Size Matters
On average, EDC flashlights range in size from about four to six inches. This, of course, is a personal preference and is not a set-in-stone rule, but rather a general guide. Please note that there are some overlapping areas when discussing every day carry lights and keychain lights. For the most part, though, EDC flashlights are hand-held and are designed to fit in the palm of said hand. Weight is another factor to consider as the flashlight is meant for carrying around at all times. We recommending keeping your EDC flashlights to weigh around 6 ounces, for the best in portability.
EDC Flashlights are for the "Average Person"
Let's be honest - not everyone is as enthusiastic about flashlight as we are. The reality is that they simply have not yet been educated on the vast array of benefits there are from carrying a small, hand-held flashlight around. For starters, you absolutely need an every day carry light in case of an emergency. What if the power goes out at work and you need to stumble out to your car in the dark parking lot to go home? While some may argue that there is a flashlight app on every cell phone nowadays, how badly are you going to feel when the battery in your cell phone dies because you wasted it navigating to your car? Not to mention that these EDC flashlights are tremendously brighter and throw a better beam than the phone.
An every day carry light really doesn't need to be any brighter than 2000 lumens. This is something you are going to be carrying in your pocket, or on your hip, so you don't want the light to get too hot. More importantly, you don't want to blind your colleagues. EDC flashlights are also available with multiple output modes to accommodate every illuminating need.
