I bought a couple of packs of these. I'm sure there are brighter torches out there but these do a fine job of lighting the way. 3 AAA each with batteries supplied.
Keep one by the bedside. One in the car and the other as EDC. Pack 2 hasn't been opened yet.
EDC Torch?
Re: EDC Torch?
You're gonna laugh I have an 9 led torch and a Maglite solitaire in my bum bag which goes with me when I go out, but what I am lost without is a little 2 led torch with a laser pointer (a kitten remote control) on a lanyard, it's invaluable for getting around to the toilet at night without waking my wife and gets the cats away from where I don't want them to be at any time of day
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
Re: EDC Torch?
Those little torches are nothing to be laughed at and can be as helpful as a full size jobbie. I recall recently watching the news coverage of the Colorado floods and a military officer was saying that they had used night vision equipment to rescue people who were able to signal using one of those key fob lights.
Re: EDC Torch?
Along with my LED Lenser, I carry a Maglite Solitare (the smallest one) on my keyring, next to the p38 can opener . Although not the greatest torch, it's always in my pocket ready to go. Oh, and I always carry 3 spare batteries for the Lenser. No point carrying a torch without spare batts IMO...

Re: EDC Torch?
Thanks guys. You've been a big help. I have decided to get the LED Lenser Police Tech Focus Torch as my main torch for my EDC kit. It looks amazing and has had great reviews and is £26 now on Amazon instead of £47! I think I may also get a Thrunite Ti as a backup torch. And those keyring torches you suggested Munchh, I will be buying probably half a dozen of them and putting one in my first aid kit, one in my 2nd survival tin, one in my EDC kit, one on my keys and keep a couple as spare.

Re: EDC Torch?
I carry a single cell (an AA) five LED torch....Its best trick though is that by using the little connector wire that came with it I can use it as a backup powerpack for my phone.
I also back it up with a matchbox sized twin LED handcrank.
Neither throws a beam three miles but either will light up a room well enough to walk across, or read newsprint by
