MikeG36 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Along the lines of the pocket knife thread, I'm curious how many of us carry a flashlight. I have been carrying a Streamlight ProTac 2L-X for about a year. Before that a hodgepodge of SureFire, Streamlight and even a Fenix. I use mine every day.

Huaco Kid Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I bought a 12-pack of super-cheap (~$3 each) headlamps. Sometimes I forget they're on my head and people laugh at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Surefire 6p-led is what i carry daily and a photon keychain light in my edc i also carry from time to time a streamlight strion but the battery life sucks. i have several streamlight stingers and other surefires e2d and Gx-2 and a 9p-led rechargeable conversion next to my bed.

Cougar_ml Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I've got one on each keyring, and 4 others in various pockets. I typically only use 2 of them plus occasionally the keyring, but I had a couple pockets without stuff in them I wanted to fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATCHMAN Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Since the late 1990s with Surefire 6P. Around 2006 or so added a Malkoff LED head. Have Surefire 9Ps, G2s and G3s all with Malkoff LED conversions around house and in cars. Edited February 10, 2019 by PATCHMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Yes, a Streamlight with 2 CR123s. way better for most of the things I'd use a light for, than the lights provided by my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ede Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Not often but once in a while I might have one on me. This is a Stream light I had in my pocket. I put reflective tape on mine so when I drop them they're easier to find with another light. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minderasr Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Been carrying a Fenix PD22UE for years now. (not my image) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someday Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Fenix PD35 and a multi-tool everywhere I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hawk Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Part of my EDC gear includes a flashlight and extra battery as well as a couple knives. Also included in the EDC lineup is either a Glock 40 or a .357 with extra ammo. Retired LED. Old habits are hard to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccabeus Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 We had a thread on this a little while back. I carry one every day because it's clipped to my wallet: I've been experimenting with this Olight, that replaces the Steamlight Micro Stream I've carried for quite a while. It's brighter, but not necessarily better. I have a couple bigger lights in each car, a couple at work, and, of course, my cell phone has a light one quick chopping motion away.

You can walk through the pitch-black woods, holding a bic lighter over your head, like the Statue Of Liberty, and probably find your flashlight.

Rinspeed Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Zebralight SC52 every day for the last 8 years. Best AA light made in my opinion, the newer SC5 is even brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Over the last decade I have carried various surefire lights. I found the small Olight S1 Baton about 2 years ago and that is now my favorite, I carry that and a surefire 6px tactical daily but use the Olight 90% of the time. The magnet on the tail cap is very handy, just an all around a useful little light. I love the half lumen setting for doing paperwork in the dark, is just bright enough to see what I need and not blinding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly all the protected 16340 batteries suck big time so a Zebralight that puts out similar lumens with a AA makes much more sense for me. I have a bunch of Eneloop and Recyko rechargeables. after eight years I don't think I've had to throw out a single one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have one in my truck, on my nightstand, and in the living room. Tim, you talk about a manbag. I'll probably carry a Denali case when I get into practice. Trying to figure out what medical and uh, survival kit to carry on my person. I guess it depends on what I wear at work. Scrubs are harder to conceal in than a labcoat and khakis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
