I am trying to help my Dad decide on a flashlight for EDC and EMS work. At this point he is looking for a fairly compact (<6.5" and not very thick) LED light. The main two we have it narrowed down to are the Fenix PD30 (probably R2 version for the lower cost) and the Eagletac P20C2. Any opinions on these two lights and which would be better?
Also, other lights to consider? Not necessarily commited to 123A's, AA would be nice, but can't be too long.
-Pocket clip that works well
-100 lumen-ish throw or more, crazy brightness isn't huge
-Compact size easy for pocket carry (<6.5" long and narrower <1" or less dia)
-At least a hi and low setting (simpler UI is better)
-LED and durable construction, decent quality and water resistent
-Momentary switch and full click for on
Thanks for any input and advice. I have learned a ton on this forum and own my Fenix tk12 based on research from this site.
