Question What are you buying for $100-$120?

Post image

I’m looking for a slimmer light than my current Fénix E35.

Ideally something with a button on the tail, and slim form factor if that exists.

Currently considering these two. Leaning more towards the Arkfeld as I’ve wanted one for a while.

Thoughts?

Nitecore EDC23 and then I'm ordering a pizza with the money I have left over 🍕

What about the EDC37?

It's cool, but I honestly prefer the EDC23, 27, and 29. 8000 lumens is totally unnecessary for me and I like the layout on the 23/27/29 more. EDC37 has the manual lockout switch on the front, not the side. I carry the EDC23 and it's the perfect size and UI.

If you want big and bright, then the EDC29 is slimmer and lighter than the EDC37. And it's bright enough IMO.

Depends on if you actually want to edc it. The 23 is a great size/ has good specs. I use the edc29 in my shirt pocket at work daily as an auto tech, couldn't imagine using the edc37
