olight mini led torch. Fits in my pocket and especially during winter months it is so useful.

Oh jeez... if you think olight is good, check out sofirn or intl-outdoor.com . There is a whole WORLD of flashlights and olight is the laughing stock, my good sir. Go find the flashlight group on lemmy and you'll never look back.

But I agree with this guy, my 4000 lumen titanium D4V2 is always in my pocket. Way quicker than fumbling with your phone and provides way more usable light too.

I guess so, but for the price, it's a good torch that fits my needs. It also has a magnetic back which I used several times to stick it somewhere and have my hands free.

But this EDC stuff gets expensive and the choices are limitless. Get what you like and what fits you.

It does get expensive... glances at my $500 of flashlights

But if olight works for you, go for it. I've never owned an olight so I cannot offer a proper comparison, but sofirn has a lot of really good option that are usbc rechargeable, have magnetic tail caps, and are easily 1000-4000 lumens. Sofirn also operates on anduril which is an open source ui for flashlights that can be very complex yet has a lot more versatility.
