Olight s1r baton II. I’m a medic and the versatility and brightness settings are simply amazing for work or play. Hat clip is used often when I need both hands to complete tasks, easily recharged, magnetic base is a plus as well. It’s simply perfection

[@SimeonTsvetanov]

My fav. EDC flashlight is Olight H1R Nova. Small, powerful and most importantly, can be used for headlamp. Keep up the good work Taylor.

[@tanner0808]

EDC light of choice: Olight S1R II CU. Love copper and the olight line. I have about 9 different Olight products and I do not regret any of my purchases! My back up light is the I1R EOS. I have one on every set of keys I own. As always; 2 is 1 and 1 is none.

[@robertoceja7875]

The flashlight I use most is my Rovyvon Aurora A3. Very compact, USB rechargable and easily clips onto my hat which really helps out when I'm at work and get caught in the dark.

[@aaronbates9868]

My favorite edc flashlight is the olight i1r EOS it’s so small and it’s on my keys but yet it’s so bright I love that little thing and it’s also rechargeable

[@chriscon8463]

Aaron Bates I’ve had one on my keychain too for a few months now. I love it!

[@aaronbates9868]

Yes it’s so nice I was very surprised with how bright it was

[@BrentfromTx]

my favorite has been the olight s1 baton. i lost it once winter camping in Utah. hiking back to the car 2 days later, i found it still on working. ive also run it through the washing machine 2 or 3 times and after replacing the battery still working like a champ!

[@k_sey.9370]

Not related to this video, but I just stumbled across tour channel today at work, & just had to say that I’m addicted. I recently began gathering ideas for my EDC, & really appreciate what you are doing. Carry on!

[@bosingleton2155]

Thanks bro I just went and ordered my M1T and love the video.

[@BenjiPenjiFPV]

My favorite EDC flashlight is an Oveready BOSS 70. I love the programmability, the 3500lumen output, secondary LED (as to not ruin night vision), CRI, and durability. Dan and Tom are great guys and have always taken care of me when it comes to warranty as well.

[@jcthetree]

Thank you Taylor for the recommendations. The wallet is on my wish list and I think the bit vault is now on my to save for list! Thanks again for the comments.

[@mentalpirate96]

EDC flashlight of choice is the rovyvon Aurora A4 Ti, got one on order after viewing your video (can't wait for it to arrive), all the points you talked about helped me upgrade from my ledlenser k2 that I have carried for the past few years.

[@Smoke_Bang]

Currently my favorite is the olight i3t eos. I love it for the compact size and simple operation. Also the standard AAA is a huge plus. The i3t eos is sufficient enough for a non work edc however for work I’ve been looking for something a little bigger. The raider seems like a great option. I work in fire and water disaster mitigation and restoration and often times I get called to a house that flooded in the middle of the night. Having the raider would be a huge plus when doing inspections and having to work in the utility room with a light bulb out because their water heater busted. Thanks Taylor love the vids.

[@kylepeck2478]

My favorite EDC light is the Olight S1R Baton II Summer. Matches all my copper gear

[@EricRumfelt]

My favorite EDC flashlight is a clone of a Surefire 3P that I made when I was taking classes for machining. I programmed and turned the body, but used an OEM bezel and tailcap. I also dropped in a Malkoff m31 engine.

[@xJumbo13]

My favorite edc flashlight is the fenix pd35. I like it because my father carries it and has for years. This light is what made me get into edc and actually taking pride in what I carry. Love the videos! Keep up the great work!!

[@koleandres2166]

My favorite edc flashlight is the olight i3t eos, it’s the perfect size to disappear in my jeans but be there when I need it. It has two modes that is bright enough whenever I need it such as dropped things under the couch or looking under my truck. It has the super common AAA battery if it ever runs out. My grail flashlight is the SR2 Baton which I would carry on my belt in the leather sheath that you show all the time. It has lumens to spare and is a perfect size when on the belt sheath. I can’t see how people carry huge lights so I think that’s the perfect big light but not too big. Love the show #GAW

[@fredkarasek859]

The Zebralight H52w AA headlight with the Cree XM-L2 emitter in neutral white is my EDC flashlight using a 3.7v Li-ion cell and equipped with a deep carry pocket clip.

[@TheTahoeJohn]

Favorite EDC flashlight... Olight H1R Nova. Yes it is actually sold as a head lamp, however this right angle light also comes with a pocket clip making this one of the most practical and useful flashlights in the illumination industry. With its magnetic base and 600 lumen capacity it is perfect for everyday use in almost an situation.

[@Thak00l1]

I'm an optician, my favorite edc flashlight happens to be a cheap $5 Bass pro keychain light (much of my gear is budget friendly).. it sounds weird but works wonders for me..the low lumen output allows me to use it practically every day for optical measurements, yet isn't so bright that it hurts your eyes (especially after someone has been dilated). It fits easily in my pocket, and the keychain allows me to retrieve it quickly during busy days.

[@hattrickscorer33]

Olight i3teos because its small bright and batteries can literally be picked up everywhere. The pocket clip can be used on a hat to work on a hat or on ny shoulder on my vest at work to free up my hands love this light! Huge fan of olight thanks to this channel

[@mustakrakish]

My favorite is my Olight IE3 EOS Cu. I saw it on one of your videos and it lives on my keychain. It doesn’t have a bunch of obnoxious modes and looks very nice with a patina

[@thejoshmethod]

My favorite flashlight is the Olight S2R Baton 2. It has a very long lasting battery, several modes for brightness, and it's rechargable. I use my flashlight everyday for work so it is a good for me to have a reliable light. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@skulpturlamm294]

I love my Sofirn SP10 V2.0, mainly because it has a metal button. The interface is exactly how I like it (hidden strobe and memory), can be used with a broadly available aa battery, it's natural white, it's affordable and it is the perfect size. Plus it comes in blue.

[@wyntonscott7039]

Favorite: Olight s2r ii Baton Grail: Olight s2r ii Baton, but done in the Summer (copper) or Winter (titanium) style Why: Convenience, multi-modal, and reliability even in bad conditions. The convenience of the magnetic rechargeable base made me switch from my original edc flashlight, the Fenix PD35 , because while that model has a rechargeable battery, you have to remove it in order to do so. With the s2r, just plop it down and a simple red or green light tells you when you're good to go - it's essentially the closest to a flashlight equivalent of wireless phone charging that I've seen. The multi-modes are great for a variety of purposes- I tend to use the moonlight mode to get around without waking up dormmates, or the high when I'm walking at night. A strobe is always a good option, and this one will leave anyone on the receiving end reeling. With ridiculous battery life, the s2r can go weeks without a recharge if you aren't a terribly demanding or high-end user. It's handled plenty of drops with barely any sign of damage, and the only wear on mine is where the finish rubs up against my pocket. If I'm backpacking and have it in my pocket, I don't have to worry about it dying on me as I might with a lower-level water resistance flashlight. The only way I would love mine more is if I had it in a nicer material, titanium for everyday use and copper for a dressier look- and I want the s2r over the s1r because of battery life. Also, I would love to hear your opinions on the new Free line by Leatherman. I know the Wave + is a community standard, but I think the new lines P4 model might outclass it, even if it's pricer. A full video comparing all of that line up would be great! Keep up the good work.

[@TheGraniteBear]

My favorite flashlight for EDC is the Streamlight Stylus Pro. Just love how I can tuck it in the side of my pocket in my jeans, Dress pants, or shorts and still fit my hand in for to get my keys. I want to update mine to the USB chargeable version later this year.

[@RogueRanger20]

Pretty new to the "official" EDC game, but having run across your channel, it's awesome to see such an involved community gathering around and sharing their EDC gear. I almost get giddy seeing the notification pop up for a new vid that showcases all the unique carries. Awesome show and keep the videos coming, brotha!

[@SE_Tanks]

My favorite EDC light is the Olight S1R Baton II Winter, I'm a big fan of the titanium finish as well as the magnetic end.

[@FightingTemplar]

Favorite light is the lumen top tool AAA. I like it because it’s a small AAA light that has a clicky tail switch. It also turns on in the medium mode, which is nice.

[@edrodriguez9144]

My favorite EDC flashlight is the M1T Raider flashlight from Olight, because it is small and uses one CR123 battery, which puts out the lumens. Take Care and Thx for your show, its cool and keeps me informed on the EDC community. Ed R.

[@bbbluesfan_1]

Prior to my recent acquisition of an S1R Baton, my favorite torch was a Fenix LD12: It’s an easy carry, and yet it throws plenty of light for my usual needs. If, however, I need instant daylight, then I’ll go to one of my trusty Redline Select tactical lights that I have scattered throughout my home and truck.

[@1germzap]

My Grail flashlight is the Fenix PD 25. What I'm using now is the Atomic Beam I bought at Walmart. I was looking for a quick replacement after I broke a cheap one from Wish. Great videos Taylor!

[@TrygK]

MY FAVORITE EDC FLASHLIHT: 4 Sevens Preon 2 I like it for a few reasons: Form, Function and Fashion. Form: 2 AAA batteries make it about the size of a pen, which makes it easy to keep in my back pocket Function: programmable modes but i usually keep it on the high-med-low and it provides enough light for use on the shop[ floor Fashion: ALL BLACK.

[@peterarmetta2894]

My favorite edc flashlight is the olight s1r baton 2 (summer.) Great output in a small package. Love the knurling and it looks great next to my hinderer extreme pen in copper.

[@jilliancrampton678]

Favorite flashlight to date has to be my RovyVon Aurora A1. Level of lumens I need, small form factor, and no matter how long I leave it in a bag always seems to hold it's charge. Thanks for the recommendation Taylor 👍

[@knight2032]

My favorite light is the stream light stylus. I am on my second one in 7 years and I love it. To save space and get a brighter light for the size I have been eyeballing the usb micro stream in coyote. I really enjoy this series!

[@DaftdogUK]

EDC flash is the Thorfire TG06S, single AA or 14500 li-ion, max 500 lumens, IPX8 waterproof. Only £15 from Amazon UK. Very nicely made for the money, and an excellent budget light.

[@matthewhahn4856]

The olight sr2 baton is a great EDC flashlight! Mine works great for everyday use and use on emergency calls at night. The rechargeable feature is awesome.

[@dylanbaril951]

light of choice: I3T EOS because its small and disapears in the pocket but is still super bright when you need it!

[@brunoamendes]

Suggestion for John Smith: Lamy Pico in gray! Flashlights: I carry the Rovyvon Aurora A5R in the keychain and the A8U in the neck . In the Arc wallet I put the Olight I3T EOS, and in my jacket I carry the Klarus XT1C (2019 version). The Rovyvon are small and versatile for EDC use and I use them more than once day indoor and outdoor. The I3T is a "back up" light, and the XT1C is my "night walks" light, as it has strobe in case it is needed for signaling my position in the streets! Before the XT1C I was using the Olight M2R Warrior, but it is bigger and heavier and not so much pocket-friendly!

[@orlandot]

I just purchased and received my grail torches from Olight; the S1R Baton II & S2R Baton II. But I do have to say after watching your RovyVon video I did purchase the A5 UV for work but had to upgrade to the plights because I used it so much and needed something with a longer battery life. Will be using the RV A5 for my truck edc or camping gear.

[@stuartmacdonald7241]

I really like this “complete my carry” format 👍🏻

[@nepalmer24]

Favorite edc flashlight of mine is the Prometheus Beta QR with a pocket clip. Super small and fits perfect in the corner of my left pocket. I’ve carried it every day for the 4 years and the finish on it is near perfect.

[@LupusRexOmni]

My favorite EDC light (so far) is the Streamlight Stylus Pro. They're easy to find at hardware, and camping/sporting goods stores, and can be bought fairly cheap. They also take super common batteries. I've had the same stylus pro in my pocket almost daily for the last 3 years!

[@notanoverlord]

My EDC light is the Streamlight ProTac 1l-1aa. It’s light and throws light really well for the size. It also takes a few different batteries which is convenient. Grail light hasn’t been invented

[@1ozofdro]

My got to light is the streamlight stylus, it has just enough lumens to get the job done. I work as a Boilermaker in the refinery industry and some times we need to inspect gaskets and bolts on valves, and it comes in more than useful as an inspection light, so much so that most of my buddies have been turned on to use it too.

[@michaelescay1260]

Great job Taylor. Like the recommendations made. Grail light would be the ThruNite MINI TN30. Produces a beam pattern at 3660 lumens, has rechargeable lithium ion batteries, and is portable (well, relatively speaking). Not that expensive too, so maybe not a grail in the financial sense, but just one Id really like to try out once my current ones in the garage need changing. This would come in handy for car work and keeping vampires at bay. Best to u and the family.

[@eatalittle]

My favorite Olight is the S1R Baton because it has been with me for over 2 years and still works as it did new!

[@JoeBplus12]

Favorite is my olight in Copper because it's my first. Grail would be AAA size, light weight, USB charging, multi brightness and strobe with a side light like the rovy von. Maybe a rotating bezel to zoom and flood.

[@elipeppin1916]

My favorite edc flashlight would be the streamlight microstream USB it's decently bright and only $50

[@GregoryCWW]

My favourite EDC flashlight is easily the Manker E02. Great moonlight mode, impressively compact, powerful for its size, memory and an otherwise easy-to-use interface and it even looks nice. Got the E02H myself (which is the same but comes with a headband) which is a useful extra to have.

[@Marlah4]

I work as an electrician and my favorite edc Flash is the olight M2R warrior! It’s ridiculously bright and super durable!

[@billymouratidis845]

I have 2 favorite EDC flashlights and they are the Rovyvon Aurora for how compact and bright it is for the size and the fact that its rechargeable. My other one has to be the Streamlight Microstream USB because it fits perfectly in my pocket or on a hat with its dual pocket clip!

[@nathanoh8910]

I love my olight s1r, small, lightweight, usable as a hat light for hands free use, and the magnetic charging base make it great for grabbing off the charger when in a hurry

[@Leftyguitars2a]

Olight S2 Baton. Carries deep. Battery life is great. Has 4 different brightness settings including the ultra dim “moonlight” setting as well as a defensive strobe setting.

[@CthonautWrangler]

My favorite edc flashlight is FourSevens Preon P1 in Copper. Mostly because it’s not a super common light that I’ve seen a lot of folks carry. Also, it is AAA so it’s easy to have spare batteries if needed yet it’s still super bright for everything I need it for and the size is about the same length of my KeyBar so it’s very pocket friendly.

[@craigvitatoe6334]

Olight S1R II Baton Winter Limited Edition. I love all the different light settings from low to super bright. I love the clip as it comes in handy to clip onto my hat.

[@evertmarjee]

Favourite flashlight would have to be the Olight S2R Baton. Its a great light for everyday and the moonlight feature is unbeatable when you dont want to disturb anyone in the house.

[@jdshadow5003]

my favorite EDC flashlight is the Olight S1 Baton. Thanks for always giving us such awesome content. I have learned so much from these episodes!

[@enochjukie]

Favorite edc light is the Lumintop AAA Tool. Have one in aluminum that is 3 years of daily use with no problems. Bought a second made of copper because copper.

[@LeetRngr]

Favorite EDC light is a surefire 6p. Trust me I know it's on the bigger side but being a veteran it just brings back great memories for me.

[@austinpace2370]

My favorite flashlight currently is the Thrunite T10 V2. It’s a pretty solid light and was actually my first side switch lights as well as an early magnetic tail cap. It does its job without being overly complicated. That said I would love to have an Olight S2R II Baton in brass if they ever make one.

[@LastStarfighterAJ]

My favourite EDC flashlight is an HDS Systems Rotary. Grail is a Surefire Guardian. Hard to get the latest Surefire lights in the UK because Surefire don’t really export.

[@danielrouvel5951]

I'm happy to say that my favorite and grail flashlight also is the one that I am carrying everyday. It's the olight s1r baton 2. It fits perfectly in my utility pocket and is bright enough for any everyday task. I also carry it as a backup light at work, since I am a police officer in Germany it's important to have high quality gear with a great performance witch never fails on you. Love your channel, keep up the good work Daniel

[@RogueRanger20]

I was a fan of the UltraFire Mini Cree LED until I lent it out to a bud who unfortunately lost the front lens assembly in the woods. As a cheap alternative it was very functional for my daily needs and had a floodlight to spotlight zoom option that was easy to fidget with. Plus it looked pretty BA... IMO. Looking to replace soon, hopefully with an OLIGHT M1T Raider!

[@michaelgamino4685]

My favorite as of right now is my RovyVon Aurora A5 because of all the neat features in it like the reading light on the side, that it is glows in the dark, how small and insanely bright it is, etc. There’s just not much not to like about it. I use it literally every day since I’ve gotten it. As for my grail light, probably the olight S1R 2 or the S2R 2 just because they seem to be an excellent fit for what i need a flashlight for (not too small and not too large) and for all the neat features they have on them, especially the ease of charging for it.

[@samuelsteinmann1007]

My favorite light is the Bell+Howell Taclight because of its many functions and also because it is extremely bright and I can change how wide I want to make the light.

[@tarikhadziomerovic8508]

Fenix LD15, daily carry it for 8 years now, has never let me down. Found it in a shop for a very good price and bought several imediatly.

[@sunshyn21]

My EDC flashlight is a streamlight microstream. It's small and light and puts out the light I need for my everyday use. My Grail light is a boss clicky 70 in titanium because it is simply amazing!

[@ryanwilliams9459]

Favourite flash lite it the olight s1r batton 2, love the output modes and the deep knurling. Great video Taylor

[@jasonphillips5475]

New to EDC PLATFORM. VERY ADDICTIVE but I love the new found life organization. CLEAR is the best way I can describe this experience. ✊🏾

[@brandonwilliams5903]

I know it’s a bit out there but I’d have to say my Olight Mini Valkyrie has to be my favorite EDC flashlight. I carry it on my M&P 2.0 Compact. I also carry a Olight M2R Warrior, but knowing the Valkyrie has the potential of saving my life it definitely carries a decent amount of weight. I’m definitely an Olight fanboy at this point and I definitely plan to expand my collection, but I enjoy seeing all the other lights featured on the show! Keep it up man! Great stuff!

[@paulgiles7456]

fenix pd35 v2.0 is my favourite edc flashlight. It’s nice and simple to use, fits into my pocket well. I use it every day for work and around the house.

[@jammey6009]

My favorite EDC light is my streamlight microstream because I am a student and it fulfills the most important criteria, budget oriented whilst being highly effective.

[@bayleyanderson9848]

My favourite edc flashlight is the olight s2a baton because its slim, cheap and takes standard batteries which are easy to find. It also has a max output of around 350 lumens which is perfect for my edc tasks.

[@thesmoothracoon3652]

My current is the Lumintop tool. My grail light is the Olight S1RII. Love the size of both and the Olight just cant be beat

[@fleshwound800]

The flashlight I would like to get one day is the Olight S1r Baton II - Winter. It sounds like it is the perfect light and I really love the matte Ti finish of the winter edition. I road bike and mt bike a lot and think this light would be great for carrying during the day, and then I could use it for a light for riding at night when the sun starts setting earlier or find myself out later than planned.

[@JoelMartinez-dg6fz]

My dad had bought a used truck once. We decided to clean the truck and in between the seats we found this light. The light is honestly pretty cool but I just love it because the way we found it was just so cool and funny.

[@joetrenshaw5904]

Olight I3T EOS AAA in copper. I've recently fallen in love with copper EDC gear. I, like you, love the patina over time and don't mind the weight. AAA is super convenient for me so I don't need to worry about charging it, but can just have a couple spare batteries in my backpack. Love the channel, keep it up!

[@tacticalteen4342]

Favorite light would be the Olight S1r baton. Its compact but still has plenty of power for my needs.

[@craigmarshall8521]

My favorite EDC flashlight is the Tec Accessories pixel flashlight in titanium. I haven't ever carried a large dedicated flashlight and having this light on my keychain has been very convenient because I don't even notice that it's there.

[@HuskyMERCENARIO]

Olight S2R baton 2 I work security and I use it as my secondary light helps with jotting notes down at night with its moonlight mode and the reversible clip works great with the brim of my hat

[@ehudster]

My favorite is definitely the lumintop copper tool AAA. Super well made and I just love the patina on it

[@reafkennedy3069]

I love my Olight s1a baton. Its great size and runs on 1 AA battery. You can get them anywhere and if it runs down you can just change the battery. Might try a I3TEOS.

[@matthewdokmanovic]

Hands down my favorite EDC flashlight is the Surefire EDCL1T. It lends itself well to both EDC tasks and tactical uses, due to its " gas peddle" tail cap. A light press of the tail cap gives you 5 lumens and a full press gives you 500 lumens.

[@oscarherrera3510]

I’m new to the edc game and heard that Olight is a great flashlight maker, this was around the time they dropped the i3teos in copper. It quickly became the grail the used and the abused. Love that light 💡

[@larrywilson8914]

My favorite edc light is the rovyvon Aurora because it's small enough to fit on my key chain and still really bright.

[@romeoroze2357]

Fav edc light. Cabela's $5 light it's on key chain . It works. Olight will be nice never had one. Grail = anything with good high lumens ( copper or brass)

[@dropkickengage2194]

Love the channel, it has become my Friday night go to after the kids have been put to bed. And without question the best flashlight is the Surefire Backup MV.

[@nightsquats]

Fav: olight s1mini = front pocket ease of carry, headlamp on baseball cap, and micro usb charge batteries instead of tail cap charge means no down time as I carry a charged spare battery. Grail: thrunite v6 catapult = not sarcastically expensive, great distance thrower which is what my collection lacks. Cheers!

[@Markb.photography]

Favorite Light has to be the Olight i3t eos in copper... never thought i would get a compliment on a flashlight but i do all the time at work..

[@tomjokr]

I carry a Nebo redline flashlight, it is relatively cheap, usb rechargeable, has high low and turbo modes, decent battery life and one thing I’ve never heard about olights, it does have a zoom function which is used a fair bit

[@brandonchitwood8252]

So I know I’m a bit late, but in reference to John and his hollow point pen problem, you could just polish that pen back to a lovely shiny brass, or allow it to patina to your liking then either have it clear coated or clear coat it yourself. That will prevent the chemical reaction between the brass and leather and allow you to stick to the wallet and pen you seem to enjoy the most. Just my two cents and I hope it can help!

[@tomryan44]

The Olight H1R Nova, I had this light for a good two years with continual use working at night. Along with being magnetic made it the perfect edc light!

[@drnasty3395]

My favorite flashlight so far has been the Led Lenser P5.2. The only downside with that is that there's no pocketclip. I like a small-ish flashlight with a tail switch and a reasonable lumen output.

[@kibflowers1599]

My daily is the i3t copper. It just looks cool and it's small enough to not know it's there. My work light is the railhead gear KE- FL 1065 800 lumen USB rechargeable.

[@jamesly6456]

Olight s2r baton ii would be my grail light. That two way clip and the magnetic butt would make it so easy to mount in whatever situation. Can’t wait to get one eventually.

[@JL_1021]

Olight S2R II is my ultimate edc light. The only way that I think it could be topped would be if it was offered in a "winter" raw titanium edition. Keep up the good work B.D.Edc!

[@verygood8116]

EDC choice - Olight Baton II - simple design and charging means I don't have to guess at the battery charge left compared to AA

[@damianospinoso5624]

Love the Massdrop copper AAA. It’s small, bright enough and has a metal tail button which works great
