Nitecore MT10C

Get the 4 bay universal charger and 2 rechargeable Batts and you're still under $100 for a true pocket light with multi brightness and strobe.... at 900 lumens

Carried mine over a year and have had zero issues. Go to the Flashlight Outlet in Valpo

9,000 Lumens?
That's not a flashlight, its a flashbang grenade.

I just got a Pelican 1910 75 lumen light. Are these any good? I really like the size and it was free too boot!

For a single AAA battery, 75 lumens is pretty good, especially if it has a long run time.

The size, shape, and quality of the reflector will make a big difference, but Pelican has been doing this a long time.

I recently bought a Fenix PD25. I'm starting to really like it as a task light. I prefer the size of my Streamlight Microstream, but I like how bright the PD25 is for its size.

That's a sweet light! Try a rechargeable battery for it . . . it will make 550 lumens with a 16340 (rechargeable CR123A) vs 400 lumens for the regular CR123A.

Looks pretty nice, and the low mode should make the battery last even longer when you dont need the full brightness.
Takes 8 rounds mags too apparently!

Whatever brand you decide, make sure it has the strobe feature! I have tried a few on myself (ya, I know...not smart) and not only do they disorient you, I even got nauseous! Sometimes it's that slight edge you need when SHF.

Also consider that if you got nauseated, it might be distracting you even if you're using it toward someone else.

I have strobes on my lights, but I don't intend to use them in tense social encounters because I know it will distract me as well.

I'm a big fan of my 1910. It's small enough that I can take it anywhere, and I generally do. Super easy to find replacement batteries. Takes a beating pretty well. Probably not a defensive light, but for every day tasks, I really like it.

Having a strobe is overrated. I don't personally care for the feature. I WILL admit it's fun using it on friends when they don't expect it...

I've been carrying a Surefire E1D Defender for a little less than a year. It's a great flashlight that I use all the time. The build quality is excellent. And after a year there is one small blemish on the bezel. Unless it gets lost or stolen this should be the last light I ever need to buy.
