Illuminating: 8 EDC Flashlights

Flashlights For Everyday Carry

Regardless if you’ve dropped your phone in a darkened movie theater or are trying to find a way out of an unlit alleyway in the dead of night, a flashlight of any size will be a welcome tool to employ. Situations like this and others are why compact flashlights should be a part of everyone’s EDC kit.
