    @lunas Thanks! I do like Thrunite and I like the blue color, but that is a bit over my budget.

    Is it micro-USB charging or USB-C, please? I do already own a CR123 charger, so a flashlight with those would work for me too.

    Thanks for the answers. Actually, I was thinking of a long run time for a much lower output (firefly even). The max output would only be needed for a burst to dazzle someone. I went back and edited that from my original post. I want AA/AAA because I already have a lot and it vastly simplifies...

    I did this many years ago and ended up getting a Lumentop penlight that I'm dissatisfied with. I also got a Thrunite Ti3 keychain light that I like a lot. I have a 1xAAA Fenix keychain that only provides about 3 lumens. I'm now looking for something more "tactical" in that I want to find one...

    I Think I'm Looking for 2 EDC Flashlights to Replace My Fenix E01

    I was carrying it in my pants pocket. I don't always wear a shirt with a pocket and I want this light to always be with me. Maybe if I need to twist it I might as well get a twist-on?

    I Think I'm Looking for 2 EDC Flashlights to Replace My Fenix E01

    My Lumintop problems are still not solved. I replaced the batteries and it worked for a little while, but now it doesn't again. I emailed Lumintop and they asked some questions, I answered but they didn't get back to me for a couple of weeks now. Another problem I found was when it did work...

    I Think I'm Looking for 2 EDC Flashlights to Replace My Fenix E01

    Thanks. I went with the Lumintop because it looked a little bit more snazzy, but after a day it won't cycle through the modes, neither with the tail clickie nor with twisting the front. I'll let you know how customer service handles it. I've emailed them.

    I do really like both. Which would you recommend, Lumintop or Thrunite? I can't find a head to head on those? Other than the Lumintop looks a little more "executive" what should I consider when trying to choose?

    I Think I'm Looking for 2 EDC Flashlights to Replace My Fenix E01

    Hmmm, Fenix UC01 looks a lot like the Nitecore Tube and is only about $12 vs the Tube at about $10. I've seen a lot of people on Youtube and at flashlight review sites recommending the Tube, but I hadn't seen anything about the UC01 yet. This form factor is very intriguing to me.

    I Think I'm Looking for 2 EDC Flashlights to Replace My Fenix E01

    Thanks. I've set up my "system" with rechargeable AA and AAA. I have several chargers and lots of those cells. It's simplest because we're already using those sizes in the remotes and battery razors etc. On another note. I've done a bit of experimenting with pocket carry and I definitely...

    Thanks. I don't think I'm eligible. What do you need to do to get subbed?

    I Think I'm Looking for 2 EDC Flashlights to Replace My Fenix E01

    Thanks. The Convoy looks very nice, but I see it takes a 18650 battery. I'm really only looking for a AA, AAA or in-flashlight rechargeable. The Emisar D4 is a bit confusing. I'm not sure I'm looking at the right one. Is it $40? Is it available on Amazon?

    I Think I'm Looking for 2 EDC Flashlights to Replace My Fenix E01

    Thanks guys. I really appreciate the budget-minded-ness. I did see the Nitecore Tip and Tube. I am intrigued by the USB charging. They didn't have that when I got my E01. I'm wondering if the Tip might not fit the bill for both functions (of course not a physically big light, but I could...

    I Think I'm Looking for 2 EDC Flashlights to Replace My Fenix E01

    I have a Fenix E01. I don't like it much. It's too small in the hand, it's a little too big on the keychain, I don't like the bulb is exposed, I feel like it could be/should be brighter, no clip, don't like the twist-on control. I'm thinking what will work best for me is two lights, one...

    Looking for an Inexpensive Flashlight to be my Headlight

    I thought the blinking on my Romisen was an indication of low batteries, but yesterday most of the commute the light was blinking, but never died. Today it didn't blink at all. It isn't heat either because it was cooler today than yesterday and both days were below 60. Why is it blinking...
