This video shares everything you need to consider if you're new to EDC torches, especially the very beginning which is essentially a PSA to prevent serious injury or even worse.

    I've been carrying the Nitecore TINI 2 on my keychain for around 18 months. Aside from some finish wear, it's still working great. It throws a great even light, and it holds a charge for quite a long time when not in use. Plus USB-C charging is great, since I'm never far from a USB-C charger.

    As someone very new to EDC, this is really helpful, informative and balanced advice. Thank you. My first (& currently only) EDC torch (yes that’s what we call them in the UK) is the tiny but ample Lumintop EDC01. For the last four weeks it’s been in my pocket on a microclip, along with a Victorinox classic SD alox. The number of times these little items have been used in these first weeks, has both surprised and thrilled me (& stopped the criticisms of my family, who had doubted the need of them 😊). Love the content here. Thanks for the opportunity of landing an upgrade.

    Hey Maurice! Loving the videos. Came across them your channel when looking at EDC items and it has been a great guide! I currently have the SL-300 (shredlights) as my torch of choice. It's designed to attach to skateboards to light up the road while riding but I also carry them when I'm not using the skateboard. It's small enough to throw in a bag and it has multiple uses which I like. Can't wait to see this channel grow!

    I got my first flashlight less than a month ago: the RovyVon A5, which is great because it's small and I can bring it everywhere, but it's actually too small to hold in my hand. I would love a slightly larger flashlight so I can hold it easier. I never knew how much I used a flashlight until I got one, it's definitely an EDC for me now.

    Hey Maurice thanks for the heads up on multi cell batteries in torches. Great content as always! I currently run an Olight i3t as my EDC light because of its size and ability to change batteries quickly. I use rechargeable AAA batteries to keep it running and have a spare cell in most of my bags.
    I have been looking at something more powerful lately though because I would like a more defensive focused light for certain situations.
    Keep up the great work!

    The thumbnail and title of this video strongly implies that you're going to discuss the flashlights pictured. That's why I watched the video and I assume the same is true for most others since the most replayed part of the video is the part where you have the same lights pictured. But you don't discuss them, you just link them so you can make some money if we buy one from Amazon. This is anything but the "ultimate guide" and frankly, I am growing so weary of fake clickbait titles and thumbnails. You seem like a nice guy so I'm not going to tell RUclips to stop recommending your channel, but I came really close to doing that. Please be honest and transparent with your videos. Trying to "trick" people into watching and using your affiliate links is no way to build a following.

    As always, a very well structured and presented video. Thanks. I’m currently using a larger LED flashlight, which was an Amazon special some time ago (can’t remember the name). It’s good, but too big, for what I need and tech has moved on a lot since. Currently looking at the RovyVon A1 as part of the EDC, but the Baton 3 looks mega and would ensure I’ve always got some change, but probably not what I need right now.

    Glad that you set it straight with flashlight saftey. Everything I’ve read about deaths or injuries have been from what you mentioned but so many people love to pin everything on the brand. I have been EDCing an Olight warrior mini 2 Cu latley. I picked it up a few months ago to replace a broken surfire stilletto since I loved the copper and didn’t want to pay to upgrade to a stilletto pro to escape the plastic body that broke on the original. I don’t find it any harder to carry and it’s user interface is just as good if not better. Also seems just as if not more durable so far and looks way cooler. Here’s to hoping I win a baton 3 for my girlfriend;)

  • @mattgreenwalt7667

    I own several flashlights from Reylight and Olight but my go to EDC is the Olight i5r EOS in Ti. It's bright enough for my everyday needs, uses either a proprietary usb rechargeable battery or a AA batter and it is able to be clipped to the bill of my hat when needed.

  • @bloodymarvelous4790
    @bloodymarvelous4790 Год назад +1

    I wouldn't call them EDCs, since I don't carry them everyday, but I have 2 flashlights:
    1) SureFire E2D Defender as a tactical flashlight. It's tough, IPX7 rated, with a button on the back with two intensities. It has a 1000 lumen and a 5 lumen mode. It also has a crenelated strike surface for self defense. It runs on 2 CR123A cells.
    2) Apeks Luna Mini. This is a dive light with 4 settings: 1000, 500, 250 lumen, and strobe. It's got a factory sealed rechargeable battery, and is IPX8 rated to 100 meters, also with a button on the back. It doesn't have a pocketclip like the SureFire, but I tied a boltsnap to this dive light and it's really always on my BCD.
    Both are comparable in weight, dimensions, and price. Both come with a lifetime warranty. The Apeks is a little lighter, smaller, and less expensive. If I'd have to pick one as an EDC, it'd probably be the Apeks because it's an awesome dive light and a very versatile pocket flashlight. It has intelligent circuitry that dims the light if it is starting to overheat, or if the battery runs down. It also comes in four colors: Dark gray, green, orange, and purple.

  • @charlotteice5704
    @charlotteice5704 Год назад +1

    I carry a RovyVon Aurora A5x (I think) and I do use one of the higher output modes (which has a few hundred lumens I believe) from time to time. I work in a theatre so there are times when I need to illuminate large, dark spaces and those extra lumens are super useful. However, a big downside of this flashlight being so small and being capable of so much output is that it won't keep up the high output modes for long, it'll switch to a lower output to prevent overheating. But that's a tradeoff I can live with for it being so small that I can take it anywhere.
    Another consideration is luminous flux (in lumens) and its relationship with luminous intensity (in candela), which is associated with how focused the beam is. Luminous flux describes the total amount of light coming from the flashlight in all directions, whereas luminous intensity describes how much light there is concentrated in a given angle in space.
    Thus, if the flashlight has a very large beam angle, the light gets spread out over this large angle, so a flashlight with the same amount of lumens but a smaller beam angle is going to have that light spread out over a smaller angle, making the light appear more concentrated and thus brighter. So if you have two flashlights with the same number of lumens, the one with lower candela is going to have that light more spread out whereas the one with higher candela is going to be more focused.
    If you want to illuminate an object with both, it's going to look dimmer when illuminated with the low candela flashlight because that flashlight lights up more of the surrounding area with the same amount of luminous flux (total light output), so there's less left for the object.

    @dsandoval9396 10 месяцев назад

    I have so many issues with a lot of what you said but for the sake of brevity and to save my fingers typing on my tablet I will only focus on what you say about 5 to 100 being basically all you need unless you're in rescue or such.
    There's plenty of instances that require a person to have brighter flashlights for everyday use. Quite a few people have vison problems or conditions that require them brighter flashlights for what some people would consider "bright enough". Even times in which a certain brightness in a floodligh is enough they could still have conditions in which a higher lumin/brightness is required to see more around them in the dark as their condition can affect their peripheral vision, so even though in front of them it's bright enough for them they could still require brighter still to see to a normal comfort around them.
    These situations are clearer to me as i have vision problems on my mother's side and i see this first hand.

As of now, I tried an Olight i3T EOS, a Ledlenser P2R, SureFire Titan Plus and a Nitecore Tini 2. The Olight and the Nitecore my main ones since the Nitecore is on my keychain and Olight is the most useable one with its pocket clip. Thinking 'bout getting maybe a titan version of the Nitecore Tini 2 one day. Keep up the good work & have a nice day.

    I’m currently EDCing a I5R from olight and have been considering a larger model as it’s getting darker heading into the winter season. While I do agree with you about not really needing more than 150 lumens it would be nice to have the option to hit those higher numbers.

      It is always a good idea to have options.

      250 imho is by far best option be it medium or short range. 250-500 for hand lamps, 300 max for headlamps. i had fenix HL60R and loved it , but 900 lumens for headlight?! now im settled with TK22 v1 and petzl tactikka+ . will deff buy another olight and fenix though.

    So far my steamlight microstream has come in handy almost daily. Love the output for the size. But I do wish it lasted longer on a charge and/or charged faster.

    I'm just getting into this edc stuff and your videos have been very helpful. I'm using a hyper tough 80 lumen torch from asda supermarket which uses 2 batteries so I probably needs replacìng

    I got my first EDC torch (flashlight) a couple of weeks ago. It's an Olight i3E EOS, and I'm really surprised how much I use it, and how much light I get from the tiny form factor. It's a 90lm, single output torch and I find it ample for what I want.

    I don't currently have a edc flashlight yet and was in the process of getting one. Been watching a few videos on flashlights and glad you uploaded this as I was still searching. I have been eyeing the Olight Warrior Mini 2 as my edc flashlight but not sure if it's THE one.

    I carry an olight i1R2 EOS. I love the size for EDC and the max output is fine for my needs. I would prefer, however, a lower minimum output for moving around my house at night without waking anyone up. I think moonlight mode is an underrated and under-discussed feature.

    Since I haven’t quite committed to a single EDC bag I tend to keep multiple compact alkaline flashlights peppered in various places at work ,home, auto and workshop.

    I currently don't have an EDC flashlight, so this video and the suggestions in the comments are great. I think I'd like to add the Angel Eyes E3 and Olight Baton 3 Pro to my carries.

    I don't carry any flashlight in my edc at the moment but I'm eyeing a rovyvon e7 coz the dual charging options look pretty convenient. It's also important that it comes with a clip

    Started watching your videos because I've recently got interested in EDC flashlights. Currently using a Olight Baton 3 Premium Edition with Charging Case. Wouldn't mind having the Baton 3 since its bigger and probably last longer in the battery department. Keep up the videos man!

    Great video as always my current EDC flashlight is the OLIGHT 1R2 Pro. Like you mentioned in the video I don’t need more than 180 lumens it provides and prefer the ubiquity of USB-C charging over other alternatives.

    This is a really good video quailty and vaule it brings. Things I wanted to know. Thank you sir. My favorite edc torch is my i5r eos titanium olight. I also carry a cheapy wuben c3 as my first 1k+ lumen light but I'd really love to upgrade soon to another high power torch as my tactical light just not sure which route to go

    Subscribed. I agreed with all of your comments, and select my carry flashlight(s) accordingly.
    I have had a flashlight since I was around 5, and consciously collected them since my teens. Since I am now a Grumpy Old Man (>60), I've probably owned quite a few.
    For example, my EDC flashlights right now are an S1R Baton II, an i5R EOS w/OEM 2.4V battery, and lately one of: the i3T EOS, an i1R2, or the SdeNow S1. I've also been testing out a couple of the smaller AA/14500 Sofirn lights, but so far I prefer Olight's UI, particularly how its lockout works. I use coin-cell LED lights as zipper pulls on most of my coats. I've also added an Olight imini to my keychain, but it won't last there unless I discover that a rechargeable 10180 can replace its three LR41 button cells.
    If I am going camping or hiking, the Baton II is replaced with a Warrior Mini for better battery life, and I'll probably also be using a headlight, most likely a Sofirn that takes a single 18650.
    Yes, "my name is Joe, and I have a flashlight habit."

    I currently use a Nitecore Tiki. It is compact, lightweight, and versatile. Only downside is the charging. It still uses micro USB.

  • @F3A5T

    I really love the safety warning in the beginning. I also do not like multi-cell flashlights. I have been a fan of Olight for a few years now. I started with a i3T I had in my kit for multiple years. I even bought a Olight Odin mini for my AR. Yeah they aren't made in the US but that doesn't mean that the company doesn't put out good products. Currently I am ricking an S2R II as my EDC light, with sometimes using the i5T if I need something a little bit smaller.
    Cheers!

    anyway, great video, keep up the awesome content!
