What's a good compact flashlight with high lumen output?
I'm looking for a small EDC light that I can carry on my belt or in my pocket. Doesn't need to have a super far beam length, but it does need to be bright enough to light up the area around me and scare away badies. I don't absolutely need any extra modes like strobe, moonlight, or red/blue light. I really just want an easy to use, one handed light, with at a high setting.
I tried out a Sofirn SC33 "5200 Lumens" which was definitely bright enough for my needs, but too big to comfortably carry on my person. I also tried the ThruNite Ti Pro "1012 Lumens" which was a great size and good enough brightness, but I hated the twist activation and it was really inconsistent on brightness levels.
Here are my preferred requirements:
- Length less than 4"
- Diameter the same or smaller than POM Pepper Spray (7/8")
- Physical button (not twist activated)
- Max output higher than 600 lumens (the higher the better)
- Has a belt/pocket clip (I don't need a keyring)
- Ideally, less than $30 (trying not to break the bank before the holidays)
I've scoured this sub, YouTube, and Amazon but didn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!
