Best 1 x CR123 Light

[loc]

I'm looking for a light to use in my truck in case of an emergency. This same light I would also like to pocket carry if needed. This same light I would also like to use in my off hand if needed to be used with a firearm.

Kinda an all around light. I'm assuming a multi mode light that would have a long run time in an emergency but bright enough to be used in my off gun hand if the SHF situation.

Thrunite neutron C1 and 4seven mini 123. Both with great reviews. I picked the 1C and put an order in this afternoon.

My vote goes to the Fenix PD20 because it has a pocket clip making it ideal for your possibility for pocket carry.

Solarforce L2m with a 3-mode XM-L drop-in.
I also am very fond of the Trustfire Z1, it is a great light, has a nice pocket clip
It's the light on the far right, has High/Lo/Strobe modes, $17.

yes pocket carry is important since if I need to carry firearm conceled, I want to be able to put the light in my pocket incase it is needed.

Hds is a good option, able to cigar grip use it. Multi modes and good runtimes for it's size

If you can get your hands on one. Jetbeam TC-R2, 310 lumens. Limited edition. Quite pricy, but this IS one of the best.

Surefire L1.

Another vote for an HDS light offering, or a SureFire E1B Backup.

RRT-0 the best single cr123 out there IMO

If on a budget I'd vote for jetbeam BC10. It screams on high, has a fairly bright low (actually more like a medium) Runs for 18 hours on low, about 1 hour on high, had a pocket clip and forward clicky for momentary on action ( a must for an offhand firearm light )

+1 for Thrunite Neutron 1C. It goes from firefly low to 450 lumens on high, very small, very well built. I have a good assortment of small-to-medium XM-L lights: Neutron 1A and 1C in both cool and neutral tints, Quark Mini X 123, Quark Turbo X 123, Lumintop TD-15X, ElektroLumens EDC-XML, and ZebraLight SC600. I like them all, but the neutral 1C is the light I grab most.

What battery are you using??

For the money the xeno E03 would be hard to beat. Cool white Neutral white and warms are available, but the neutral are hard to come by.... SORRY THESE are AA lights

AW IMR 16340. The 1C is plenty bright on plain old CR123, but just ridiculous on IMR cells. Check out selfbuilt's review.

Check out the HDS Clicky and the Surefire E1B or E1L.

does the Thrunite 1c have a pocket clip?

seems like there are some options from the above posts.

I will keep an eye out on the CFMarketplace to see if I an pick up somethind reasonable.

there is a HDS on there now but that is out of my price range for a light like this.

+1 Fenix PD20

Good throw on it and the low level lasts a while for more menial jobs.

These are my votes. Actually, I have an L1 and that would be a nice one too with the 2 stage tail cap.

Sunwayman V10R is a great EDC light; the infinitely variable setting means you should always have the right amount of light, anytime!
