Daily Flashlight Carry - What you got?

[birdshooter]

Streamlight Microstream USB for the last 3 years. Really great rechargable LED light that hangs on my keychain.

This right here. Except mine lays loose in my pocket. It was FDE in color but is almost silver now. Great light. I gave one to my best friend that is a police officer, he liked his so much that he, in turn gave one to his Dad who is a reserve officer.

Fenix LD02 in my shirt/vest pocket, Fenix LOD on the keyring, and a LAPG Operator mini EDC in my pocket ( I like the level memory)

At work, Olight S1RBaton. I need something very small, yet able to produce good light.
Otherwise, Olight Mini-Warrior. “Sharpie” sized light with side and tail switch.
Both rechargeable.

And yes, my wife says I need to get on a 12 step program for Olight’s.

 

[Kanewpadle]

I’ve switched to Olight. Very well made at decent prices.

In my jacket pocket I carry a two AA-cell Maglite and in my truck I have a 5 C-cell Maglite. Conventional filament bulbs have been replaced with LED bulbs.

I'm not well versed on flashlights - what is a "tactical switch" is that like a maglite where you rotate the barrel to turn the lamp on and off?

Mine's an iPhone, but that's the only one I carry on purpose. I can get to others in my purse and Jeep, and those are generally Surefire of various configurations . . .

This is the only light I carry.

Streamlight Pro-Tac 1L/1AA. Uses either a single CR123 or single AA battery. It's survived being a daily companion for over three years (plus two trips in the washing machine). Small enough that I forget its there until I need it.

I'm with Rusty & Muss on this one. Most of my regular flashlights recharge from a USB port and are very bright. Gun, wallet, keys, & phone are enough to keep track of.

Well not for pocket carry for sure but it´s a good light and has a holster - Klarus ST 15 rated at 1100 Lumens.Not much of a thrower tough.Since I´m a sucker for a thrower I´ve got myself an Astrolux FT 03 . Also not for pocket carry, but comes with a holster as well.

Regards, Ray

It usually refers to a button that allows the user to turn the light on momentarily without having to click it on and off, usually on the tailcap.

Been thinking about getting that Streamlight that runs on CR123 or AA alkaline batteries

Streamlight Pro-Tac 1L/1AA. Uses either a single CR123 or single AA battery.

That's the one I was thinking of. I keep forgetting the name of it.

 

[johnbeaver]

Fenix PD 25. And I use it daily. The older I get, the harder it is to see in dimly lit spaces.
Oh, and I did buy another Streamlight. Larger one I keep in the truck. Even though I have had switch problems with every Streamlight I have ever had.
This one is good....so far.

 

[ContinentalOp]

Now y'all have me thinking about getting a high output light to keep in the car, something with a long throw. *sigh*

 

[BillBond]

Surefire E2L with KX2A 45 lumen head.
I have ones that are much brighter, but the 45 lumen head is great for my work.

 

[MetalMan]

Nebo RC “Inspector”....360max lumens in a nice compact package.

 

[jag312]

I have had two Maglites (4 D cells) for years. I keep one in my house, and one in my car. They served me well at crime scenes at night.

 

[GaryHK]

Nebo RC “Inspector”....360max lumens in a nice compact package.

Nebos aren't too bad at all, good quality. Wife has one going on 5 years now.

 

[Puller]

I've have been pleased with my two Surefire Executive Carry incandescent lights that I've had for years, but I recently purchased a couple of Fenix 1000 lumen lights that are just as tough, a whole lot brighter, less costly, and run longer on a set of batteries.

I wonder what it is that many of us find so attractive, so appealing, about flashlights that we keep on buying them when we already have more than we need?

They just have that nifty factor that is hard to resist....

(Like Muss and Rusty, the only one that I normally have with me is my phone, and that's normally all I use on the rare occasion I need one, but that doesn't keep me from continuing to buy them...)
