Eagletac D25C Best EDC Flashlight of 2016

[@johnbrisbane4676]

I have carried a Sunwayman V10R and V11R for 5 years. Both put out 500 lumens but with an infinate variable adjust. I turn on and custom adjust the exact amount of light I need. Second best, my Nitecore EC11! Simply Awesome. 900 lumens with a reflector leagues ahead of countless lights.

[@skeightboon9116]

I've had the D25c ti with glow in the dark clicky for 3 years now. Best light ever! Still no desire to replace it

[@livingsurvival]

nice.

[@Madman6505]

I'm really digging mine so far. I don't know if you mentioned it but with memory turned on the flashlight will even memorize the special modes. So for instance you could put it on beacon, turn off the flashlight, then later when you want beacon, just turn on the flashlight. Fantastic.

[@geeme5462]

I'm a maintenance for 306 units. I use the Thrunite and it's been my EDC. I also carry a Jetbeam Jet MK2. I have many more but those are my EDC

[@roundmott]

I was impressed with the light. Ordered two of them immediately for Christmas gifts. I really like the way the lights look on your video and the Cree models I received look amazing. The size is unbelievably small for all their features. Look forward to eventually actually owning one of my own. :-)

[@livingsurvival]

who did you order from?

[@livingsurvival]

roundmot Definitely not worried about any compensation brother, don't worry about that. I just wanted to know if the link I provided was where you purchased it so I know if people are having issues. I think Amazon and GoingGear are the two places listed. If it's Amazon I would file a dispute for sure.

[@pigpaul]

still love that beast Nitecore MH20 had that for the last year. for work and conceal carry. looked into the mini monster as my next purchase. I'm in Vegas working at the casinos. love the channel!! have a happy new year!

[@Madman6505]

I just ordered the all titanium version of this. I agree Ben, changing modes by half-pressing is way better than 'press-and-hold', because it's faster.

[@complicatedmfer1557]

Wish more people knew about eagletac..they are excellent lights. I really miss my 2 that i sold on eBay. I had that same light but it was the twisty and then I had the 740 lumen d25c2 I believe. Damn I miss them!

[@roundmott]

Bought two of them, gave as gifts. as I mentioned below. LOVE THEM!!! Buying a third for myself. Remembered to use the goinggear link this time. Thanks again.

[@charlescollier7217]

I'm super late to this dance, Ben, but thanks for the review! I hope all is well with you and the family.

[@tmerrick24]

Great intro and song at the end. The middle was cool too, I have to check that light out.

[@livingsurvival]

thanks Thomas.

[@jamesk2458]

I EDC an EagleTac d25a NW and it's awesome! Def got you on what you said about its ease of use. I use group 1 (with the 0.5 lumen moonlight). Def will look at getting a d25c for that extra oomph! Take care Ben!

[@gamevlogs2415]

I carry the Fenix ld22 everyday. all day, i use it all the time. i keep it in my back right pocket. dont even feel it anymore. favorite flashlight so far.

[@livingsurvival]

too long for me brother, thanks for the comment.

[@gamevlogs2415]

+Living Survival Yes. it is pretty long but it fits perfect for the length of the back pocket. thank you for the videos

[@livingsurvival]

no, thank you for watching Kevin!

[@gamevlogs2415]

+Living Survival Almost to 100k subcribers. im pretty sure you get a Gold Play button at 100k. its the smaller one but still, could put it on your shelf behind you.

[@livingsurvival]

silver, 1 million is the gold and 10 million is the diamond ;)-

[@colecon1012]

Great review! I agree, the D25C is one of my favorite light as well. 100k right around the corner! Congratulations

[@livingsurvival]

thanks Cole.

[@saprissa9]

I hope you do a video of best portable charger of 2016.

[@XxPx3xNx6xUx1xNxX]

Have you tried the On The Road M3? (S1R clone) I use a flashlight every day at work and it's been my go-to for the past couple months. I'm really loving it for the amount of throw for a floody light and shortcut access to turbo.

[@lrodd247]

Ya man, I EDC that sexy lil light every day for work! Like that it can tail stand and rear clicky, love it. I carry an extra freshly recharged rcr123 in my backpack with it too. Great job Ben

[@livingsurvival]

can't agree more.

[@benterwellen]

fine video, i have never had an eagletac....ty for your views

[@livingsurvival]

great lights.

[@shanecal7]

Olight S1R for me, love that thing. Wouldn't know about it if it weren't for you!

[@collectorman7]

bonjour et belle vidéo , maintenant elle existe avec SFT40 et osram , laquelle des ces deux perles de lampes sera vraiment la plus thrower et qui aura la plus longue portée à votre avis ? je voudrais aller l'acheter et j'aime les deux perles , pouvez vous m'aider ? merci .

[@randyyeager]

Less than 400 subs to hit 100,000! Very cool Ben!

[@jacobmanalang8162]

the d25a and d25c ti are all i carry nowadays. my d25c ti has the beautiful nichia 219. i wish i was able to get the d25a ti in nichia also but even with the xp-l its still very nice. if the 18650 version had the same pocket clip i would own that as well. the beauty of the d25 is the slim body with deep carry pocket clip, rear clicky, and i love the ui. it trumps the olight s1 baton family for my usage. i want to try a rotary brightness adjustable light, and the manker e14...the manker e14 ui is pretty gross though lol highly agreed though...you and i have agreed about the d25 for quite a while now.

[@lucacadianalbert]

jacob manalang the d25a does come with Nichia 219 illuminationgear.com/products/eagtac-d25a-titanium-2017-clicky

[@jacobmanalang8162]

holy crap they actually have one in stock! they usually go super fast!

[@lucacadianalbert]

jacob manalang yeah foe some reason this one isn't selling as fast. maybe because the tint is a wee bit more on the cooler side at 5700k? Going gear also has some left in stock goinggear.com/eagletac-d25a-clicky-titanium-2017-1-x-aa-132-lumen-nichia-219-5700k-cri-92-led-flashlight.html

[@kumarramachandran6626]

love your reviews pal. would you consider this for camping?

[@Altema22]

Hey Ben, hope you have been well, and I guess you're not concerned about the power going out with all the wind here today! I had a question about the switch: Do you ever hit the switch to turn it off, but accidently NOT turn it off and it goes brighter? I had that problem on the MH20. I still like it, but have had a few instances where I woke my wife up by accident for that reason. I like the CR123 form factor as well, but for my part time job I need something small that can light up a 1,400 seat auditorium in one shot.

[@Dkguerilla]

im waiting till next year to get my flashlight...I think the rechargeable flashlight will be flooding the market next year....(I hope)

[@fatalfacial]

Hey there, I’m looking for some suggestions on my next flashlight purchase. I’m looking to replace my thrunite Ti nw, so I’m looking for a keychain light that has a click switch(Not a twist operation) it also needs to be single AAA, or possibly rechargeable. It also needs to have a reversible pocket clip so as the light can be mounted to the brim of a ball cap. Any ideas?

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

what are your thought about the EcoGear E300 flashlight, or those similar to it? ive found its extremely budget friendly sub $10 and quite durable so far for my usage. has option of AA or 14500 battery, 3 modes with the half click ability. i agree with you, love the half click to scroll thru the lighting modes!

[@livingsurvival]

have never seen or heard of it.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H2LKEW8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 imo you really get your full monies worth and then some. so far its been great for me. figured i can just treat it like i would a beater knife costing less than $10. i know alot of YT reviewers like to showcase high end items, you get what you pay for. but i would love to see some more low budget, high quality items get mention more often too.

[@Altema22]

I've bought a few lights like that from Amazon just to see what they were like. At least the ad for this one is fairly honest, as I've seen similar lights claiming 2,000 lumens.

[@heberclementiii6788]

Do you ever review Armytek products ?

[@livingsurvival]

i haven't yet.

[@chrisclews4162]

Thanks my friend, great vid. Keep up the great work

[@livingsurvival]

thanks Chris

[@benfelland]

Hey Ben, would you pick the d25 or an olight that runs the rcr123? Think it's the S1r?

[@BlueberryCaviar]

Fenix el1 you said? Where can I see more about that light?

[@davidwilliams3664]

What are the 2 pop vinyls on the shelf in the back? Look pretty cool :) great vid btw

[@livingsurvival]

i don't collect them or anything, they were gifts. one is a dude with a bow and the other is clark griswold from christmas vacation, lol.

[@davidwilliams3664]

ah sweet, just noticed them and thought I'd ask lol. Cool reviews man

[@shovelhead8]

Nice flashlight, just a few too many modes for me. Nice bathtoys as well. Yours, I presume. Thank you for the video

[@livingsurvival]

for sure, I especially love the crayons for writing down ideas.

[@Altema22]

TMI! TMI! Lolz

[@grizzlycountry1030]

How do you not show a flashlight in use outside at night when reviewing it?????????

[@loganyoung2408]

What is the difference between turbo and the highest setting?

[@daveo990]

I am looking for a LED flashlight to carry for self-defense at nightwalking. Do you recommend the Eagletac D25C for this purpose? Any other ideas/recommendations? Thanks in advance.

[@livingsurvival]

A good light for self-defense is one with a bright strobe and strike bezel. The Olight M2R Warrior is a good light. Also check out the new light from Wowtac (the Black Scout Survival version).

[@daveo990]

+Living Survival Hi. Thank you for your reply. Don’t you think that the Eagletac DX30LC2 will do the job as far as blinding an opponent? I am thinking about purchasing one of those. I need something that ia bright enough to cause disorientation and that is rechargeable.

[@daveo990]

Bought the Olight M2r Warrior thanks to you. Hope it delivers the blinding power I need at night!

[@stephenoshea1166]

Pistachio nuts, I just bought an m2r warrior, very pleased with it and very impressive output.

[@zaanea1]

Hi, did you test it under water? I own serveral light among which a Fenix PD20 which was my favorite, good for 2 meter under water operation. Then I bought a D25A because of its nichia, which is so much nicer. But this lights although cclaims to be waterproof, really isn't. During some of my test it failed and became foggy on the inside. It still is my favorite EDC, but I would like a bit more lumens. so the D25C with nichia comes to mind. hope you can tell me something about that. nice collection btw

[@livingsurvival]

i always dunk them for twenty minutes or so, so yes this passed.

[@zaanea1]

+Living Survival Nice to know, my D25A didnt even made it through the heavy rain test. even the second test when I cleaned and lubricanted the seals with care.

[@timbeyer817]

I do not need it for Christmas , but do you know where I can get this light soon ? Going gear and amazon do not seem to have this specif light right now ? amazon doesn't know when they will get it back in stock and if i order it from marshal , it would be on back order . there is also no option on marshal website to sign up for a email when the light comes back into stock. I am looking specifically for the EAGLETAC D25C CLICKY NICHIA 219 D220 (CRI-92) I believe this is exactly the one that is in the above video? when I did a google search to buy this light , I really didn't get much options for purchase, please help. also, there is a 219 D224. do you know how this is different form the D220?

[@livingsurvival]

I don't know the difference. Hope you find one.

[@PHANTOM-qj1wu]

Love the intro!!!!

[@livingsurvival]

thanks!

[@denicede]

Can you use rcr123s in it and what batteries do you use in it

[@Iamjasonallen]

Thanks Ben!

[@jeremiemartinez1114]

holy flashlights batman!!

[@livingsurvival]

lol

[@bluesummers5051]

Can you recommend me some flashlights that are pocketable but are USB rechargeable? Something between 500 to 1000 lumens. Finding some on google is harder than I thought and I figure you've played around with enough to know what's good.

[@livingsurvival]

olight has a bunch of new rechargeables. look at my flashlight playlist.

[@dylancast]

Can't decide between this and the h1 nova

[@livingsurvival]

both!

[@jacobmanalang8162]

both really is the answer. the d25c or d25a is the perfect pocket light, but i like angled lights too. i have a zebralight h52 for my angled head light. not bad for carry at all, clip it to your shirt or something or use it as a headlamp. i feel like if you have both you'll have the ultimate combo.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Froze WTF! LOL great review as always Ben

[@livingsurvival]

now if my view count would just unfreeze.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

LOL people get out of control time to time.

[@danielmende1304]

the intro was funny as hahaha , nice video tho 👍👍👍

[@srvctek1]

Very good review

[@guitartec]

Something tells me this aint no $20. EDC. Now I'm torn... I'm loving the "no features rawness" of the Lumintop and I've sorta invested in rechargeable AAAs. Along comes Eagtac. It's bigger, which is not good for me. It uses a weird battery, which is not good for me. It's got 7 special modes which is not good for me. And it's prolly more expensive which is not good for me (especially since I bought a Pro-Tech Runt and Kalashnikov Mini last week). Guess I gotta go get an EagTac now. Damn!

[@livingsurvival]

they have an aa and aaa version as well but haven't used them personally.

[@guitartec]

I know you need to stay current, but what exactly do you like about the Eagtac over the Lumintop? Flexability, output, size, length of output, battery type??? This will help put it in perspective for me and possibly save me 50 clams. BTW, Gearbest has the Tool in pure copper for $26.

[@guitartec]

They also advertise it with the modes Hi-Med-lo, so maybe they fixed the mode order. Oh, just saw you did the review of it.

[@livingsurvival]

form factor, design, operation. nw led as well.

[@guitartec]

Okay Ben, thx for your input. Took it all under consideration. I now have the Copper Lumintop in my Gearbest cart b/c I need simplicity in my EDC light. Plus, my old eyes can't see easily see my black Lumintop Tool (that's my excuse for getting the copper one). Now I just gotta push that damn GearBest checkout button, but my hand is shaking.

[@jeremiemartinez1114]

you should really consider getting together with the companies you review on .and get paid, if you don't already

[@OIF_ArmyDV]

Eagtac or EagleTac?

[@Altema22]

The official company name is EAGTAC LLC, but, they sell products bearing both names. From their website: "We currently sell flashlights and accessories under brand EAGTAC and EagleTac worldwide"

[@brandrookesalva467]

What is your watch, Casio ? Please give the model no. Thank you.

[@geeme5462]

Hi Living Survival, I'm in Michigan too!! Go Blue!

[@MaZEEZaM]

Yeah, in Australia you can buy them online but your adding shipping charges on top battery cost. avg $3 per battery plus shipping 10 pack costs $35 + SHP

[@giannhsmp4288]

could someone please put the runtimes in the comments?

[@Altema22]

Here you go! EagleTac D25C with CR123A LED Lumens: 300/194/26/1 ANSI FL-1 lumens: 200/129/16/0.5 Runtimes: 0.9/1.6/10/150 Note: The first set of lumens is according to the EagleTac method of measurement. The second set is according to ANSI FL-1 standard of measurement.

Altema22 thanks a lot.

[@KPSDISCIPLESHIP]

[@livingsurvival]

[@KPSDISCIPLESHIP]

Howdy

[@randyyeager]

it's a cool light...set up well...but I don't like the CR123 batteries, and I'm never going to pay $55 for a keychain flashlight, or in my Case, being Canadian $86 on Canadian Amazon.

[@lbsand976]

I unfortunately i have owned 3 different eagtacs for our ranch for years and now everyone of them has had to go back for repair or repalcement, which takes considerable time as the only guy that you deal with has to order either parts or a light from china. iI use either a MX30L4-C(repaired once and then repalced) or MX30L3-C(repalced once) nightly during the long nights of winter and calving months and keep a clicky on the side of the gunsafe in case of power outage. it never gets used and now is draining the battery within 2 months just sitting there.(and yes i click off the charged led).and when i try and use the X2CR123 cap the light stays on and will not turn off. As well, now that i've called in for assistance with this last issue i am getting ghosted by them. so anyone who is looking at an eagtac product BUYER BEWARE
