Okay, lots of questions there. It seems like you’re asking for one light that will do what most of us would have three for. As a general concept, any light you have will be balancing size versus power. The main issue there is heat dissipation. You can get tiny, absurdly powerful pocket lights (4000+ lumen Emisar D4 is a great example) but they can sustain that brightness level for about 15 seconds before they start thermally throttling down, and you can literally start fires with them. Any single-18650 light is going to be able to dissipate enough heat to put out a maximum of about 700 lumens continuously, and maybe as much as 1000. Turbo has its place, but for any kind of extended run you aren’t going to need (or maybe even want) something that bright. I rotate through a handful of edc lights (BLF-A6, Fireflies E07, which is just as much a stupid hot rod as the D4, and the Emisar D4s, which is actually practical enough to be a recommendation.) All of these are set to come on at a ~200 lumen level out of the pocket, and I rarely need more.

The Eagtac lights you linked to are probably great, but I don’t have any personal experience with them. For your EDC you’d probably be fine getting the smallest single 18650 option there.

Answering your question about sacrificing lumens for throw, yes, basically, but it depends on the application for the light. Most of the edc lights you’ll see around here tend to have a balance of flood and throw, trending to the flood side. The three I cycle through are balance on the flood side, pure flood, and balance on the throw side respectively. For day to day edc stuff, I don’t generally find myself needing much throw at all.

Your statement about occasional use looking for dogs by the lake sounds to me like a use case for a completely different light. There’s no sense in buying something to fit that use case that won’t work as well in your EDC that’s 99% of your use. You would want either a thrower or something with a balance of throw and flood. The standard recommendation there is a BLF Q8, which is a four-18660 “soda can” format light, and just blasts a whole crapload of light a long way. The Emisar D4s is a single-26650 light that’s just barely too big to pocket carry (I use a holster) but it has a nearly identical beam profile, and is hard to go wrong with. Between them in size, and since you really like USB-C, my actual recommendation is a Sofirn SP36. It’s somewhat new to the market, but it was designed by the BLF folks, gets good reviews, and Sofirn is a good manufacturer. It’s basically a three-cell version of the BLF Q8 (which they also manufacture.)

If that still seems like too much flood, and dangit you want a lightsaber, get a Thrunite Catapult V6. It has onboard charging, but it’s micro-USB. You won’t EDC it, but it will fit in a jacket pocket, and throws an unbelievable distance.

I’ll leave you with a final recommendation, though it actually fits in the first category. Assuming you’re okay with a micro-USB charger, the new Thrunite TC15 is a super-powerful single-18650 light that has a deep carry pocket clip, and I think would make a kickass edc for you. It’s accidental that my three suggestions for you just barely squeaked in under your $200 budget, but if you were to order the three I linked to you would have a hell of a lot more useful collection than many.

My personal suggestion:

  • Zebralight SC64c LE: $80
  • 2x Sanyo NCR18650GA: $11
  • Xtar VC2S or VC2 Plus: $15 or $10

    Total: $125ish with shipping
    The flashlight itself is very compact, has a versatile and customizable UI with shortcuts to low, medium, and high, and lots of other great features like temperature regulation and low voltage protection. It also uses a great high CRI LED. If you're not familiar with the term, it makes things look like they actually look in terms of color, as oppoed to a low CRI LED light which washes out a lot of color. On top of all of that, it just has great build quality. Zebralight really knows how to design a great flashlight.
    The Sanyo GA cells are the highest capacity 18650 cells on the market, and they can put out a fair bit of current too. They're the best option for this flashlight. You'll only need one, but having two is much more convenient.
    The chargers are both great. Anything by Xtar will be. These specific chargers are very similar. Both take USB power, both can charge either li-ion or NiMH cells, both can function as a power bank, and both have adjustable charge current (you'll want to charge at 1A (1000mA) or less). The differences are that the VC2S can charge faster (one cell at 2A), and takes a standard micro USB cable rather than a semi-proprietary barrel plug USB cable.

    Other options:

  • ThruNite TC15: $50. This is actually brighter than the SC64c LE, at a fraction of the price. You're losing some of the compactness, the high CRI, and all of the fancy UI. That might be what you want though. Zebralight's UI is fast to get used to and really nice to use (especially if you set one of the mode groups up differently), but it can be a bit intimidating. The TC15's UI has shortcuts as well, and is a bit easier to pick up. The TC15 also comes with an 18650 cell (though not as high capacity, it's higher drain, which is necessary) and it has built-in micro USB charging. It's a complete package.
  • Lumintop FW3A: $40 (with the coupon code mentioned on the page), depending on the emitter choice. It also comes in purple, blue, olive, and shiny. This flashlight is the result of a couple years of work between a couple big flashlight forums, a Chinese manufacturer, and a group of passionate flashlight enthusiasts. It's designed for flashlight enthusiasts, for flashlight enthusiasts. It has a very pleasant ramping UI (you can choose whatever brightness you want) that also has lots of other features. Oh yeah, and it can burn/melt stuff, so that's neat. You'll want a higher drain cell than the GA for this, but the same chargers will still work fine. The main drawback to the lower price tag compared to the Zebralight is the worse QC. It's not entirely uncommon to get one of these that has problems with it, though virtually all of these problems can be fixed with two hands, a pair of tweezers, and five minutes or less of your time. Because of the tailswitch, it's also not uncommon for them to get switched on while in your pocket. I've noticed this more when I'm wearing jeans.
  • Xtar MC1: $4. This is a charger. It's possibly the most bare-bones li-ion charger that's any good. This thing will charge your 18650 (and smaller) cells without any problems, but that's all it does. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

It’s $10 cheaper on amazon.

Thrunite is a good brand to start with, and among their more powerful compact handhelds is the TC15. It shoots out something in the range of 2000 lumens on turbo, and should be able to sustain 500 or more for a while. It takes any 18650 but comes with a pretty good Thrunite branded one. If you're looking for something compact with good runtime and enough throw this is what I would suggest. It won't get you quite as far as a dedicated thrower like a C8 but those tend to be a little more difficult to use up close.

Yep, link to ThruNite TC15 for $37: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JLKWQBR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2C6PNVCN407SP&psc=1

​

FYI, it's actually a Lightning Deal for the TC15, so this price will only be available for 3-4 hours, I believe. The Lightning Deal price is $40, but a $3 Off coupon shows up on both black models (Cool White and Neutral White) on the page for me. Actually, it may also be available as a Black Friday deal, but it's currently showing it as being a Lightning Deal with a little over 3 hours left.

​

Would you say that $37 is a good/great/fantastic price for this TC15 flashlight?

I don't think anything in the $50 range has customization like that. I think general users are benefited from things like USB charging, there are several Wowtac and Thrunite lights that fit the bill here. The TC15 is probably what I would get, they even have on in FDE. Which I might get.....
