Low output around 10 lumens (this will do for 90% of the daily use)
LONG run time on low

Water resistant (ideally 1m or 2m rating)
NO BUTTON CELLS
Nice to have:
Able to use rechargable Li-ion standard size batteries
Dream light

I currently EDC a Fenix PD35. It checks all the boxes on the must and nice to have lists.
