[stingray1966]

I have a coast G 25 that I love
But my problem is I like to keep it in
My pockit and at lest 2-3 times a week
I run the battery down because I hit the on button
While in my pockit
Is there some thing better to keep in
My pockit

Look into the streamlight strion. They are small and a lot of models are rechargeable. I'm a big fan of streamlight. Own probably 8-10 of them.

Don't recall the model number, but I use the streamlight mini, takes one AAA battery. Use it every day at work, easy in, easy out and you can't push the button accidently and turn it on. Great lights.

I've carried a Fenix E11 for a while now, but it was discontinued. E12 is the replacement.

Due to the lack of a proper low mode in the E11 I just ordered a custom Sunwayman V11R with a Nichia 219 emitter swap, because I have become a snob for tint and CRI. About $110 shipped, will run on (R)CR123A or also alkaline or NiMH AA with the optional extender tube. Hopefully that will be my perfect pocket light for years to come.

When I need something bigger I have an old Surefire 6P with a Malkoff drop in or a Streamlight Night Com UV (which also includes UV capabilities for leak detection.)
