Fenix flashlights are an EDC favorite due to their reliability and solid set of features, and owners (like those on our forum) would be the first to tell you that the brand's reputation is entirely well-deserved. The UC line is Fenix's foray into the rechargeable light market, and the UC35 bears the standard for the series. Based on the highly popular PD35, the UC35 adds micro USB charging to its impressive set of features, including five brightness modes at a max of 960 lumens with 656 feet of throw from its XM-L2 U2 emitter, a strobe mode, and digitally-regulated output that maintains constant brightness. The UC35 takes 18650 or 2 x CR123 cells, with a low-power warning function that indicates remaining battery levels. Roll up all these features in IPX-8 waterproof, type III hard anodized aluminum with Fenix's high build standards, and you've got yourself one of the best lights to come out this year.
