Perhaps not quite "EDC" but this light does serve a niche role as a defensive light. It sits next to my primary HD pistol in the safe, and it rides comfortably in my front-left pants pocket (replacing a small EDC light) if venturing out in the public at night;

Malkoff M91T head on a MD3 body with a Surefire tailcap and Raven Concealment clip. This head uses a TIR lens that focuses the light into a 750-lumen/20,000-lux beam. Along with its simple UI and foolproof single output (no programming to get unprogrammed), it fills the role exceptionally well. I find the MD3 length body easy to grasp and keep a firm grip on, and it's long enough to serve as an impact weapon if needed.
This light gets daily use as my "walk the dogs" light: a Malkoff M91B head on a MD3 body, worn in a Kytex Gear holster;

The M91B uses a reflector which results in more uniform beam (1,000-lumen/8,500 lux), making it ideal for keeping on eye on the dogs. I also have a high/low bezel switch installed in this light, the low setting (approximately 30 lumens) quite adequate once I've done my initial scan on high. I usually clip it onto my belt as it gets dark and leave it on until I retire for the evening.
Good illumination tools are a worthy investment.
That's my next Malkoff, using a MD3 body. Not sure on which head though.
Are you running 2 18500 batteries?
