I'm looking for a new EDC flashlight, and I'm hoping you people can help me find it.
If I could design my own flashlight it would have these features, if you know of any that meet these requirements let me know.
1. Two controls. One should be a momentary button on the tail cap, for short pulses of activation of ONE MODE ONLY. If you push it till it clicks, it will stay on. The other separate control, selects the modes. You should be able to set the mode, and leave it for a year. When you come back to use it, it will be in the same mode you left it in. Preferably some sort of dial maybe...?
2. At least 3 modes of brightness. Around 100 lumens, 300 lumens, and 500 or higher lumens. (An infinite dial may be acceptable)
3. Reliable, good quality.
4. Pocket sized.
5. Waterproof to like 1 meter or so.
6. Drop resistant to like 6 feet or so.
Things I don't care about:
Type of battery
Belt clip
Plastic or aluminum
Strobe
Tactical bezel
Color
