[Help Me] Back on the hunt for an overly specific light for EMS.

Price Range: $50

Purpose: Primary use will be on scene of emergencies. Think car accidents at night or just your regular dimly lit patient's house. Secondary use would be for camping or general around the casa stuff.

Battery Type & Quantity: 18506

Size: preferably just 1 18650

Type: Hand held.

Main Use: Main use would be on scene at emergencies. Something with a holster would be awesome although I'm not opposed to buying one aftermarket.

Switch Type: side switch, tail switch idgaf

Anything Else?: So here's the deal. I am very new to flashlights as the only ones I own are a giant 6cell Maglight and an Olight M2R warrior which kicks some serious ass. I'm looking to get a light for my buddy who is getting into EMS but unfortunately, I don't have the spare cash to get him an M2R (I also work EMS after all) otherwise I would. Magnetic tail, the ability to tail stand and at least 900 lumens would be awesome. He is 18650 naive so something with an integrated charger is a plus. I'm not entirely sure if something like this exists out there but you guys here are my best bet. Not opposed to right angle lights either.

If you can find an extra $5 or wait for a sale, the Armytek Elf C2 is a right angle light that meets all of your criteria.

  • Magnetic tail

  • 980 lumens

  • Comes with an 18650 and integrated charging

  • Tailstands

  • Pocket clip and headband, no holster though

Edit: Damn I can't type. Added a few missing letters.

The Prime C2 USB Warm seems to tick all the boxes.

Do you carry a radio strap? I have an Olight H1R nova on my radio strap, it gives more than enough light whether you’re in a house or on a freeway. It’s a right angle light that I clip just above the mic loop on the strap.

I have the prime C2 pro and it is awesome on scene. Only downside is that it gets warm fast. You can put it on a coffee table and light the entire room. The heavy duty magnet can attach to the side of the engine or on any metal. The magnetic charger armytwk has isn't powerful enough to stay well on metal. Just food for thought.

I know this is old, but what emitter? I'm debating on buying one for a esc light. What's the highest made it can run constant?
