My First EDC Light
on: May 08, 2016, 12:18:49 AM
I finally got a small light for EDC. I have been surprised a how many times I actually use it every day. I don't know how I got along without it! It's safe to say that it will remain in my EDC gear (at least until it is replaced by another of the fine lights displayed in this forum.

I hope this post will earn a badge!

Nice EDC.  Having a small light is so handy and in all reality not obtrusive to carry.

It always suprises me that people always choose the same keychain flashlights: e.g.Fenix E01, when there are equal or better lights out there...

Olight, Nitcore Tube, etc...  :whistle:

I don't have one, but the E12 has always stuck me as a good EDC light. 
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Some like simple designs that just work and have a great track record.
Personally I can't afford to constantly be upgrading lights.
Availability, shops here don't carry those brands.

I purchased locally so brand selection was limited.  The Fenix E12 has the features I was looking for, it's small enough for pocket carry, has a click switch, and uses a commonly available cell. It felt it fit my needs and didn't break the bank.
