A tactical flashlight can be an important tool in your everyday carry toolbox, but doing a quick Google search for the best tactical flashlights won’t do you much good if you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for in the first place.

Depending on what you do for a living or what you require from your gear, flashlights that are too small may not be bright enough if you work in security, law enforcement, or in consistently dark environments, and won’t help much in the way of self defense. In contrast, tactical flashlights on the larger side won’t be as EDC-friendly as their smaller counterparts and will be much more difficult to carry in your pocket.

The best tactical flashlight not only sheds plenty of light on a dark situation, but it also provides plenty of functionality, is built like a tank, and can provide a valuable means of self defense in a situation that surely requires it. Whatever your candlepower requirements, and no matter your budget, i’m sure you’ll find a suitable tactical flashlight on this list that not only meets your EDC needs, but also your tactical objectives.

Similar to everyday carry knives, the best tactical flashlight is the one that suits you and your needs best. What may be the best tactical flashlight for me may not necessarily be the best tactical flashlight for you. For instance, someone on the hunt for an EDC flashlight may prefer a more compact, pocket-friendly model, while a police officer or firefighter may require a much larger, often rechargeable tactical flashlight capable of producing more candlepower and that provides much more functionality such as different brightness settings and a strobe mode. People require different things from the tools they carry.

At A.I.M. Spec, we carry arguably two of the best and affordable brands in the market - NITECORE and LED LENSER.
