I thin...Of course this is all a matter of opinion. I think you could ask several "flashlight people" what their top five best EDC lights are and will literally get a completely different list over and over. As you said, the choices have never been better, so the lists will all vary quite a bit. <br /><br />I will say, from the brands you picked, (Zebralight, Eagletac, Surefire and Fenix) at least one or two will fall on someone's list. I don't see Steamlight as often. <br /><br />I personally carry the Eagletac D25A, which is the AA version of the D25C. The thing I like about that light over the D25C is that it takes the most common battery type, but I can also use a 14500 battery. The 14500 allows me to have Li-ion performance like the RCR123. The light is also a little slimmer, so it fits in the pocket a little better.<br /><br />I also have the Thrunite Ti on my keychain. I very rarely ever leave the house with less than two lights on me, and never without at least one. I will also carry a larger tactical light, but it all depends on what I'm wearing and if I'm able to carry it easily. Usually, I find a way ;-). <br /><br />This last comment always gets controversy in the flashlight community. I usually recommend to anyone on a budget or who are starting out to avoid the Surefires. They are great lights, built like tanks, and have great warranties. However, they are very expensive for what you are getting. You can buy two lights with MUCH better capabilities with similar build, and in some cases buy even three! Like with most things, you do get what you pay for, but usually as the prices go higher there are deminshing returns. <br /><br />Nice list, and a good place to start for anyone...<br /><br /><br /><br />Bernecknoreply@blogger.com
