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.

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

EDIT: decided to go with the stylus pro. I enjoy it quite a bit.
