Tactical flashlights and everyday carry flashlights are not mutually exclusive. That is to say a tactical flashlight can be an everyday carry flashlight.  “An everyday carry light can be a tactical light, but more importantly, it is a size that somebody can comfortably have with them all day and every day,” says Atwell. “For most people, an everyday carry flashlight (EDC) will be carried in a pocket or clipped to a belt. Generally, an EDC flashlight will be small and unobtrusive.”
