-- Tech Writer EDC has published its annual Best EDC Flashlights list, an in-depth roundup of the most reliable everyday carry lights for real world use. Updated each fall before winter, the list reflects hundreds of hours of hands-on testing by founder and reviewer Blair Witkowski.
Each flashlight is personally carried, charged, and tested under daily conditions. The goal: to find lights that survive pocket duty and weather and work without relying on inflated marketing specs. The 2025 lineup focuses on practicality, usability, and value, spotlighting lights that balance performance with dependability.
“A good EDC flashlight isn’t about lumen bragging rights,” said Witkowski. “It’s about whether it still works when you actually need it. These lights have been dropped, drenched, and used for real jobs—every one of them earned its place.”
This year’s highlights include the Streamlight Microstream, Witkowski’s daily go-to, and the Fenix PD35 v3.0, his preferred compact powerhouse for serious output. The guide also covers keychain backups, AA and 14500 all-rounders, and 18650 models built for demanding users.
In addition to flashlight testing, Tech Writer EDC is also known for its watch reviews, offering practical insights into durable, real-world timepieces for everyday carry enthusiasts. Readers can explore the full list and detailed reviews now at TechWriterEDC.com.
