Best edc light for the price - Streamlight PT Professional Tactical 1L LED Flashlight

I researched for weeks on the right EDC light comparing numerous brands, including the overly pricey Surefire, and arrived at Streamlight for a number of reasons. First - Quality: Streamlight has a long history of great, purpose but lights in a variety of sizes, brightness, and battery life. This range surpasses Surefire in a broad, yet general, range. For the sake of general comparisons, Surefire is the way to go for tactical and military applications. It's just proven. For everything else, particularly EDC, I'll opt out for anything reliable, aluminum, bright, strong, and in a competitive price range. Second - Cost: it's no comparison, really, that Streamlight is less costly and equally useful when comparing EDC lights and a variety of other lighting systems. Third - Battery life: after careful reviews, this is one of the few lights out there that fulfill EDC purpose, longevity (22 hours on low setting), AND has the strobe feature all in a tiny, aluminum body.
