How many lumens is your edc?

[potpot]

For me, around 25 lumens has been more than enough for most of my daily usage even though my light can go higher.

Well someone is cranky. I may have been too general to say that and I am sorry. What I was only trying to say is that with my specific use(Light is only used very moderately.Light is not used for work) , a 100 is pretty much enough and it may not be applicable to all but at least some have the same view.

Like as you said, "enough" is a subjective word meaning it has a different value depending on the person. For you, enough = "When we can have daylight from a pocket sized light, in a large enough pool so as to allow our eyes to use it all, with high CRI so that the objects are rendered accurately".
For me, enough = 100.

That is all I have to say. I may or may not read the next "novel" someone is going to post but I would not reply anymore. The OP asked a question and I just answered from my POV.

Fenix TK70: 2200 Lumens

Oh, my! It's awesome fore an EDC.

Best carried with a clip!

 

[ikeyballz]

I EDC a Quark AA running on 14505...So pretty much the same specs as the Quark 123: 0.2 to 205 Lumens. Usually kept at the 205L.

Eagletac D25CL2 is my EDC or the 4Sevens Quark X 123.

 

[Erzengel]

120
The complete answer is to short for this forum :laughing:.

ITPA3 - 1.5L, 25L, 75L
Quark AAT - 2L, 120L (eneloop)
Ako-Ray K109 - 15L, 50L, 135L (ball-park estimates)
L1T - 15L, 95L

I carry an EagleTac D25C (clicky-verted) in my pocket (sometimes in holster) most everywhere I go. 209lm OTF on High (Turbo), but with great Low & Med settings that I use quite a lot as well. Great portability and a decent variety of usable light outputs.


How does one EDC a Fenix TK70 anyway? Use it as a walking stick???

 

[jorn]

I always got my "lego" quark p0 with a neutral dqg pill. 3 and 60 lumens with neutral tinted pure
flood

 

[benvr8]

Maratac 80 lumens

Love your EDC setup. Did you get th Maratac light from CountyComm? It looks like one of their titanium cord clutches on your keyring the also. I have two of their Maratac lights and love them both. The copper one is by far the coolest though.

My edc is typically about 120 lumens, but I will often carry a little AAA leatherman light which I think puts out maybe 12 lumens. They are both bright enough for everything I've come across.

 

[Bigpal]

I am asking myself this question and think I am going with EagleTac D25LC2. It's OTF lumens are 548/370/50/5. The way I see it is a more powerful flashlight can always get dimmer, but not the other way around. It's compact and even if I don't need them, the extra lumens will be there.

 

[PaleBlueDot]

Quark Mini 123 in Neutral White and a slightly bigger Quark AA(2) in my bag.. Not sure how many lumens they are but they are plenty bright enough for anything I have had to do.

 

[HotWire]

I carry a Peak Vesuvius running on 10440. It's very bright. I don't know the max. I also carry a Lumipower powered by the same battery. I often carry my Preon 2 as well. I'm never far from other lights should I need them. An EDC is very handy.

 

[liveris flashlights]

I have a lot of EDC flashlights between 265 and 500 lumens. My favorite one is the Nitecore IFE2 (max 345 lumen) because is adjustable from firefly to the max output.

 

[JurT]

My EDC is currently the m3 with turbo head and it has now 380 lumens. I can switch to 450 lumens. I carry it in v71 polymer holster.

 

[Monocrom]

Main EDC light is usually one of several models pushing 200+ lumens. Currently a Milky-modded SureFire L1.

 

[Child of Rawls]

Zodiac modded Preon 1=80 lumens
Muyshondt Aeon=114 lumens
Lumipower incendio XML on RCRs=very bright like 400 on high
McGizmo Haiku=140 lumens

 

[HaileStorm]

My pocket edc is the xt2c which is 470lm. I find Klarus lights great for edc since there's access to strobe in any mode and I like to leave my lights on high when switched on.

I also have my xt11 in my bag which is at 600lm and my Romisen rc-t602 in my car's console pushing "1000lm" according to the manufacturer.

Recently, I started carrying a Thrunite Ti "firefly" as my EDC. It's rated at 60 lumens (high) and 0.04 lumens (low). As a small AAA light, it fits well in my pants pocket; since I work in a well-lighted office building, I really don't need a monster light for an EDC. Currently, I have the Thrunite 60/3 lumen model on order ($10.99 special). When that arrives, I'll probably start to carry that instead, and leave the "firefly" model on my nightstand.

 

[fyrstormer]

About 300 lumens maximum, about 0.003 lumens minimum. A difference on the order of 100,000x seems like a wide-enough range of adjustment to me.
