I am YUGE Felix fan , headlight all day at work, more headlights for at home chores, poscket carry a Rovy Von something tiny that's USB charged. Other pocke t has been Felix PD 35 for a few years, in each vehicle door pocket rides the clones of Surefire,LED 6. And big ass Maglites with Malkoff conversion. Newest pocket blazer is Nitecore EDC27. That fucker is amazing. It's also flat, easy to slide in or out of pocket.

Love the low-light option on it when I don't want to sear my retina |

I know you already shot down the Surefire Stiletto, but I'll say I like my Stiletto Pro a lot.
Though I always carry a Surefire Sidekick too and use it a lot more, many times daily. |

Well I ended up going for the Macrostream. USB-C charging on board, replaceable battery, 500 lumens and decent candela, and a clip that rides low and can clip to a hat. Seems like a safe bet. Thanks everyone 😊

Been carrying this one for several years. I've accidentally put it through the washing machine a couple of times, came out clean and still working great both times.

Small, around the house light is a Fenix PD25R. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MoonDancer: FourSevens Mini MKIII Personally I'd also add the tailcap kit to delete the magnetic tailcap which I can't abide. I have one of the original 4Sevens Mini MLR2 flashlights and for EDC it's perfect for my needs. Unfortunately the old 4Sevens went out of business so the old light is no longer available. Had I known that that would happen I would have bought a bunch of 'em. Mine has been part of my EDC for at least 8 years and while the finish is worn it has worked flawlessly. Apparently Prometheus Lights, who bought 4Sevens, is a quality oriented company so I'd think the new ones are, quality wise, as good or better than the old ones. Thanks for letting us know. One of my favorite flashlights is the 4Sevens mini that takes a CR2 battery (maybe that’s the MLR2 model you mentioned). I wish the new owners would bring that model back. |

I've had a microstream for a long time. It's going to be like an epiphany when I see what the new small lights can do.

I know a lot of people like them, especially here, but Streamlight has always put out dogs in my opinion. I know they cost more but a single AA Zebralight puts out more lumens than most lights that take two AAs. The 18650 Zebralights are very compact yet put out an honest 1,200 lumens. They are tough as nails as well, I've had an SC5 in the safe for backup for when my SC52 finally dies. I've been EDC the SC52 for over 12 years and it's been turned on so many times it really shouldn't even fucking work any longer. |

I like the mini Wedge XT. Before that I used a Microstream USB. I keep a Pocket Mate on my keyring.

I carry a Microstream (AAA vers). Great EDC. Not the brightest but small enough and bright enough for 99% of see in the dark situations I find myself in. They keep these in our vending machine at work for us to do inspections with so I get them for free

I've had em all, but finally found what works best for me. It's brighter and lighter than most. It's the first EDC light that I actually like carrying every day, regardless of what I'm wearing.
