Looking into purchasing my first EDC flashlight...

[j-rom]

Like the title says, I am in the market for my first EDC flashlight. Would like recommendations and possible experience. Preferable something not too bulky and comfortable enough to wear all day. $75 is the top dollar I'm willing to spend so help me out if you can!

Fenix LD12 has worked pretty well for me.

Not the brightest or the most expensive, but has adjustable brightness and runs off a regular AA battery.

Surfire or Streamlight always a safe bet

I carry a Olight M20X warrior. 500 lumen output with strobe and three variable settings, absolute bullet proof aluminum construction, and relatively light weight. I can't speak highly enough of it.

This.

I have an T20 and a M21-X. Could not be happier with them.

Streamlight Protac 2L.

It's compact, stupid bright, and is made here in PA. The only problem with it is it uses CR123 batteries, but if you look around you can find some good deals on them. It's pretty easy on batteries. I'm still on the original set after about 8 months with light/middling use.

Ill second this. Been my edc for about 2 years. I work nights, so it's always dark for me and the 2L has met every challenge.

I think I paid around $45 for it.

I'll third it! It's a great product and you'll come in under budget.

I like the Four Sevens Quark series, Pro, Tactical, Turbo, etc. I also like their Mini series for EDC. They have several variants with different options, including AA battery variants.

And the Fenix LD series.
