What is the recommended type of flashlight for use with a pistol? Is the answer different for EDC vs at home? How many of you carry a flashlight with your EDC pistol? For now, at least, I'm not looking to do a WML (feel free to sound off if you vehemently disagree with this), mostly because eventually I want to get a Crimson Trace laser and nobody sells both a light and laser setup for the Sig365XL.
I haven't seen much discussion about carrying a flashlight with EDC CCW. How irresponsible is it to NOT carry a flashlight? I'm sure it would help but it's just more gear to carry. If I do carry one, I've been looking at the Fenix PD35 TAC version for EDC but it's starting to get sizable. Penlight size would be even better. Any comments or recommendations?
For at home, absent inside security cameras, I've seen some people suggest to keep the lights off and use a smallish spotlight flashlight with momentary "on" and sweep the rooms. Is this the preferred technique? For sake of this question, let's assume I've decided to NOT shelter in place.
I've seen some flashlights that are 1000+ lumens and will light up just about an entire backyard (I'm commenting on the size of the area moreso than the intensity of the light). Do they have any place in these situations (EDC or home)?
