Best Everyday Carry Flashlight 2020 

I really love that you always show pictures and the name of the light currently in use during beamshots. It's something I always miss whenever I watch other beamshot videos, especially when I've watched it before and just want to skip through to find a particular light, I can do that with your videos very easily. Thank you for going the extra mile, it's appreciated!

Your personality is fun and it comes through on the screen. Good job, I enjoy and look forward to more videos.

Underrated Flashaholic RU-vidr.

I can’t believe how much he likes flashlights. What a champ

You're cool as hell man. Love watching your videos.

Great review with meaningful pictures.Especially naming and showing the lights during the beamshot is a big gain, well done .👍

Dear kind sir, in the room you record your videos, place a sign on the corner of the room where you would point to for the “click the link in top corner” and you’ll never miss your mark again!!! Thanks so much for shedding light on all things flashlights! You rock!

Congrats matt on your award lol

I really appreciate your channel. You are a true light aficionado rather than a brand aficionado like many channels. They are good because they do showcase the best lights within the brands they like. But the lights you praise are true performers. You educate me one so many brands that I didn’t know existed. Lights with performance that brands like Olight can’t touch.

Your best intro ever. Great video Matt

You always put a smile on my Dial,,, like to see you judge a bikini contest with that passionate enthusiasm lol gold!

LM10 looks amazing with that finish.

Love my GT Mini Pro, bought it because of the review did a while back. Great little thrower

lmao. that pose while facing the mirror 'going to town EDC' lololol

Love that bit in the beginning! That headlamp looks sweet.

Omg!!😱 ...just used the discount code to buy the FW21Pro. Already received my GT MINI PRO just a few days ago AND a ASTROLUX FT03S a week before that..😬 Wifey is going to 💩!

For plain simple and functionality , I carry the mini maglite with the keychain . Where I live it's perfect as long enough to use the light to find which key and open the locks.

Really a peaceful bit of property Scott. Nice evening sky

Wow fantastic light! I’m a huge FW3A fan so I’m sure I will totally love these as well! Love your videos they are always fun and educational on the flashlight topics!

damn lumen pusher! :) So where is the local Lumins Anonymous meeting at?

Waking up on a Saturday to an upload from you makes my whole weekend!

I've been hooked on your videos. Very entertaining and you've got a very inviting personality!!

You go to this guy's house in the middle of the night, you'll end up leaving blind!

some impressive flashlights. my daily driver is sofirn SD05 simply because its waterproof down to 100m (using it for diving) and since we are alot of people living by the ocean we have ordered around 30 of them so far. about 28 dollar, 2500lumen, waterproof, 21700 battery and lanyard.

Those mosfets on the cap switch were very nicely done

Great video very nice review video. I really like how you walked around in the house with the flashlights. that was very informative ,and the best way I've seen an example of real world use, effectively done. Kudos

You should make video of longest lasting best performance flashlights, with notation on batteries replaceable and rechargeable. Thanks for the info and humor! Can’t laugh enough today!

i needed this adorableness rn. thanks

The Happy FACE at 2:38

That's a super great video Matt cool so cool 👍😎

your great grandpa called and wants his tie back. Great content ! Much love from Vancouver

Still waiting for you to make a portable sun so bright it turns night into day

Woooohoooo 10k lumens in tini flashlight-Perfect!) Matt -you are Maniac ))))

Lm10 and fw12 pro And fw21 pro are dam nice!

Hello Matt, thanks. The Oscar was fantastic. Still miss your friend who wears head light on bright day! Have a nice weekend n stay safe. 73s

That GT mini Pro is looking very tempting.

I'm a function-over-form guy, but dang that LM10 looks good enough to eat. Too bad it's titanium with tritiums and as such far outside my range. I'm thinking of picking up that HL3A though. Lumintop hasn't done me dirty yet and I could use a floody headlamp, the one I have is a halfway decent cheapo with a pencil-thin and slightly purplish beam. No, I didn't pick it, it was a Secret Santa gift.

Best intro ever! Thanks sir. Plus a very helpfull video

Good video. Unfortunately, every time I see one of your videos I buy a light!

So we're just gonna ignore Matt's huge house and playground? Love the content, keep it coming

Going to review any fenix flashlight anytime soon?

_Would really love to see a throw vid of when ya tried the GT Mini Pro with a Smooth reflector. Great vid as always._

Best flashlight channel on youtube!

Thanks Matt, fun, silly, informative, useful review as usual.

It’s pretty much, “Matt says buy this flashlight” and I do.

For EDC I'm a big fan of the S2R Baton II, really is the perfect size for me, and 18650's are my batteries of choice.

Love your content bro! Love your excitement.

"All the cool white deliciousness" HAHAHAHA! I want one, but not for that price. I'll just stick with my Streamlight MicroStream.

2:38 :D That's a happy clip! Love these videos.

Just curious where you got your tritium sticks for the LM10

The thing on the thumbnail made me think it was a military grade pepper mill. My brain: “Who TF came up with a military grade pepper mill?”

That LM10 is sweet

Ammmezzing! 😱😮😱

Matt, LED is so passé. More COB based lights. Those are the future.

The Imalent DM 70 I believe has the best bang for the buck. I ran it on high for 15 min with no step- down. Haven't tried that on turbo yet. Thanks for the review.

Your videos are getting better and better, keep up the good work

Excellent video, and the acting is uhm...ok! (look up "OK" in aircraft carrier landing parlance).

The mini pro is very nice and your video is excellent 👍😎

I like that HL3s colour temperature. They don't make many Warm White Flashlights.

Thanks for showing the beamshots. 🤘. Think they'll put the xhp50. 2 in the GT micro?

I was going to buy from your store. I want 26650’s of course . Then I realized I don’t have a way to charge them. Is it built into one of the lights,usb style. What charger do you recommend. Do a video, I didn’t see one on your site.

Just received the GT Mini Pro from Neals Gadgets (also have the original Mini) and in ONLY 2 WEEKS! Not a whole damn month like it takes Banggood. Love my new Mini Pro. Really lights things up nicely. Lux like the LM10 and FW21Pro is going to be my next purchase from NG.

Ordered one from Nealsgadgets, with tritium optics and turboglow gasket, this thing gonna be a shelf queen once im done rigging it with trits i believe there is 9 slots there in total. Incredible EDC not to mention powerful af.

I like the TN50(Cool White, CW) for this Fits in my jacket pocket Easy to carry and extremely powerful

You are lucky to still have whippoorwills in your area. That's the more melodic type too.

the LM10 seems a bit overpriced (ignoring that it's an anniversary edition) considering that the D4V2 ti exists.

In this household there are awkward moments when you wake up to go pee and pass your significant other on the way to the bathroom as he is recording a headlight test.

What a great video! thank you. i ordered the copper with the luminus ss20t lm10. Cant wait for it to come in. i also got the turbo glow gasket. I am thinking about getting tritium vials too! I cant wait to film this light too! Great work you do!

I feel bad for the guy who decides to break into your house. He’s gonna be blind for at least 5 minutes

Thanks for the video Matt, it's been awhile!!

HELP!!!..I've just gone down a rabbit hole on you tube. I ride an EUC and the light on the front is very adequate...or so I thought until I watched a EUC video where the guys had torches so bright they lit up the forest 🔦...now I'm looking for a "small" powerful bright torch to kick arse like theirs 🤣. Don't really need one...just want one🙈...soooo confused now. The one you show (100000) lumens sounds great but you say it drops because of heat???....didn't think of that. I know there is no answer to "what is the best one" (we get asked that ALL the time about the wheels)but what do you recommend for BRIGHT and use for a constant hr or so . Cheers

Excellent review as always! I do wonder what your neighbors think though.

I am picking out a flashlight for my mom who walks her dog at night near a wildlife preserve, lots of animals and poisonous snakes & frogs around. I started doing research on flashlights and came across your video on "testing the best rated flashlights on amazon". It is a great video, thanks!! I found the most useful info was your chart showing claims of Lumens verses actual Lumens . Some claimed high numbers and the actual was half that or less. I also liked in this video here where you showed that some lights hit the mark (claims) for only a brief few seconds or so and then start to decline in brightness I think you said to keep the bulb from blowing or the base of the flashlight from getting to hot? I also looked up the 14500 batteries and it seems amazon doesn't sell them at all. Amazon keeps trying to get me to buy AA batteries? So I googled the same battery you have in your the video, (the windyfire 14500) and long story short is, seems to be hard to get that battery, some sites discontinued the 14500 and I read a little about how these batteries might over heat, catch on fire, over charging, stay out of the heat and so forth, imaging my 70 + mom going out to walk the dog and the flash light blowing up in her hand or maybe catching on fire in the house while charging? All that is probably blowing things out of proportion, no pun intended lol. So I am wondering if there is a flashlight that is pretty small that does (not claims) put out around 600 + lumens consistently (not for a few seconds or minutes) with regular batteries that are protected like AA or AAA or is that not possible? After watching your videos I am realizing there is a lot more to this than I was aware of and I could probably keep researching this stuff for weeks or months and thought maybe since you seemed to have done that already you could point me in the right direction or just recommend a couple for me? I want a flashlight for myself too so don't let the 70+ mom comment effect your recommendations, please. Thanks!!!

Is it nice to wake up without having a bad hair day?

Loving your “Good Lux” farewell :)

My fw21 pro arrive with only 2 of the 3 leds working. Any thoughts on how to fix that? Thanks

Great matt..

lol , this guy always make my day...great video

Is it Chinese?

Hello magnificent Matt 😎💖💰🖐️

lmao that intro.

Those are toys . Why would you need 3 leds in a headlamp? To drain battery faster?

*Matt. If you are ever feeling down; read Job. AGAIN.* ☺ *Cheers.*

Would love it if you could review my favorite flashlight, the nebo redline X

You always put out a very informative video with what appears to be a true non biased opion which I like. I do have a question for you however. I am a home inspector of ten years now and I am on the hunt for a high quality everyday carry flashlight. I pull my light out of the front pouch of my pants min of 50 times during a inspection and I do 3 inspections a day. I like something that I can focus the beam for looking at far walls of crawlspaces or attics. I currently for the last three years have used the LED Lanser T7 which has sufficed however I fund if I drop it once the button in the back stops working properly. If a rechargeable flashlight would work or a battery pack kind in case I use it up mid day. Anyhow you understand what I'm looking for and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am lost with how many and how detailed all this flashlight world has to offer. Thank you so much for your time in this. Christopher

👍

My FW3a lasted for a week. Went back to my Astrolux S43S until now.

Hey hopper, I like to think your love for flashlights came from a summer night when we bought some mag lights from Walmart to go catch crayfish at the creek, and you were not satisfied with the light it put off!!?

Matt, the 1 and 2 d cell tube extensions, inwas wondering if you could get those a little differently, i would like one of the following if possible. I would like the single cell tube extender to function like a cap, not for giving additional battery space, but as a small storage compartment. Basically, it would have a false bottom that acts as the tail cap of the light, then the battery space would be storage space. This could be done with the 2 cell extender as well, either having space for one additional cell and then storage space, or just the entire thing being storage space. Probably seems weird, but i thought it would be a neat idea.

Very funny mirror scenes. Is the LM10 functionally the same as the FW3A?

I've noticed on a few lights cell temp effects turn on output. Ball ache when you're trying to get a figure.

Im going down a youtube rabbit hole of flashlights. Im just curious how often and what situations are you in where you use your torch so often? Theres obviously a community around it which is cool, the only situation I can think of is cops/ janitors & security? Loving your vids btw

good vid man i really like your reviews, Could you showcase the D4SV2?

Fw21pro is crazy, wonder if it can smoke cardboard if placed in sheer proximity of head

Honestly I still like my RCR123-based lights for EDC, and single 18650 ones for when I need a little more. I've tried the 21mm cells and they are just too bulky for me.

Awwwwwwwsome Video. Thanks Brother!

I have one torch I don’t know where it is or if it even works.

Honestly, I still like my Zebralight SC62w better than the Lumintop FW3A as the ultimate edc light, but it was a premium light at $69 + shipping. Also a budget edc light should be cheaper than 45€/$45 w.o battery. The quality isn't just there with the FW3A's and they get hot 3-4x faster than the SC62w. Avoid crappy budget lights and do urself a favour.

In fact, those 10 second ratings are ridiculous. The ratings should be longest continuous level with with burst mode as a feature. Terrible color temp on the headlamp, and does you forehead heat up?

Do you have updates on the Astrolux MF05 or will you be doing a review on it?
