I think I will try it out, but it feels weird adding another device to my daily loadout. I mean, it does one thing. Its like carrying around a wrist watch . I guess I'm weary of it feeling cumbersome. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I think Gareth just posted what I would. Although Angry Birds is not on my current time wasting app list!

EDC for a light is like having a truck for daily driver. Need it? Not really. Just for hauling the boat or parts or ladder etc once in a while. Wanna swing by the yard for dry-wall on the way home? Can do! Handy! The REAL value comes though when everyone else needs you and your truck.
Preon 1, Vic Executive, Fenix E01/E05, ITP A3, Thrunite T10, Fauxton, Photon Freedom MicroQuite an intimidating list of flashlights for someone who knows nothing about them =\. Any other recommendations?
For a first torch, here's an easy list of choices ...Fenix E01 - AAA battery - Not super bright, but long runtimeFenix E05 - AAA battery - brighter, but battery life is lessThrunite T10 - AA Battery - has different brightness levels(all those are twisties - twist the bezel at the shiny end to turn on/off)Fauxton - Coin cell batteries - ultra basic keyring light (ok as back up IMO)Any of these four would be better than relying on your phone, and none will break the bank - there are obviously a huge amount of other options, but it'll just make your brain hurt looking at them all and until you've tried a light or two you'll have nothing to compare it to so the stats won't mean anything. If you prefer a clicky light rather than a twistie, you're generally looking at a slightly bigger light. After a few weeks of using a little light, you'll have a better idea of what you'd prefer next (more/less lumens, twistie/clicky, clip/no clip etc)
