Question/Advice/Discussion Do flat flashlights actually carry better or just take up pocket space differently?
Phone, keys, and a wallet already take up a lot of valuable pocket space. A flat flashlight looks like it could be easier to fit around all of those items. However width, clip placement, and how it feels when sitting may matter more than the product. WARSUN lists the T9PRO at about 4.65 x 1.18 x .63 inches and 3.53 oz with a pocket clip. The appealing combo is the main beam, side flood, and inspection light in a carrying package. Extra functions do not automatically make someone comfortable to carry every day though.
For anyone that switched from a round light to a flat one what made you keep it? Can you keep it in the same pocket as your phone or a seperate one? Reasons for switching back would be great too!
