If you are looking for a perfect EDC light that is still pretty powerful, you have two winners in the Fenix RC09 and the Fenix PD25. The advantage here will probably go to the RC09 since it is rechargeable and therefore you don't have to purchase an external charger for the battery. With its unique magnetic charging capabilities, the RC09 certainly makes this very user friendly and easy to operate.
