Olight M1T Raider

While there are lots of flashlights on the market, a lot don't have what I am looking for in a good EDC (Every Day Carry) flashlight.  The criteria for me is being easy to operate, not overly complex, and the ability to switch between a low setting and a high setting.

The Olight M1T Raider Flashlight does a pretty good job with the above criteria.  For starters, it is small and light, weighing about 2.5 ounces.  The light also has 2 settings, 5 lumens for all of the small every day tasks and 500 lumens for when you need a lot of light.  When I say lot of light, think searching for something at some distance, or with respect to EDC, perhaps identifying if someone is a threat.

While the switch technology built into the light leave something to be desired for me, it does have the makings of a pretty solid flashlight.  And due to the weight and size, it will treat you equally well in the backcountry on backpacking trips.
