I guess that an EDC flashlight is like an EDC knife...it depends on where you spend your ED... I carry a Streamlight Protac because it uses CR123A batteries jut like my Leica Rangefinder Binos so I only need carry one type of spare; Is waterPROOF to IPX7, not waterRESISTANT (like most all USB rechargeables); Is shock tested to 2m vs 1m... ...and there are pretty much no USB's anywhere around! 
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

I carry the Streamlight Stylus Pro. It is the size of an ink pen, and people often mistake it for one. Usually in my tshirt pocket. When wearing a polo style shirt it clips into the v-neck area b eneath the bottom button.
Lumens are one thing and "throw" is another. A 350 lumen light without throw engineered in is a close-up use light. The 100 lumen Stylus pro has the throw to light our beagle up at 60 and 70 yards away on her late night yard forays.
It is water proof, bomb proof, and idiot proof. Simple, and without adjustable brightness, 2 triple A batteries last a LONG time.
Intrinsically safe design allows it to be used in hazardous atmospheres.
This is the one flashlight most guys need. +1. I carry one everyday in my shirt pocket. I'll give one a try. Well, I am not seeing that they're safety rated. A couple of the Stylus UL models are....

I am surprised nobody rocks an Olight. They make a multitude of amazing products...Everyone in my shop at work carries one kind or another. All purchased ourselves and converted by seeing what they can do daily. Apparently you didn’t read the whole thread. 😜 This is the Olight that’s my daily carry and that I highly recommend. https://www.batteryjunction.com/olight-s1r-ii-baton-flashlight.htmlMissed it. Didn't follow link. I feel better now.

I've been daily carrying the Streamlight Microstream compact tac light for several years now. Clips right in the corner of your front pocket. Plenty bright. Takes one AAA battery. Beware of forgeries. ![[Linked Image from images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61kYUmAmOGL._SL1500_.jpg) Yep. This one.

I carry in all my vehicles and house, a light called the LED Lenser. Runs on 4 "AAA" batteries and has an adjustable lens so that you can go from spot to Flood. Very bright with a lot of throw! Bought them from Grainger many years ago after seeing them at the Grainger show in Orlando.
Also in my work truck is a Streamlight ProTac HL3....at 1,100 lumens….WOW, bastid will light up anything I need at quite a distance!

My Streamlight Microstream USB light arrived today. First impressions: Very nice little light. I like the low power first default. The high power "double click" is a bit tricky to learn (don't depress it all the way on the first click) and that isn't in the instructions. The USB cord is only three inches long, but any standard USB cable works. I also like the lanyard they include.
