So, I'm brand new to this forum and brand new to flashlights beyond the plastic ones used to buy when they came with a 6-pack of batteries at the supermarket.



I'm getting into EDC and would like a flashlight (or torch, as we call them here in Australia).



* Not too big, it will go in my EDC bag

* Black or matt silver

* A nice amount of knurling (matching my Rotring 600 roller and fountain)

* AA or 123 battery

* General usage (around the house and yard, occasional camping, reading in bed, etc)



Lights i'm considering include:



* Eagletac P20C2 MKII

* Fenix LD20/10 R5

* Fenix PD31

* Jetbeam JET-I PRO/EX V3.0

* Nitecore Infilux IFD2

* Quark AA² Tactical, S2 Edition

* Quark 123² Tactical, S2 Edition



Are there any others I should consider?



Are there any advantages of 123 Li's over AA's? Apart from brighter, longer lasting light from the 123's and easy availability of general household usefulness of the AA's?



Thanks all, greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.



Cheers,

S.
