The EDC Flashlight I've Been Looking For

This is finally the EDC flashlight I've been looking for. When I say EDC, I'm not tactfully worried about Rambo. I mean exactly that – the light I want to have with me every day and always. A simple pocket knife that I put in my pocket every day when I put on my underwear, car keys, wallet and a small flashlight that I always have with me. Why flashlight? Why not. Finding your phone when it falls into a crack, looking for keys, trying to see what you're working on, checking what's going on at night, reading restaurant menus if you're in your 40s. If you always had a flashlight, what would you NOT use for his? The reason you don't always carry a flashlight with you is because it's usually cumbersome to carry around without a tool belt. Problem solved. Imagine a short Sharpy marker. This is the size and weight of this flashlight. What I was looking for in a flashlight: LED, rechargeable, small enough to carry around safely, bright enough/dim enough, light weight (not noticeable in pocket) Yes, the perfect light exists. A lamp that you can always have with you for any occasion. This light in my front pocket (with pocket clip) doesn't even get in my hand when I'm reaching into my pocket for my car keys. You'll even forget he's there. There's enough light for everything I need to do. In total darkness, it will light up the whole room. Dim mode is perfect for working in the dark when your eyes are set and you don't need to light up the world or when you need enough light to focus your eyes e.g. B. reading a menu in a dark restaurant. Or when you need an inspection lamp for detailed work like cleaning your gun. And it's rechargeable. You don't have to keep turning it on and off to save battery, you just plug it in and charge it when it runs low. I use mine all the time and it has never died on me. I load it up from time to time when I think about it just so I never forget. * button. Yes, the button is difficult to press. The solution is simple. If you unscrew the button cover cap from the end you will notice that there is a notch in the button cover that is perfectly sized for small round paper cuts from a 1/4 inch paper hole punch. It only takes about 0.030 gauge (about 5-7 holes of printer paper) to fill the gap between the rubber cover of the button and the switch itself. Once you add the padding, the button is fast, responsive, and no longer difficult to press. Problem solved, problem stays solved. End.
