First post, be gentle!
I used to be fairly active in the flashlight technology community and have accumulated a number of older LED lights that have been serving me well for a few years now. However, I'm now in a new phase in life with a new income bracket, and I'm finally starting to look at my equipment as I get settled into my new job and lifestyle. This could be an opportunity to both enjoy my old lights again as they fill a niche, or look at new affordable options with new technology and companies around. For now, I'm stocking my kits, eventually I'll worry about my EDC habits.
I need to determine what kind of light would be ideal for a variety of emergency response kits. These include but are not limited to:
-New apartment, third story flat which has had power flickers in the past few weeks.
-Car. I spent about two hours a day commuting, moreso if I have meetings or events to go to after work.
-Casual EDC bag-A Chrome bag satchel I take with me on weekend trips, in the car, or to grad school classes at night.
-Work bag-a generic black laptop bag I use at work.
-Office-I have a small private office, concealed storage is not a problem.
-Cache kits. I am planning on leaving a couple cheap kits at friend's places and in a couple buildings I have private access to, simply in case I forgot my bag that night and need to fix something or have an unexpected night away.
