My two favorite everyday use flashlights are still my Surefire E1e, and my A2 Aviator.
Both have Lumen Factory replacement bulbs.
The E1e is the light I carry in my pocket 100% of the time.
It is so small and light, yet it is plenty bright.
It is suprising how many times I use it even durring the day.
However the A2 Aviator is my favorite light if I could have only one.
I have 2, one with yellow green Led's, I only use it when on a trip and might need to read a map, in the dark in a vehicle.
My everyday use A2 has the white LED's.
I really like the fact that LED's povide enough light to walk around, look into a closet, etc with out blinding you or messing up your night vision.
Even if the batteries are do not have enough "juice" to light up the incandescent bulb they will still fire up the LED's.
Yet by just pressing the tail cap a little harder you have a pretty good Incandescent light.
Also if desired, you can adjust the tail cap so you cannot accidently turn on the bright white light.
Even though I use this light every night, because a lot of use is with the LED's the batteries last a long time.
When I travel I always carry a Sure Fire Spares, or two, so I have extra bulbs.
Both of these lights are my EDC when ever I leave my place.
Both have been to Alaska, and Africa several times.
They have never left me in the dark.:thumbsup:
