Product, travel, food, and other reviews. Brutally honest. For all walks.
While at the 2026 National Rifle Association Great American Outdoor Show we stopped by to visit our friends at the Powertac booth. Powertac has some high quality everyday carry flashlights for a reasonable price. Earlier this year they unveiled the Quad. Rodger talks to TSRs about the Quad and more!
The Nitecore EDC37 is marketed as an everyday carry flashlight, but real-world use tells a more nuanced story. After several months of testing, it proved extremely capable for technical and professional tasks. Brightness, candela, and flexibility are strengths, though size and weight limit its practicality as a true EDC option.
The Nextorch TA22 rechargeable tactical penlight is an ultra-bright everyday carry option. The TA22 delivers where other penlights fall flat. We carried the TA22 for a few months and it quickly found itself high on the letter board. Our review dives into this great and versatile lighting option.
Having an everyday carry flashlight is important. Nextorch has impressed us here at The Square Reviews. A recent addition to their line, the K30 850 lumen rechargeable penlight has a niche, but doesn’t disappoint. We ran around with this light for some time and this review goes over our experiences.
We reviewed the Streamlight ProTac® 2AA-X rechargeable LED flashlight after using it for several months. The light packs a punch for its size. With a maximum lumen of 550, the ProTac delivers. Suitable for occupational settings, the outdoors, emergency purposes, or even everyday carry. Limited lifetime warranty and quality product.
At the 2025 SHOT Show® we had a chance to talk with Brett from Streamlight. Brett gave us a full rundown of some of the company’s newest offerings as well as discussed some changes to past products. They’ve got some great new everyday carry flashlights and some weapons mounted lights.
Nextorch makes a line of high lumen flashlights. Designed for use by law enforcement, security, and tactical purposes, Nextorch also offers suitable everyday carry lights. They even have lights that outdoor enthusiasts might want. We chatted with Jordan at the 2025 SHOT Show® for a rundown on the latest offerings.
The TA30C Max flashlight by Nextorch is an ultra bright behemoth of a lamp. Packing in a 3000 lumen max brightness, the TA30C Max is a powerful lighting option as well as a good self-defense option. Our review covers the features of this heavy duty 21700 series high lumen light.
The Streamlight Stylus Pro USB flashlight is mighty and puts out 350 lumen. Because the light uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery, Streamlight was able to design the light to pack a lot of punch. We reviewed this flashlight and love the upgrades that were made on the AAA version.
The Square Reviews attended the 2024 Great American Outdoor Show and had a chance to meet up with the good folks at the Nextorch booth. In this booth side interview, we chat with Jordan about some of their popular lights and the features. Tune into this interview to learn more.
The Nextorch TA30C tactical flashlight is a rechargeable high lumen EDC. Perfect for police and security industries, or general use. We took the TA3C for a test drive over the last nine months and relay our experience. Our review dives into the features of this 1600 lumen 18650 series flashlight.
During the 2024 National Rifle Association Great American Outdoor Show we stopped by to visit our friends from Powertac Flashlights. Powertac makes an incredible line of robust lights that are great for everyday carry, use in the outdoors, and occupational settings. Check out our great interview with Roger from Powertac!
The Etekcity LED camping lantern might be just what you’re looking for. We reviewed the 30 LED lamp after having owned and used one for several years. The easy to use pop-up design makes this lantern fool-proof to turn on and off, and it stows away in a compact design.
The Streamlight Stylus Pro flashlight is an affordable must have for those who value flashlight options. Our review of the AAA penlight talks about experiences we had with using the 100 lumen LED light as an everyday carry for over a year. Easy to carry in a pocket or purse!
This review of the Powertac M5 Gen two 2030 lumen ultra bright flashlight covers all the bases. The powerful everyday carry M5 delivers in many ways and is able to be recharged externally via a proprietary charger. M5’s use 18650 batteries that can also be charged in any compatible charger.
