Design Philosphy
Maintaining situational awareness in low-light spaces for your personal safety and protection is challenging enough without having to fuss with the operation of your EDC flashlight.
|
The clumsy multi-button user interfaces, confusing programming and awkward handling characteristics found on most imported "tactical" flashlights are delightfully absent on EDCLB flashlights. A simple and intuitive UI, a tailcap switch perfectly configured for precise control of momentary operation, and excellent in-hand ergonomics for fumble-free handling under stress are the hallmarks of our powerful EDC pocket flashlights.
|
Along with compact size, light weight and excellent ergonomics, there are also no surprises when you press the switch on an EDCLB Personal Security Pro flashlight: Maximum output. Every time. Without fail.||||Read More >
How They're Built
Every EDC Light Builder EDC flashlight is hand-assembled to order and fully tested in New Hampshire, U.S.A. Using new, high quality globally-sourced components we produce compact yet extremely powerful everyday carry flashlights.

Our goal is simple: to build the most reliable, the most durable and the most easy-to-use-under-stress EDC flashlight possible. For their size and weight, our high candela EDC flashlights are among the brightest pocket flashlights available with output ratings of up to 55,000 candela.

What They Say
"I had the opportunity to work with the light a fair amount during last night’s training. It performed well for me across a range of tasks including static flat range, barricades, and some light shoot house work. "I was particularly interested to see how it would work for me in the house, especially running an RDS. No significant issues, and none that could not be easily mitigated, across multiple runs under a variety of lighting conditions. Overall I am extremely pleased with the light. It more than adequately fills the role I intended and has earned a place as a regular piece of equipment for me."
Kevin B., GA (E2XTD 18350 Fat Boy)"I was searching for high-performance EDC light and it quickly became apparent that the best lights are those built by knowledgeable experts. I lacked both the know-how and time to acquire a top-performing light, and EDC Light Builder came to rescue with an awesome light at a great price. The entire process from order to delivery was quick, efficient, and the provided documentation was excellent! I unhesitatingly recommend EDC Light Builder as the pathway into high-performance flashlights for personal defense."
Noah B., LA (BGV2 18350 Bodyguard)"The BGV2 18350 Bodyguard has been my duty carry since I received it in July. I have carried it everyday for the last two months and it has exceeded all my expectations. I can't say enough about this light! It is perfect for my uses on duty. The bodyguard is made from the highest quality parts. I strongly recommend purchasing from EDCLightbuilder and the Bodyguard for daily use when it matters."
Dave C., OH (BGV2 18350 Bodyguard)"I purchased an 18350 Bodyguard light, and have found it to be an extremely impressive light. The light uses carefully selected components which really fine tune its capabilities. The use of an 18350 cell makes it possible to use higher current draws while also improving the run time of such a small light. The switch is tailored to minimize the likelihood of activating the constant on setting without deliberately doing so. The lanyard is the first lanyard I have seen which actually works well for its intended purpose. The light takes up minimal space in a pocket, making it easy to carry daily. I highly recommend this light."
Bill L., PA (BGV2 18350 Bodyguard)"Folks—this is the first product endorsement I’ve ever written, EDCLB's lights are that good. If you want a high end light, go with one of EDCLB’s builds. Quality, functionality, and reliability are what you get."
Fred G., TX (BGV2 18350 Bodyguard)"I wanted to have a truly bright, high intensity light that was compact and lightweight enough for easy carry, yet capable of temporarily blinding a nighttime would-be assailant at need. Carried on the supplied lanyard in a pants pocket, the BGV2 18350 Bodyguard is instantly accessible, but compact and lightweight. There's no fiddling with programming or accidentally getting low-intensity illumination when you need brightness; this is a purpose-built light which gives instant high-intensity illumination."
Bob M, UT (BGV2 18350 Bodyguard)
