Post Body

Despite being certain I never "needed" a light in my EDC, I had to change a tire in the pitch black, cold morning air on the side of the interstate today. I won't be doing that again in the dark. My phone light got me by, but it wasn't ideal to use in that situation. So, what should I be looking for in a light? I have personal preferences, but am open to guidance.

I'd like: thin, pocket clip, back end switch, rechargeable (would be nice), and cheap.

EDIT: Looking at Streamlight 66318 MicroStream C4 LED Pen Flashlight and Streamlight 66118 Stylus Pro Black LED Pen Flashlight with Nylon Holster and ThruNite T10
