tacticalgear.com

Its a tad bigger than the Fenix you posted, but much higher lumen (650) and uses rechargable lithium ion batteries, or CR123A's. Runtime is excellent, you can program it for high, low, strobe, etc. I just programmed mine for max brightness, period. I don't mess with the high/low stuff, or strobe.

The last few lights I've purchased have been Olights. I've been running a SR2 Baton & have been happy with it. The wife liked it so much i got her one.
Its 1000lums

In addition to a Mag light solitaire I carry one of these.

Especially when a 6 D cell mag light looks out of place.

I'm sure olight and streamlight are fine, I don't like being gouged for a fricking flashlight. This lumintop cost 20 dollars and does the job as good or better.

My EDC (walking the dog at night) is a Thorfire VG-10 $20. (Chinese & runs on one 18650 Li-ion) review at Review: Thorfire VG10 Tactical Light : flashlight (reddit.com) 4 brightness levels, no strobe. Max is 1100 Chinese lumens. No longer available, replaced by VG-15 circa mid-2019.

ThruNite has a package deal going now for a W1 edc light and a H01 headlamp for $30. I bought one a while back and have been carrying the W1 and like it. It's small and bright. You can carry H01 as well if preferable.

 

[DyeF9]

I have a Fenix PD35, it's been great. Would definitely buy it again if I lost it
