Hi all... I'm currently in the market for a new EDC light...
I currently carry a Jetbeam BA20 that my daughter has fallen in love with so I have decided to give it to her and get myself an "upgrade"...
My wants/needs in a new light are:
18650 (I quit smoking 2years ago by vaping so I ALWAYS have a handful of these with me as well as already owning a charger etc...)
Pocket carry-able... 6" long max ,no fatter than say 1.5"
Tail clicky switch (what I'm used to)
Big lumens on high/turbo/whatever, 500+ would be sufficient but bigger is better if available....
Very low lumens on low/moonlight... Ideally less than 5
More flood than throw (although this isn't very important)
As far as ui, I've been liking what I've seen with a tail clicky for on/off and a twisty head for mode/level selection.. Again, it's what I'm familiar with from my current light
One thing I'd really like to see is to be able to "pre-select" high or low BEFORE I turn the light on...
My current Jetbeam (BA20) can do this by either tightening or loosening the head before you turn it on
Budget is $75ish
Current interests are the Jetbeam 3m pro and the eagletac d25lc2 tactical although there's some question in my mind regarding the "pocket-ability" of the Jetbeam...
My current setup, I need to carry 2 lights, my ba20 for "regular" usage (although I wish it was brighter) AND a small light for "moonlight" mode...
Thanks in advance..
Scott
