I have one Olight s15 baton it is a 1AA, 2AA, or 3AA. I really like it even though it is 5 years old. I had some 4sevens lights I liked but they no longer exist and imho there customer service sucked!!!!!! That is probably why they are no more. I can’t afford Surefire so I have mainly been a Streamlight guy. There lights aren’t the latest or brightest but Customer service is great. The micro stream USB is my current EDC. Good to see alternatives to Olight being reviewed!

I now have one and this is by far the best review. Was a little confused at first between coming out of lock out mode. Anything but a short press followed by a longer press will not work. I intuitively figured it would be a long press followed by a short press, I was wrong.
@ridefastjumphigh4205 жыл бұрын
I really like the Nitecore P12GTS. After 3 months of use, the only thing I don't really like is the power indicator light. Don't get me wrong, it's great to check the voltage quickly by unscrewing the tail cap a full turn and then tightening it to engage the battery. I also like that a single press of the mode button gives you between one to three blinks to indicate the power level. What I'm not a big fan of and this is being picky, is that when it's in use, the blue light around the mode button continuously blinks when the battery is lower than 50%. It does the job of warning you anyhow.

I have been looking for a small usb-rechargeable flashlight for EDC purposes. But I'm not convinced about this one. it's probably very hard to replace the battery when it fails. And even though they expressly mention that they use Li-ion batteries, I find that hard to believe when there is a mode that fully drains it in 15 minutes. That would damage the battery in no time, so I suspect they use LiPo instead.

Hey bud. My main question is durability. I have been trying to find a EDC light for almost a year. I have tried 3 now and each one has it's own issues. 2 of my main complaints is: Too many gizmos on it. I need high, low and OFF. That's in. I don't need a light show or SOS mode. and two: I need it strong. It goes in my pocket. I bend over, crawl on the ground, carry heavy things that lean against my pockets etc etc. Actually, a 3rd complaint. Some of these light costs. Companies are being stupid when they think they have something original. Keep a light under 50 bucks. If it costs more than that it's not a EDC Light.
