BMyers Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I was wondering what EDC light everyone carries? I carry an Olight M2R Warrior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I carried a Surefire E2E for many years. I don’t have a dedicated daily carry light any longer, but I do often carry a Maglite Solitaire LED 1xAAA in my pocket if I foresee a need. The newest ones are surprisingly bright with good battery life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipedreams Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Surefire Microstream, great for my occasional use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few years it's been the Microstream clipped to my wallet. Although, I can deploy and turn on my phone flashlight more quickly these days, with the Moto chop to activate feature.

Hammer Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 A Surefire EDCL1T is my everyday light. Gave my daughter a Streamlight 1L 1AA and she really likes it. Seems to be a good light for the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minderasr Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Fenix PD22UE, which is great for my occasional use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitesite Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Streamlight Microstream 1-AAA slips in my pocket. Tough and very bright. If I am gone from home for more than a day it is my ElZetta 2-cell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_ml Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Streamlight 1L-1AA, typically carry it with a rechargeable AA battery in it, with a couple of 123A batteries in my car or vest as back ups if I need to change out, or just need a little more light. I like how it can be reprogrammed, so mine is set to do low then high, with no strobe. I use it all the time for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I have the Olight S1A on order, it looks to have similar light output to the Streamlight with AA batteries, and the streamlight has some sharper edges that are wearing some holes in the pocket I carry it. Either one should take the 14500 rechargeable battery, the Olight turbo mode with that battery is almost twice as bright (600 lumen vs 350) with some additional settings for light level as well, so we will see.

minderasr Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 My only issue with Olight flashlights is they have a tendency to activate while in my pocket. The only thing that gives it away is the heat that builds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitesite Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 But I gotta say that as an EDC my ElZetta M60 is on my duty belt M-F for about nine hours each day. Most wonderful light I have ever owned, and because it cost nearly $200 I really must like it, right? My wife just doesn't get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have carried it exclusively since it arrived. I took it with me to Chicago. Yet, yesterday was the first true test of the light for me. My daughter called me after she got out of her college classes and her SUV wouldn't start. So, I went to the college and the battery was dead. Got a new battery and used the light to help me see while I was switching out the battery. Worked perfectly and provided plenty of light. I've used the light a few other times, such as walking into the house at night, etc., but this was first time to use the light for longer than just a minute or two. Very pleased with it. It is easy to carry, very comfortable and smaller than the Warrior series of lights. The Warrior series are more tactical lights. this is a nice EDC light. My wife prefers the I3T. She had been carrying the S1R, but the I3T is smaller profile and she likes the tail cap button more than the side button. So, both lights are working well and at this point no issues with either one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c10bonanza Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Excellent to hear, @BMyers! Thanks for the update. FWIW, I've really enjoyed my two Olights. Great bang for the buck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smith10 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Been on an olight kick, first pl mini then the m2t warrior. Very happy with both. The warrior has a lockout feature that keeps it from being accidentally turned on. Having melted at least one tactical light, I like that.

bigchuck83 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Been carrying a Fenix Pd35 tac for around two years, always with me and gets used daily. Recently had to change batteries as it would no longer go into the highest setting and now it’s back to working great.
