I too have been searching for a better EDC light.. but my search was waylaid by SR-101, SR-77, & Infi.

I've ditched MagLite 2xAA bulb types long ago.. the bulbs burn out/break way too fast.. not enough light for the weight/size carried.

SureFires, arguably among the best money can buy.. but the specialty Lithium batts are kinda out of my league for what i wanna do.

So I'm on the Hunt for a good LED, small, pocket carry, long batt life w/ normal AA or AAA.

In the meantime i'm packing a humble lil Dorcy 1AAA LED (~$7.99 @ Walmart)

I wouldn't go hunting Zombies with it on a moonless night! but this one's so small it's with me Everywhere for EDC.. and a single AAA battery lasts Months with this LED.
