    What is the largest EDC you've ever carried?

    Surefire C3 or U2. Too big for pockets really but the brightest compact lights I had at the times.

    When was the last time you actually needed to use a flash light for 7 or more hours

    Probably Hurricane Florence in 2018. Even then it was usually Streamlight Siege D cell lanterns more than flashlights or headlamps. After a few days we had to get more conservative though as we couldn’t get out and we used D batteries in our fans to help sleep at night as well. I definitely left...

    A quality thrower

    Maglite ML150LR is an option that’s U.S.A. made. I’ve been using mine nightly since I got it as a gift in October. Throw wise it’s one of the best I’ve ever used. My Stanley fat max spotlight might throw further but not by much and it’s a lot less conducive to carrying around.

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    I disagree, they still have some innovative designs. I’m starting my third year carrying a Stiletto daily and I’ve not found a better EDC light and I have dozens of options. They don’t have as much legoability as the older designs and Malkoffs have but they’re still extremely well built and...

    you are only allowed one flash light for rest of your life.What is it ?

    Surefire YG Aviator. A good mix of runtime, size and throw. As well as being fairly versatile. My first pick was a Surefire EDCL-2T but I think the Aviator has a bit more utility.

    why so much hate towards electric cars?

    I don’t hate them but I locally I don’t think our grid can handle the charging draw if everyone had one. I also don’t think the technology is mature enough and battery wise may not be for a long time. They’re perfect for urban areas with short commutes but in rural areas I don’t see them being...

    I’ve Been revisiting some old favorite lights lately.

    I modded mine and put a Maglite Led module in it. I think I had to cut the reflector a bit.

    Or dropped it in 25 ft of water off the side of the boat.

    how much throw do we need ? really!

    On the water as much as I can get. On land it depends on what I’m doing. Around my yard maybe 60-70 yards of throw at the most. On the farm, up to 500 yards. Flood is great but when the humidity is like it is currently a thrower is the way to go.

    Surefire

    There are two new dual fuel combat lights on Surefire’s website. Both are 1500 lumen and one has the intellibeam feature. Also noticed the EDCL’s have new tail caps.

    Streamlight Scorpion - Never too late to learn something new

    This is a fun trip down memory lane. The Streamlight TL3 also had that spare bulb storage. I still have one of those rattling around in the second glove box of my work truck. It replaced a Surefire C3 with an SRTH that I really couldn’t afford at the time.

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    This is par for the course for Surefire. They may be having supply issues or the lights failed testing or QC in some way. It’s been like this since at least 2002 or 3 when I first started paying attention to this forum and Surefire’s catalogs. I hope they’re introduced but wouldn’t hold my breath.

    The official PKDL thread

    I was using mine outside tonight and thinking of how I like it. Go on CPF and see the thread notifications, funny how that works. It looks similar to your old one. I think it’s one of PK’s best designs.

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    I look forward to trying them both out. Surefire has always had some of the throwers that still had spill out of any brand I’ve owned. Today I stuck an EDCL-1t in my vest pocket when going duck hunting as my spotlight for things my flood ZL headlamp couldn’t quite reach.

    Anyone edc a surefire?

    I carry a Stiletto daily as well as a Titan plus on my keychain. The Stiletto has been great and while I don’t love it’s proprietary battery it’s features outweigh the drawback. At night I sometimes switch the Stiletto for a Stiletto pro or an EDCL-2T.
