My progression 2020-present. What’s next??

(Left to right)

Phase 1 – First hooked on edc in 2020
– Thrunite Ti4 (never use it)
– Olight i3T EOS (still solid)
– Amazon “2000 lumen” zoomie (long gone)

Phase 2 – Time to get “nice” lights
– Fenix E12 V3 (backup edc)
– Fenix E28R V2 (the most $$$ so far)
– Fenix E03R V2 (current edc)

Phase 3 – ~2 months /flashlight deep diving
– Convoy S6 SFT40 6500k, Thyrm LPC
– Convoy T6 SFT40 5000k

Takeaways:
– I mostly use these for edc (night walks, day job @ small factory), camping/outdoors + emergency kit
– Fenix lights are very nicely made!
– Convoy customizability is super fun (and cheap!)

Where should I go next??
– Explore the hype around boutique brand like Emisar and Zebralight? Any others in this realm?
– High CRI, Convoy or otherwise?
– Moar high power edc/tactical?
– Flat lights, laser/red/UV/ambient?

Has to be somewhat pocketable, ideally $150 max (I understand now this is plenty of budget) and useful in some way.

Thanks!
