    Perceptions of what is too big for EDC

    This is probably blasphemy but I perfer carrying the smallest light I can get away with. I don't like carrying a lot of different things on my person and I don't like having things on my belt.

    Best Single AAA torch?

    Efficiency comparison Lumintop Copper Tool and Copper Worm

    First post, I had to join this forum just for this thread. I have a Maratac Copper AAA Nichia 219 rev 4 on the way from CountyComm. I'll post pictures of the driver once it arrives, but I don't have the equipment or know-how to run any real tests. I carried the Rev 1 on my keys for about 6...
