Favorite EDC flashlights of 2016

livingsurvival · Jul 21, 2016

Wondering what is your favorite light this year. The light you keep coming back to or constantly carry. I know people with different occupations might carry larger or smaller lights. Some may favor keychain lights. That being said, for me I carry a Lumintop Tool most often. Especially the Ti 219 Nichia version. I have no need for a larger flashlight on my person although I do carry larger 18650 lights in my packs and a spotlight (TN40) in my car. What is your favorite for EDC?

That muyshondt is a nice light but way out of my price range. I do like the Eagletac D25C although I think they stopped making it.

Hands down, the Klarus XT11S. I miss rotating my 18650 EDC but the XT11S keeps being the one I want on me.

I have that light in my car kit/get home bag. Love it.

I'm still amazed by the size, output and build - especially considering it has built-in recharging while being smaller than its non-recharging competition. Only things I've changed were to swap in a battery with higher capacity and add add a GITD sticker on the side switch.

yeah the side switch is a bit much but hey there are options I guess. I have the Nitecore TM03 sitting here and not impressed compared to the Klarus even though it has more lumens it has less range and is not rechargeable.

My Zebralight SC600w Mk III HI, of course...:laughing:

Warp · Jul 21, 2016

I'm still tickled pink with the Zebralight SC62w I started daily pocket carrying as my primary light about 20 months ago

I have too many favorites. I would have to say the HDS 4K is way up at the top.

Night-Ops Gladius. Love this light, it has the best UI I've ever seen. I wish SureFire would manufacture it.

EDC doesn't have to mean pocket carry right? Depends on your job and what your needs are. In car and on vest it's MH27UV. In Pocket MH20GT(always impressed with the throw from a tiny light). Easy to look down dark alleys for the bad guys, XP-L HI freaks them out!&#55357;&#56846;

Haven't bought a new light this year. Newer members may have to look up the history books for this one but through out 2016, I'm still carrying my 2008 Nitecore D10 GD!

The New MecArmy Switch looks very cool. Might have to grab one. &#55357;&#56397;

Daytime: I constantly carry two lights: Olight S2 Baton and Acebeam EC50vn.

Nighttime, indoor: Same as above. Nighttime, outdoor: The S2 and TN36UTvn.

DMS1970 · Jul 22, 2016

Top choice if I need some runtime - SC63 or Olight S2 (S2 has better hot spot, sc63 is more compact). Something smaller to drop in a pocket - Olight S1
