Surefire Everyday Carry Light 2 Zwart 5-1200 Lumen Tactische EDC Zaklamp

Finally got this light and the brightness is incredible for something this compact—that 1200 lumens really cuts through the dark. I tested the high-output LED on a trail walk and it lit up the whole path without blinding me.

The dual-stage tail switch lets me dial in exactly the right brightness for looking under the couch or lighting up the whole yard. Fits perfectly in my front pocket without that heavy, bulky feeling I was worried about.

The high-output LED is honestly blinding on the top setting, which is exactly what I wanted for late-night walks. It’s compact enough to slip into a jeans pocket but still feels solid in my hand, and the 5-lumen low mode is perfect for reading without waking anyone up.
