Asked elsewhere and got some good replies but figured second opinions can't hurt.
My primary light is a Jetbeam E10R, previously it was a Fenix PD22.
I've decided I really dislike two things about my Jetbeam. I hate the pocket clip and I really do not like side mounted on/off switch.
The clip slides around constantly. I tried to super glue it in place but eventually that stopped holding it in place and I'm just fed up with it.
So I'm looking for a light that's preferably along the lines of a rechargeable Fenix PD22, using standard Micro USB charging and not a proprietary cable.
I can go a little bigger but I'd prefer lights sized around a AA sized cell rather than 18650. Honestly my Nitecore TIP is enough light for me, I just prefer my primary be more hand filling and have longer run time between charges, plus the pocket clip. Being narrow is more important to me than being short, I hate how wide bodied flashlights feel clipped to my pockets.
Deep carry clip coming stock, quick access strobe and a super low lumen mode are also nice, but these are lower priorities.
Using parametrek with the following criteria:
features: with clip, micro-usb charging
switch: any of back, bottom, tail
body size: under 130mm
price: under $90
I have come up with the following options:
Atactical A1S neutral white
Rofis KR10
Thrunite TC12 V2
also someone suggested the following light and it seems nice enough:
Eagle Eye x5r
Since I have no experience with any of these brands I'm not really sure.
I just want to order something that will work, be reliable, have a clip that isn't going to slide around if I look at it funny, have a tailcap switch and charge by plugging a USB cable into it.
