Previous Page. Next Page. Trying to decide between these two. The big question is do I sacrifice lumens for a smaller footprint? I guess lumens is fine, but not sure. Thorfire on Amazon Attached File. Streamlight Microstream. Quote History. Quoted: want to stick with something dual output. What about the new Surefire Stiletto? Quoted: Trying to decide between these two. OP asked for advice on which one of those lights to pick, not for gas station flashlight recommendations.
I picked the E1b. Quoted: OP asked for advice on which one of those lights to pick, not for gas station flashlight recommendations. My EDC is an Elektrolumans model EDC that uses rechargeable batteries, outputs 1, lumens, and machined out of a block of aluminum. More solid than even Surefire lights. Unfortunately the owner retired from making lights. But, I have three of these models as well as two other larger, much more powerful models.
My advice after 20 years of owning various Surefire, Streamlight, and other flashlights is to skip the lights you have listed on your poll and get the new Surefire Fury DFT. It's just a little bigger than the ones listed, but, is vastly superior. And, uses the vastly superior recheargeable lithium batteries. Surefire Fury DFT rechargeable lithium battery 1.
It's a vast improvement over the regular Scout weapon lights. Scout M DF uses lithium rechargeable battery and outputs 1, lumens for 1. The smaller of the 2, the E1b cuz you're more likely to have it with you when you need it. Also not from a weird chineseum named company. I don't think the MV beam on my tactician is very impressive at lumens.
It's a wiiiiide flood as most probably know. But I wouldn't get the lumen version for myself, but ymmv. Im thinking of trading it off for an edc1 or something with more throw. I vote E1B. Because that is what I carry everyday. Attached File. I want all the lumens. Microstream USB brown version. Sell em like crazy in my store. Carry it myself. Quoted: What about the new Surefire Stiletto? Surefire is what people get when the flashlight must absolutely work the first time, every time.
Quoted: I use this but it keeps falling out of my pocket because of the clip. Any suggestions on fixing it? Was a surefire fanboy until I was shown the light, literally. Versatile, lite, rugged, great value! Pocket clip, runs on 1 aa alkaline or lithium or 1 CRA. Quoted: fenix or olight will do all the stuff a surefire will do for a fuck of a lot less. Very small and light.
High lumens with temperature regulation. I wouldn't go to war with one over a Surefire but I'd carry it daily over a Surefire. This lower rating is likely due to the USB recharging port below the head of the flashlight.
We prefer the rechargeable model. The G20 offers a good grip and the switch is a dream. We like the aluminum body and it has decent water resistance with an IPX7 rating. The battery life of this flashlight is lacking compared to other models. Designed for deep pocket carry, the Wedge has a flattened, compact design.
It will cast lumens of light for three hours on its low setting and 1, lumens on high. It weighs 3. Its thin ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand and the exterior is grooved for a secure grip. The activation switch is easy to use in either hand and designed to prevent unintentional activation. It also has a charge level indicator built into the activation switch.

EDC flashlights are small typically less than 5 inches long and easily carried in a pocket. Improvements in battery technology give them a much longer duration. More and more these days are rechargeable, which we really like. Full-sized tactical flashlights are typically between six and 12 inches long and can kick out more than 2, lumens of night penetrating light.
Many have a strike face — a ring of raised projections around the lens bezel to jab into vulnerable areas like faces and necks. Both EDC and tactical flashlights are typically waterproof and sport low and high settings. Some also have a strobe setting to dazzle and disorient attackers.
