Wrathen Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) I’ve been wanting to pick up a good EDC flashlight under $100 to carry daily. I was thinking maybe the Streamlight 2L-X, but open to other recommendations. It must have a back toggle button and fit it a back pocket. I would like a few light modes. Minimum of 500 lumins. Thank you in advance Edited April 2, 2018 by Wrathen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkleskiw Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Olight and Fenix are solid brands and I'm certain you can filter your search to fit your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Take a look at LA police gear, I carried their operator light on my duty belt for years and had no issues with it https://www.lapolicegear.com/lapg-operator-flashlights.html also Olight flashlights with the side button for switching mode are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
practical_man Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I have been using streamlight for about 10 years. I have a 35 lumen 1AAA pocket light that is used literally every single day for the past 6 years. Perfect for daily tasks like checking pupilary response. I recently bought (about 2 years ago) a Streamlight 1L, it runs about 100 lumens on one AA battery and about 350 in the rechargeable 18650. it’s very bright and suitable for outdoor use on the homestead. Streamlight works for me. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacivilian Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Streamlight HLX with a thyrm switchback all for under $100 and you get 1000 lumens in a 18650 platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossgvr4 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) I have a Fenix TK15UE, when I need carry something with a smaller profile I use my E36UE. Both seem to run FOREVER on 18650/3500mAh batteries. Edited April 15, 2018 by bossgvr4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimpy83 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Fenix pd35 on high is 1000 lumens for like 65 bucks I think. For a smaller light i like the streamlight stylist pro, bout the size of a sharper and decent enough light if you aren't aiming to blind someone with it. And they are like 30 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremyc_1999 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I like streamlight lights. I have paid less than $100 for each of mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Go to the Fenix website and join their “club” (ie, mailing list) and they will immediately give you a coupon, free shipping, and deal updates. I just bought another PD25 (multimode single battery at 550 legit lumens) for something like $46 out the door with a rechargeable battery included and promise you won’t find a better flashlight for EDC or any other purpose. I’ve got an older 200 lumen PD25 on a weapon mount for my carbine, and when I get my 300blk built, that will get a new PD25. So, yeah, I recommend the PD25!!!
