I EDCed my Vinh modded Foursevens Mini Tubro with 219c and DC-fix for the last several days. I really like this light; it’s well build, good looking, bright and I got it as a present. It’s the largest that I ever carry over my neck. Smaller lights are the most comfortable when I hang them on very short strings but this one is the opposite - I have it down near the belly. It makes a big bulge under my shirt but I don’t care.
Today I went back to Skywolfeye B16 (which is still stock BTW). The first use - wow, how I love the clean and uniform beam…
There are many things that could be improved…tint is bad, CRI is bad, UI is bad, switch could be quieter….but I hesitate with modding it partially because I love the stock beam so much and I’m afraid of breaking it - or of making it worse.
Bumper sticker, coffee mug, tee shirt, baseball cap: "I carry my edc lights every day."
I feel happiest having three lights on me at almost all times, especially when I am not asleep or in the shower.
My current lineup:
Nightwatch NSX53, 3 x XHP 50.2, 8,000 lumen, 375 meters. I am so excited about this lights' beam profile and performance to size ratio every time I unleash it.
Emisar D4V2, quad W2.1, 4,020 lumens, 429 meters with throw optics. Currently this is my favorite side switch edc.
Lumintop FW4A, quad W2, throw optic. 3,850 lumens, 456 meters throw. Currently the most compact high power single 18650 flashlight, I think. Currently this is my favorite mouth hold light.
The DQG Tiny 18650 is still riding in the pocket and a TIP 2 with SST20 4000k on the key ring. I switch it up once in a while. I go in spurts. One light for a few months then a switch. No rhyme or reason really. I just wake up one day and decide a different light is in order. My trusty Olight M18 with Luxeon V2 is begging for a carrying so I better carry it for a few days.
WELL given I didn’t leave my house today I had carried my MS18 around throughout most of my day to the odd looks my family had given me for the odd display of machismo…… also with this excessive amount of time in lockdown I’ve had thoughts of getting a bandolier for shotgun rounds BUT replacing them with 18650 cells……
Rotates…… sad lol.
Fw3a, S41 and the little fatty BC15 - this less so as I dislike the ui mainly, the greenish tint I can live with just, but the ui…. shame I like the light too
This morning my DQG Slim AA walked me out to the kitchen while the house was still dark.
With COVID-19 shelter-in-place, I’m stuck home all day, so I switch it up several times per day…
