This one comes highly recommended.Surefire Titan Plus Ultra-Compact Variable-Output LED Flashlight In fact, it is one of my most often used pieces of gear out of everything that I carry. I use this light several times every single day. Surefire must have been paying attention when they dreamed this one up because they hit every single point that most EDC users could ever wish for. Honestly, there is not much to dislike about this light. A wide range of light outputs are offered. Overall, this is an inexpensive, lightweight, small, handy, durable light that’s always there when the user needs it. Like, as long as that color happens to be black. The Sidekick can be had in any color that you My light has been dropped and slammed around enough to convince me that it is not going to break any time soon. This light has proven durable, with a polymer body that seems to take abuse well. It is fairly flush with the body of the light, so it does not stick out, and every now and then, I find myself hunting around for it. One minor gripe is that when used in the dark, as we often tend to use lights, I sometimes have to hunt a bit for the push button. This light does not do that (to be fair, it’s not what it was designed for, and this is not a criticism of the light). On a tactical light, I want a high output of light instantly when I hit the switch, and I prefer it to be fairly focused to reach out. The second click of the switch activates 60 lumens, and the third click is 300 lumens. Hit the button once and you get five lumens. Also, the switch is not set up to be tactical, in that the button to activate the light is a small, square button on the top of the light. What this light is not, is a tactical light. Also, you can program the light to shut itself off after a short period of time automatically should you desire. Or you can push the button through the three outputs, pushing it a fourth time to turn the light off. If you wait a few seconds after activating a setting and push the button again, it turns the light off. If you cycle quickly through the clicks, you increase the lumens with each click. I’d say 300 lumens will light up targets a little beyond 50 yards. You won’t be lighting up targets 200 yards away, but it gives you a nice, wide view. The beam on this model flashlight is not highly focused, but rather throws a flood of light around an area. Need more light? Then 300 lumens it shall be! This setting really illuminates the area. As Goldi Locks would have said, it’s “Just right.” The 60-lumen setting is in the middle not too much, not too little. Also, walking around at night, five lumens is nice for providing just enough light to see the immediate area, while not ruining your night vision. Now five lumens is not a lot of light, but when I use it at night in my bedroom to find something when I don’t want to wake my wife, it is just right to give me enough light to look around, yet not blind the entire area. The light has three different modes of output: 300 lumens with a run time of 1.25 hours 60 lumens with a run time of four hours and finally, five lumens with a run time of 45 hours! This light will keep going for a while on one charge. It’s Rechargeable!Īnd here’s one of my favorite aspects of the light: it is rechargeable using a micro-USB cable that comes included with the light! The very same cable that charges my phone will also charge this light in a wall plug or a vehicle plug! No more having to buy batteries! There is an integral, lithium rechargeable battery inside the light.
