Everyday Carry. What essentials do you carry on a daily basis?

Zebralight has a clip.

Yeah, a headlamp would be better, but the clip is sufficient for clipping onto a cap or something. It'd probably be a bit difficult to aim but I can imagine it working. Its honestly small enough that I hold mine with my mouth if I'm doing things. Dunno how sanitary this practice is, lol, but lips make it easier to aim and point.

Then again: the clip is backwards? I guess you'd have to put it into the side of your cap pointing forwards. Hmmmm... I'll have to play with it (I usually don't use a cap. Again, I just use my mouth, lol).

That is: a small AA-sized flashlight, with the right design, can serve the needs of a headlamp (clipping to a cap and/or holding with your mouth/lips), pocket light, and more. I think the 1x AA-sized are the right size for EDC, though some people argue that AAA-sized (one size smaller) is even better. But the smaller you go, the less light you get.

300 Lumens (albeit for only a short time), maybe 200 Lumens under longer-term use, is a good place to be for AA-sized flashlights. It obviously can't compete with 18650 flashlights, but the smaller size allows for more uses in practice. On the other hand, AAA-sized loses even more Lumens and 300 is already on the lower side for practical usage.
