Streamlight
4.3
(32)

Emisar
4.7
(27)
"Emisar D4K with Lume X1 driver"

Zebralight
4.7
(27)
"My favorite EDC flashlight is the Zebralight SC64c LE. It's out of production and I'm not sure I'd like its successor as much."
"SC65c HI. It's not ONE step up, it's all the way up for EDC."
"Built like a tank, easy to operate, high CRI, good throwy(ish) beam profile, gets bright but not too bright."
"If you can live with charging the cells outside of the flashlight, I don't think Zebralight is easy to beat."
"My daily is a sc65c hi, it's not the brightest 18650 light you could buy."
"I would go for a zebralight sc64 or sc65."
"It's a one and done kind of light."
"Heavily leaning towards Zebralight SC65 HI."
"A lot of people here will say Zebralight SC65c HI or SC64c LE, and for good reason."

"The Skilhunt E2A has a reversible clip, so that will work fine on a cap."

"I like the Skilhunt m150 v3."
"The M150 is noticeable smaller and more comfortable in the pocket than the D3AA."

Convoy

"Can't beat it for like 20 USD."

Modlite
4.4
(5)
