Glad you got it Jeff! Love how you mentioned you liked the form factor of the edc25 and were all sending you our favorites 😂 also don’t forget about the magnet at the base!! Useful for digging under the hood of your car and such.
I have the Nebo slim mini that I bought for $16 at the local hardware a year ago and it's fine for the money in terms of performance. The one significant problem with it is the clip mounting , those are not machine screws. They uses those little pointy coarse threaded screws like you find in toys and are nowhere near adequate here. I've had more Nebo flashlights over the years than I can count, and it's always the same story. Affordable, good performance, but poorly made. Flimsy clips, stripped screws, they don't handle drops / falls very well, you name it they're impressive when new but none of the aluminum body rechargeable models have held up. Thankfully I don't actually carry this one, because it has the magnetic base It lives stuck to my toolbox.
The last light I bought was because of one of your videos showing the olight warrior mini winter edition burning holes in fabric. Lol it’s an awesome light to this day but I’m very careful with it
There needs to be regulations that has stated right on the light's packaging and flashlight body somewhere that the light is capable of that risk. A lot of people just don't know otherwise and these lights aren't getting any less powerful. One fellow learned by leaving a NEBO 12k turned on sitting on his couch. He left the room and came back to discover it burning a hole in the upholstery.
And a strobe. That's why I prefer the similar shaped Klarus E5. It has a white and blue/red strobe. Some people hate strobe but it's useful trying to pinpoint to somebody where you are in a general area, like a massive parking lot or side of the highway. Although the lowest setting is only 23 lumens. I have a Fenix E12 that goes down to 5 lumens and advertises a hefty runtime on that setting. 5 lumens is all you need to just navigate your feet indoors. Anything more is a waste of power. It's always good to have a single cell 1xAA/AAA light outside of the rechargeable lights. You can scrounge a AA or AAA battery somewhere in use during an emergency. Just rob a TV remote you come across. Get a neck lanyard to keep up with it easier.
I have a couple of those and they are really nice and versatile. You can throw it in a pocket and the clip has really good retention so you're not going to lose it very easily not to mention due to it being so lightweight you barely even know that it's there so it is not at all a pain or a hindrance to carry. Not to mention if you're wearing a somewhat thinner shirt or a button-up shirt with a breast pocket you can just clip it onto the front of your shirt or onto your breast pocket and you've got hands-free illumination. And the magnetic base actually does come in handy from time to time. So I would definitely recommend this light to just about anyone.
Been carrying my acebeam terminator m2 lately. It's the real definition of an all in 1 light. Spot and flood with 600meters reach easily. I have the sun in my front pocket!!😅

Love it! I have the Nebo Torchy and it has been my EDC for about 4 years or so. Saved my butt a few times.
Nice new collection of flashlights, Jeff, or should I say, flatlights? 😁
Looks cool. Needs a moonlight mode tho.

check out the Klarus e5. same body, more lumens and 1 more light source.
I have a friend he has a Nebo mini slim that has blue/red flashing setting, not sure what version.

Just bought ($19) the slim mini at sportsman’s warehouse, think I’m going to like this one
@@teekay989 I sure hope so.
Have you seen the Coast Slayer series. I have the red and white light version for hiking, and its awesome.
Very nice.
