If you\u2019re reading this, I\u2019ll assume you\u2019re on a similar quest.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good flashlight has always been one of my everyday carry essentials, but there are so many crappy pocket lights on the market that finding a really great one is not easy. We\u2019ve tested out a lot of them in an effort to separate the wheat from the chaff and arrive at the five best EDC flashlights under $20. We do this so that you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the best EDC flashlight for you depends on your needs and preferences. There are countless possible measurements by which one can evaluate a flashlight. For our purposes, we evaluate flashlights based on the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Light output:<\/strong>&nbsp;How bright is the flashlight? Light output is measured in lumens, and typical EDC flashlights range from as little as 20 lumens right up to the glaring 1,000-lumen range. This is an important consideration, but remember that brighter isn\u2019t always better.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Runtime:<\/strong>&nbsp;How long does the flashlight last on each output mode before the battery needs to be replaced or recharged?&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Power source:<\/strong>&nbsp;What type of batteries does the flashlight use? Most EDC flashlights run on AA or AAA batteries, but some are compatible with other types of batteries including rechargeable lithium ion batteries.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Durability:<\/strong>&nbsp;How well does the flashlight take a beating? Consider impact resistance\u2014the height from which a flashlight can be dropped onto concrete and still function\u2014as well as water resistance.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Pocketability:<\/strong>&nbsp;Is the flashlight comfortable to carry? An EDC flashlight should be lightweight and compact enough to carry in one\u2019s pocket without it feeling bulky or uncomfortable.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Without further ado, these are our top picks in the world of affordable EDC flashlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_c879fb-8c >

been a personal favorite of mine for a long time, and you might even say it\u2019s the reason I wanted to make this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of the most simple and effective EDC flashlights I\u2019ve yet encountered. Scroll through my Instagram, and you\u2019ll see that I\u2019ve been carrying one of these things for a long, long time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s what\u2019s great about this flashlight: IT HAS ONE SETTING.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MicroStream runs on a single AAA battery, and it puts out 45 lumens. That\u2019s it! It\u2019s not going to blow most flashlights out of the water with its brightness, but it emits just the right amount of light for me in most situations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get around 2.5 hours of runtime out of each battery. I pretty much always keep extra AAAs around, so the MicroStream serves me well. Just FYI, Streamlight also makes brighter versions of this light that are USB rechargeable\u2014but not for under $20.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measuring 3.6\u201d long and weighing just 1.1 oz, the Streamlight MicroStream is the perfect size for everyday carry. It\u2019s so light you can forget it\u2019s in your pocket until you need it, and the barrel fits very comfortably in an average-sized hand. The tail switch has more resistance than most, and can be partly compressed to use the flashlight in \u2018momentary on\u2019 mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MicroStream is also a tough little flashlight, with anodized aircraft aluminum and a sturdy pocket clip. It has a IPX4 water resistance rating, which is not the most impressive rating, but I\u2019ve personally dropped my MicroStream in at least a couple of lakes, and it keeps on shining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/streamlight-microstream-flashlight-review-we-test-it-out\/\"><strong>Read The Full Streamlight Review

Olight i3T EOS scores points for quality construction, and for the simplicity of its design. It\u2019s a trim, lightweight flashlight that\u2019s perfect for <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/what-are-edc-essentials-the-must-have-list-for-everyday-carry\/\">everyday carry<\/a>. The Olight i3T EOS measures 3.5\u201d and weighs in at just 1.4 oz.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Olight i3T EOS has a slender profile and is made of high quality anodized aluminum that has a soft matte finish. It has a very comfortable grip, with a helix pattern along the barrel of the flashlight that does a good job keeping it secure in your hand. The tail switch had some great grip texture too, and it includes a momentary-on function.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This flashlight produces a soft, balanced beam with two settings: low (5 lumens) and high (180 Lumens). The tail switch (which, I must say, is satisfyingly \u2018clicky\u2019) takes you through the two modes in a low-off-high-off cycle. A single AAA gives you 16 hours of continuous runtime on low, or 21 minutes on high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly that\u2019s not the most impressive runtime on the high setting, but I find that the 5-lumen low mode is actually what I use this flashlight for the most. It\u2019s just the right amount of light for reading in your tent while camping, jotting notes or checking a map at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a

and their EDC AA model is\u2014as you might\u2019ve guessed from the name\u2014a great one for everyday carry. As you might also have guessed from the name, it runs on one AA battery, which gives it a longer runtime than your typical AAA flashlight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consequently, the Lumintop is a little thicker than most of the other flashlights on this list, but at 3.59\u201d and 1.77 oz it\u2019s still a very comfortable carry.<\/strong>&nbsp;The barrel has a great checker-pattern textured grip to the black anodized aluminum. It has five modes: low, medium, high, turbo and strobe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to standard alkaline AA batteries, the Lumintop EDC AA also supports Type 14500 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and NiMH rechargeable batteries. That gives you a lot of options, and the runtime on various settings depends on what type of battery you use. Turbo mode, for example, puts out 180 lumens on a basic AA, or up to 600 lumens on a 14500 battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>All that makes this one of the most versatile EDC flashlights on the market.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m honestly shocked that it costs less than $20. It also comes with a glow-in-the dark silicone diffuser, which fits over the lens and gives the light a nice, soft glow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My only minor complaint about the Lumintop EDC AA is that with so many settings, the process of clicking through all the modes to find the light level you want can be a little clunky. That said, the flashlight does have a memory function, so if you leave it off for more than a few seconds, it will return to the most recently used mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a

G19 flashlight is its simplicity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It has one light mode,<\/strong>&nbsp;which throws a healthy 54 lumens, and it gets 2 hours and 30 minutes of life out of a single AAA battery. It\u2019s also compatible with Coast\u2019s ZX100 Rechargeable Battery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Coast G19 is 4.02\u201d long and weighs 1.5 oz.&nbsp;<strong>It\u2019s a little longer than the flashlights listed above,<\/strong>&nbsp;but still super lightweight, and by no means too big to pocket comfortably. If anything, that small additional length makes it a little easier to handle without it getting lost in one\u2019s palm. It has some very grippy diamond knurling along the barrel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big selling point of the G19 is its inspection beam optic, which casts an exceptionally crisp, clear beam with edge-to-edge brightness. It\u2019s not brighter in the middle and soft at the edges like a normal LED beam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For me, this flashlight isn\u2019t my first choice to take <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/we-test-the-cheapest-ultralight-camping-chair-on-amazon-the-hkuddas-backpacking-chair\/\">camping or backpacking<\/a>, but it\u2019s perfect for use around the house.<\/strong>&nbsp;I keep one in the glovebox of my car, and the perfectly uniform beam makes it great for any job that requires crisp, clear light in the darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Worth noting is that the Coast G19 is the cheapest flashlight on this list by a wide margin.<\/strong>&nbsp;On a good day, you can get one on Amazon for less than $10, which is a pretty unbeatable price for such a well-made flashlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/coast-g19-flashlight-review\/\"><strong>Read The Full Coast G19 Review

Flashlight is Energizer\u2019s foray into EDC flashlights, and it\u2019s a surprisingly successful one. Of all the flashlights I tested for this list, this is the one that caught me the most off-guard with its quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The only strike against this flashlight is its size. At 4.4\u201d long and 0.8\u201d thick, it\u2019s the longest and girthiest flashlight on this list.<\/strong>&nbsp;How comfortable it is to carry depends on the size of your pockets, but you can always clip it to your belt instead. Personally I like a smaller EDC flashlight, but some folks might actually prefer a larger one like this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Energizer makes several flashlights in its tactical LED family. This one (officially known as the Mini-Tac 140) puts out 140 lumens on high. It also has a 20-lumen low setting and strobe mode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With only three modes, clicking through them is relatively easy.<\/strong>&nbsp;I like that the Energizer cycle has high output first in the lineup. A lot of flashlights make you click through the lower modes first to get to high. The beam is soft yet vivid, with a slight yellowish warmth to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Energizer LED Tactical Flashlight gives you pretty good lifespan out of a single AA battery, lasting 5 hours on high or 10 hours on low. It\u2019s made of rugged aircraft grade aluminum with a crosshatch-pattern grip, and has IPX4 water resistance.
