Coast G-19 !!!!!!! Best EDC light for its purpose.
I don’t like multi mode flashlights. I know I’m in the minority’s here, but I’m just being honest.
I just ordered a Pelican 1920, because my Streamlight Protac 2xAAA just broke into two pieces after 2-3 years of industrial use.
wow! hard to sit through this one, you keep saying the beam all look the same I think that's because you're shining them on a black mat, you may want to try and take them outside. I know you will see a big difference then.
The Thrunite T10 neutral white has been my edc light for the past 3 years. This is after buying many different lights to try, including some of the ones you have here plus some others. It uses AA and works great with NiMH. I won't carry a light if I think the battery is less than about 75% full. I replace and recharge the battery at least once a week or more. Quality batteries (Eneloop) and chargers that can test capacity are essential. I use the light almost every day at work and elsewhere. It doesn't make sense to me to carry a light if you're not sure how much battery life is remaining. Alkaline batteries should be avoided due to their great tendency to leak and corrode/destroy the circuitry. I never use them anymore.
laying black flashlights on a black background probably wasn't the best choice 😉
Turbo only works well on the pd35 if you have a top of the line battery.
Audio is bad. I could watch for more then a few seconds.
At 2:59 you mention the aaa batteries not fitting in the Titan. It looks like there might be a plastic sleeve or something inside the tube. But I could be wrong but on video it looks that way. Maybe try removing it if there is one?
The light I been carrying is the 50 lumen Bushnell pro
Hey my Friend – – GREAT review! l
As I mention in the comments below, I like how you touched on tangibles from the clips, to the rattling & all the way to (poss.) prob's for peep's with dexterity issues.
I also appreciate how you cover the features & you let the description cover the tech.-data. Good job Pally!
nice work ,,, many thanks
The Coast light in this video is the G10 which is meant to be used as an inspection light. The Coast HP2 would make a much better EDC light. Its roughly the same size as the G10 in the video but it is much brighter (32 lumens on the G10 vs 66 lumens on the HP2 or 85 lumens on the newer HP2).
Great video. Please point out the fact that surefire is made is USA!!!! Ill pay little more for anything any day for something made here. Not saying the rest of those lights aren't great.
Hahaha,
You are funny man you know…
A friend of mine suggested for me to see this video and it is quiet entertaining for sure!
Some points have merit and some do not.
But, your messages got transmitted.
Keep up the great review.

Great review, Thank you. Just a suggestion, use a remote microphone. We can't hear you very well and you have good stuff to share!
Thanks again
i have the coast, and am amazed at the power! as i see it.. it is the most worn one in the group, so you carried it a while.
The reason the PD35 doesn't seem 4 times brighter is because of the way we perceive light. We don't perceive it in a linear fashion.
Thanks for the detailed review man! Saved me time and money for sure!
Pierre,
Good point i added the water resistance, as well as maximum run times in the description.
Kinda miss wich of them are water proof. But great Video
Great video, this guy really knows his stuff.
