It's small enough to be always available, reliable enough to always work, and even when the batteries are going out, it still outputs some light. It's been used to illuminate computer boards buried deep in cabinets, help me navigate through darkened buildings, find my way across unlighted roofs of tall buildings at midnight, and for those times when I need another hand, it can be held in my teeth. My light that has seen the most use, by far, is a Streamlight Stylus Penlight. They're great if you're stumbling around in the woods tracking Bigfoot, but if you're indoors or doing close-up work, excessively bright lights are blinding. Enjoying this combo.Īfter reading this thread over again, it seems most people prefer their edc lights compact yet powerful, light yet robust,įor the record, I have a strong aversion to overly bright lights. For now the Streamlight Macrostream has been my most carried light along with the Fenix E03R on my keychain and PD36R in my backpack. I can see the PD32 becoming my new go to. It appears to fix a lot of the issues I've had with larger fenix lights, like the integrated charging port rubber flap not staying shut, and the awful double sided clip on the PD36, and the difficult to find side buttons for switching modes. The 30 lumenlow on most Fenix lights isn't quite low enough for some uses, which is where the E03R comes in. I was also considering the new PD35 V3, which appealed to me for many of the same reasons as the PD32 but it also has a really low low. Another 10,000 candela beam intensity, smaller and lighter size, and the clicky controls all the mode adjustments. I decided against the PD36 TAC and instead plan to get a PD32 V2. I'm also still planning to order another large Fenix. 30,000 candela intensity, and a very low low. In other news I have a Wurkkos FC12 in the mail. I pair a larger light with my keychain light 95% of the time so I don't need to brighter beam of the tip 2 on my keychain, and the tip2's UI is baffling in how bad it is. The Fenix is much more compact, lighter, uses USBC, and I love the red light. I gave the Nitecore Tip2 a chance on my keychain and ended up going back to this Fenix. My larger format light is the Manker E14 III Neutral White 4K 90+ CRI Samsung LH351D LED with the extension tube.Īlso EDC and photography worthy is my Nichia Warm White Armytek Wizard Pro headlamp.Ĭarrying a low CRI light is like carrying a dull knife. I keep two 90+ CRI Nichia 219C EC65 Acebeams mounted on manfrotto goosenecks for photography. My proper EDC sized lights are an SST-20 based Acebeam TK16 and the Nichia 219B R9080 based brass Reylight Pineapple Mini. Some of my other lights in various battery sizes: Heh, I also have two keychains with the SC01. At this point it's hard to go backward from here in CRI, or UI. Keeping in line with the SST20 4K, I usually carry an Emisar D4V2 with 18350 tube when I know I'm doing something that will need a light often. Still hoping they make a aluminum or Ti version instead of just weighty steel. That's my true edc as well, one on both my sets of keys. Sofirn SC01 on my key-chain is enough for me in the summer.
