I currently have these links open and I do not know which ones to choose. Budget would be subjective so if I believe the price justifies the light I wouldn’t mind. Tips and suggestions to other products will be considered as well. (Updated my picks)
Currently looking at these:
Depending on how you mean to carry your EDC light, you might want to ditch all 1xAA options in favour of 1xAAA ones, that are much slimmer and pocketable. AA lights will make a bulge in your pocket, while AAA ones will just sit together with pants’s folds. If you carry the light in cargo pockets, belt holster or bag, then no problem with AA or even 18650 lights.
That said, I have both the Lumintop Tool and the DQG mini AAA, and find the latter perfect to put in the coin pocket. The Tool is a very nice light too, but longer and thus will not fit in the coin pocket.
I would vote for the “DQG slim AAA” light that’s in the picture too. It is really small for a tail switch light, and even beats most popular twisty lights in size too. I’ve been EDCing one of those for some time now, and really like it because of the tiny size, tail switch and the SS material.
Aha but normally I carry a larger light in my bag. And I don’t utilise the coin pocket at all since I wanna carry it together with my keys. I really like the look of that SS Fenix
Thrunite are quite difficult to source for cheap and I didn’t buy the maratac-copper-aaa-flashlight because they don’t really appeal to me. I have seen the maratac on massdrop a couple times. I was there much longer than here lol. But I didn’t jump the gun
I want a moonlight mode. I would really want something with a few modes to make it more versatile.
If possible, would you guys help me decide which light to get from the OP and the pros and cons for each one? I like the polished finish which is why I edited the OP to just polished lights
Twice the DQG slim clicky. (claims to be 140 lm, a Spanish guy says it’s about 120, you can find his review in the AAA flashlights section).
8+ hours on a NiMH on low (6-7 lm), gets too hot to touch after 20 minutes on Med and High.
