EDC light recommendations

[connortierney117]

I'm looking to upgrade my current EDC light (Klarus E1 and/or Olight Warrior Mini). I'd prefer something American made. I like Olights UI (click tailcap, and second button for modes). I'd prefer a high/low/moonlight mode. And if optional a crenelated bezel. And most of all, reliable/durable. Any body help me out? I've look at Surefire, Zebralight, Streamlight, Amrytek, the works. Nothing seems to have good run time and modes. Olight checks every box, however they're not American and have questionable reliability from from I've heard (and their pocket clips suck). Thanks!

Won't tick the box for your two button preference, but Malkoff make really good stuff: https://malkoffdevices.com/

Pricey and long lead time, but the HDS Rotary might do what you want. Click tailcap, and a rotary ring for brightness.

HDS checks everyone of your boxes. I prefer the clicky over the rotary but that is just personal preferenc. Checkout the HDS thread for more info then you can ever read.

Malkoff checks almost every box. I just ordered the MDC HA 1AA.
