What type of usages?

Is there any seller in Malaysia who sells Convoy products? Bought from the Aliexpress store, quite pleased with price to performance quality - but waiting 1 month+ for shipping quite sien...

yeah... lots of variables to consider. primarily size, stamina, beam pattern and colour.

the olight i1r eos is pretty much my edc and one that i have on me at any given time. not too concerned about the runtime as it would get me to one of my other lights should the need arise. my trusty u12 follows me on my treks (usually paired a keychain light) whilst my traveling edc would be the olight s1r turbo s.

If like that, then a headlamp would be a better choice so that you may be able to use your hands.
Avoid Cool White torchlights and choose Neutral White for better colour rendition.
Something like the below.

Also with a 18650 battery, you'll also have long runtimes.

IINM, sifu RookieDaddy is the one of the most reliable to get more accurate advise.

Eh? Nitecore tit?

something like this, perhaps?

sorry, i'm not sure.

But Nitecore NWS10, I know la.

Olight headlamp is good but the battery is proprietary.

Are you talking about the H2R's bundled battery?

Just day to day, go to bathroom at night, check for robbers, noise outside, look at engine at night when you hear knocking sound driving home from work, etc

For bathroom at night, choose a torchlight that has moonlight mode. By the time you wake up to go toilet, your eyes are already adjusted to darkness so you don't need high lumens.

I see, any recommendations?

If robbers are a concern , might need high power strobe to stun them. But, run away if you can. U know lah the law here.

Check out what I meant.

Actually, no I'm afraid.
Because it's largely up to you to decide if you want AAA, AA, 14500, 16340 / RCR123, 18650 battery type. And also your budget.

For me, I restrict to using AA (14500) and 16430 batteries which means I'm using my Olight S1A and S1 regularly.

If weight is a concern for day to day, may consider small keychain light like nitecore tip2.
But the battery doesn’t last long.

You guys have been very helpful, thank you thank you

i regularly use my s1r turbo s so yes, the s1 series is a good edc. but if going to the toilet is gonna be its regular usage, i would say the manker u12 would be an excellent choice as the battery indicator glow makes it easy to locate in the dark. it doesn't have to be the u12 but one with a soft glow location indicator will come in very handy in the dark.

and no, strobes no matter how easily accessible, would not be of much use in a surprise attack situation. it would be difficult to disorientate a person who already has a target lock on you, and you're more likely to blind yourself in such a situation than your assailant. it would, if you have it ready and anticipate an attack in the dark. just my two sen.

p.s. more importantly, keep a tab on your budget
