TL;DR: recommend basically a Lumintop Tool AA with a deep carry clip, warm and/or High CRI.

Those who know me from reddit know I love my Zebralight SC62w…which I lost and immediately replaced with an SC64c LE. (I haven’t been very active on /r/flashlight for a few years because I started spending too much money on lights)

I still love my SC64c and my Byrd Harrier 2 (basically a Spyderco Endela, halfway between the Endura and Delica), but a recent vacation took me to a knife shop and I fell in love with a Kershaw Leek in the blackwash finish. Even though it’s about the same length/weight as my current knife, I immediately bought it as a sleek, sexy, “gentleman carry” knife, along with a black Lynch deep pocket clip. It basically just disappears with black dress pants compared to the thicker silver clip on my knife.

Anyway, it got me thinking about my dress up, go to a wedding/funeral/church carry, and now I want a slim, sexy, black or “blackwash” flashlight to match. I have a Lumintop Tool AA UV light and it’s basically the perfect size, except the clip sits way too low. I looked at the normal version, and it’s 6500K which is WAY too cool for my tastes.

So what I’m looking for, in order of preference:

  • Slim and trim with a black Deep Carry Pocket Clip
  • Body is ideally black color, non-tactical, dressy, and classy.
  • Warm light
  • High CRI
  • No real budget - can be $2 or $200 if it meets the criteria, but definitely a preference for value where possible - in other words, I’d buy the $20 Lumintop AA even with the crappy light output if it just had a deep carry clip.

Thanks, y’all, and happy to see this community (and especially Zak!) here in the Fediverse!

    Check out the warm white copper Wurkkos TS10 I just posted here. You could also darken the copper.
