  • While your smartphone’s flashlight is great in a bind, it will never replace the utility of a full-sized pocket torch for everyday carry. Born in the late 1890s, and powered by crude dry cell batteries and a small incandescent bulb, that first portable electric flashlight would become the blueprint of all the EDC favorites we know and love today. And with that, let’s take a deep dive into the best flashlights on the market.

    I bought the Emisar (often known as Hanklights) dual channel (dd 5700K 519a/ W1) D4K in all copper in October and carried it wherever I go since. It is my first "real" quality light and I love it. It uses Anduril 2 user interface, it may be complicated initially but it is easy to learn. I would say it is definitely worth for the price. I also really like the look of Reylights and it is on my wishlist.

      The only thing that sucks is i forget the lights that have anduril, and I really like clicking tail clips. I wish there was a way to lock the settings until unlclocked with like a combination of holding and half turning the tail cap

    Baton 4 is awesome except the green tint on low and medium. The case is a cool feature, but the light as a pocket light is nice for edc. The case has uses of course especially as a power bank. I also like the pinaplle, pokelit copper, i3t titanium, wurrkos titanium ts10 with rgb, klarus has some nice aa lights as well but for different scenarios. I havent found a perfect edc light just some nice lights with many small differences and small quarks to make them different. Some of your lights feel to big for me to even consider as pocket carry. I have pocket carried lights with 18650 and 21700 size, but only when I knew I would need the run time and lumans. Aaa and AA size are the only medium i have found to be the most portable for myself. And if im 100% honest with myself a keychain light means you will have a light on you 95% of the time you leave the house. But it has to be brighter than a phone light or its piontless imho. Titanium is pretty heavy im not sure why people keep thinking it's not. Titanium is only ligter when designed around its strength. I have yet to find a flash light that has thinner walls than its aluminum or brass counter parts

      You are totally correct. I work with K9 in EU and I use big one Sigma 100 lumens on poligon (+ on MTB) and haw always small Lumitop 3A on my keys and I use here but she is with mee always 8+ares. Super useful batery.

    Im using a TUP as a bedside light, its the best for the job, dont roll and the switch its easy to find and press. Its a bad light for walking at night, the spot is too tight. I once tried a diffuser in front of it and it was perfect.

    I would also recomend Wurkkos HD20, TS25. I found out that a right angle light is more useful for handsfree use. Much more places to clip it to.

    You referred to the second light as the TK4 but it’s actually called the T4K, in case anyone has difficulty finding the correct light when searching for it.

    surprised you didn't mention the reylight being able to also take 18350 batteries by taking off the extension tube. thats where it becomes a fantastic light. 18650 for a work day, swap for 18350 for lighter edc

    why is the run time on the e70 mini so bad?
    19 hours at 60 lumens?
    that's more like a 14500 light not a 18650 light, it should be at least double if not triple that

    All I want is the maglite solitaire single aaa flashlight in a AA version.
    I don't want two aa's I don't want two aaa's
    Just one, bright enough AA flashlight with no modes, no extra clicks no gimmicks
    I need just enough lumens, and loads of battery life.
    The lumens craze is dumb.

    I must be in the minority here. I'm not a fan of the perfectly round form factor. Take away the clip and half these lights in my opinion and it seems like many of these lights you couldn't set down without fear of them rolling away. If your on a riverbank or something and set a flashlight down on a rock, I wouldn't want it rolling away and into the water on me.

    Hey! These are the list prices from the manufacturers’ websites (except Laulima Metal Craft, which didn’t seem to have a functional website). Lower prices for some of the lights were found on other sites such as eBay, Amazon, and other dealers, but none were drastically lower. I'm surprised Rovyvon didn't make this list; they make awesome lights!
