    NiteCore EX11.2 XP-G R5 200 Lumen - Good EDC

    I have bought a good number of EDC lights, but keep coming back to two of them as my favorites: Fenix PD20 and the Thrunite Nuetron 1C. Fenix is my first choice. Super compact, well made, pocket clip, 4 brightness levels plus strobe & SOS. 180 lumens max. Slight OP reflector so you get a...

    Nitecore Explorer Series (EC1, EC2, EA1, EA2)

    Now that you mention it, I do believe there is a difference in the beam in the EC1 I just got versus the one I had originally received. The edge of the hotspot on the first one I got was super crisp. Very sharp and distinct edge of hot spot versus spill. My replacement light that is slight...

    How many lumens is your edc?

    Definitely have two EDC favorites, and believe me, I have tried a lot of them. First choice is Fenix pd20. Incredible blend of power and compactness. 9-190 lumens with 4 levels of brightness plus strobe and SOS. Nice pocket clip so it goes everywhere with me. Best light for 90% of...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    My wife nudged me in bed with the lights out and asked for one of my flashlights. She dropped her water bottle and needed light. Gave her my Fenix PD20. Even on low (9 lumens) was too bright. Need one with a moonlight mode.....
