Hi guys! Now that my AA and AAA flashlights are squared away (thanks again for your help here in this forum!), I am also looking for the best CR123A EDC flashlight, with:
- single CR123A (dual power design with AA is okay too, but prefer smaller size of just one CR123A)
- tail clicky greatly preferred (side switch maybe if it's great, but definitely no twisty switch)
- deep carry clip
- no magnet
- as compact as possible
So far, I have only found a handful that might meet the specs:
1 - Olight M1T Raider
2 - Eagletac D25C
3 - Streamlight ProTac 88030 1L
4 - Streamlight ProTac 88061 1L-AA (dual power CR123A + AA)
5 - Fenix PD25 (has tail clicky, but also side switch, which I don't like in general)
6 - Klarus XT1C V2
7 - TerraLUX TT1-EX (a bit on the pricey side)
8 - Nitecore P05
I've already ordered the M1T Raider, but before I order any more to test, I'm wondering if there's something I've missed? Everything else on the market seems to have a magnet or side switch or twisty switch or is too large, etc..., all of which I don't want.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experience on these!
