Reddit mentions of OLIGHT EDC Best LED Flashlight S2 Cree XM-L2 950 Lumens EDC LED Torch with Variable-Output Side-Switch for Outdoor Spring Outing Camping Hiking, Black

I know this will get buried but I have decided to revamp my whole EDC.

/u/ieatedjesus I have taken the plunge on the Wallet you have recomended. I hate when a product has no reviews or I can't do research about it but whatever. I'm also super stingy with money so this is a huge deal for me lol ($42 with engraving)

As for the pen, I have decided to get a Fisher Space Pen $15. I have 3. Now I will have 4. (also bought a clip $5) ((also bought fieldnotes $10 for the wallet))

/u/odomandr I have decided to go with that knife $16. Nothing sexier than a good stone wash and minimalist design. I also need a knife. No idea about the quality but today I have decided to trust a total stranger on /r/EDC

/u/Ryl4nd99 Thank you for the great idea of a post! I hope to post again when everything comes in. I decided to add/replace my edc with the items above. I also carry a muthafuckin Casio as well as an Olight s2 Baton along with dollar store chapstick. Hopefully I can keep you updated or make a new post when all my goodies come in!

Sorry for the wall of text. Thank you for reading.

Olight S2.

Wisconsin law seems to define concealed weapons to include guns, electric weapons, or billy clubs (batons are these). If they are concealed, you need a license to carry.

http://www.my-self-defense.com/wisconsin-expandable-baton-laws.html

Minnesota prohibits the unlawful use of dangerous weapons. Guns are automatically considered dangerous weapons. Collapsible batons fall under the category of billy clubs, blackjacks, or bludgeons, so they may be considered dangerous weapons.

Frankly, I don't think a baton is all that practical. I recommend using this flashlight. It has a strobe setting and puts out 950 lumens. That bright of a light in strobe mode will disorient any attacker long enough for you to escape.

The Olight S2 has a side switch, and I know many people enjoy their products. I don't have any experience with Olight, but take a look at the Amazon link, and the product page on their website, and see what you think.

For a battery, I'm not sure if Olight has low voltage protection on their flashlights (and hopefully someone else can chime in on this), so if it does, Sanyo NCR18650GA batteries are on sale at IMR. If not, a protected cell will be a good idea.

For a charger, the Thrunite C2 is pretty good, with the ability to act as a powerbank and a charger, and it also comes with its own protected cell. If you don't feel any need to have more than one 18650, just get this, and you get the charger and the cell for $16.

EDIT: Oh, shoot, I totally forgot about the Emisar D4. It's not currently in stock on MTN Electronics, but it's a good light. Take a read-through on ToyKeeper's review that u/Ratus_ posted.

Oh you delicious man.

Btw, thank you for maintaining that site. I use it uh... a little more than is probably healthy.

Some basic first aid stuff I carry is pictured too, foldable mini splint, first aid kit, pocket resuscitator, and a RATS tourniquet. I HATE the RATS, pretty garbage but my old tourniquet has somehow disappeared… plan on replacing it when I have the money. Also, I fucking love local beer!

I have EDC'd an Olight S2 Baton for about 6 months now. I think it would fit your needs well.

It is right at £40, but I think it is well worth it. Extremely bright, very tiny and rugged, great user interface.

Also, 18650 is definitely the way to go. So much better than AA. Slightly bigger, but waaaay brighter and longer lasting. Get some of these and a nice charger. Make sure the batteries say Made in Japan when you receive them.

Are you opposed to rechargeable batteries? Something that uses an 18650 will be a lot brighter and give you better battery life.

Here are a couple of options, option one is brighter and has a little tighter hot spot. You also get a choice of what color temp you want. It will take 2 weeks to a month to arrive. Option two isn't quite as bright but it's still a nice light, it's big benefits are that it has a magnetic tail cap which can be nice, and the clip faces the other way so if you wear a hat you can use it like a headlamp. You'll have it in a week or less.

I really like my Maglight XL-50, it's a great light for 30$. People here don't like it too much as it is AAA and apparently the driver or led isn't top notch, but I have had this for four years now and still love it. The Olight S2 is generally considered a much better light, and seriously you would want to invest in one that uses 18650s instead of AA or AAA as they aren't even expensive and have lots of benefits.

Additionally there's the Olight S2 which is a better choice than the S15 although a little more expensive. This uses an 18650 battery for maximum runtime (4 times the runtime of the S15). Also this has a redesigned button to prevent accidental activation which the button is flush with the blue ring around it. These 'S' series can tail stand and have a magnetic tailcap. This one doesn't have a charging stand so here's a bundle pack. You won't find a cheaper option anywhere else and this is definitely worth the money.

Olight S2 Baton ($50, really nice broad hotspot with tir optic, 3 hours of runtime at 650 lumens, 4 hours at 400 lm) I'm unsure if it has mode memory, but turbo is a double click from off and moonlight is hold the button from off.

Im looking around $30-$40 USD but I can spend more if the torch is worth it, so that $30 A1s is in a pretty good spot if I end up trusting ebay. And yeah I forgot to include im from Australia, sorry.

Is there any other torches you recommend that ship here? After a quick search this is the only high powered 18650 torch that wasnt crazy expensive. It is a lot more expensive ($67 with the battery) but it seems like a really good torch, do you think its worth it?
