Ladies and gentlemen, I'm in need of a new EDC light, and as I am fairly new to this sort of thing, I'd like some help if possible.
I've shopped around and read lots of reviews, but I'm sure that I've missed a lot out of ignorance.
Here is what I need -
LED, the brighter the better
Size - between 3.6 to 4.5 inches
Capable of being used as a striking tool, i.e. kubotan
Forward clicky "tactical" switch
A low profile clip would be great
Basically I will be carrying this light in my back pocket alongside my wallet, and it's two uses are utility and self defense as a light for target I.D. and a deterrent.
I do not need any fancy features or modes. High and low beam is good enough for me. I've been using a Surefire 6P for about fifteen years.
I need something smaller than my Surefire 6PLED and my Jetbeam Jet-IIIM, and more pocket friendly and brighter than my Surefire E2D.
I've looked at the Surefire E1B, Nitecore Defender Infinity (still available?), Quark 123-2 and AA Tactical (out of stock until March), and the OLight I10.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Clay
