EDC Light

[AustinBR]

I was just curius what kind of lights y'all are carrying nowadays and moreso how you incorporate them into your EDC. I really don't like stuff in my pockets and am trying to find a better alternative. What do you do?

Been carrying it on a keychain for a year. Lasts over 1 hours on a full charge, charges in about 20 minutes from dead on any USB. Clip hole broke so I ted it to the flashlight with safety wire. Will it spotlight dear from 200 yards? no. Will it change a tire at night on the side of a dark country road or get me around a building if the power was out? Look into that dark area of the cupboard? Search the floorboard of my car at night? Yes, and that is what I realistically need an EDC light for. For $6.09, throw one on your next amazon order and try it, you can't lose.

Seriously, read the reviews, over 60% 4 stars or higher. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it is very small.

I have about 10 of these in different places. Carry one in my pocket maybe half the time. Really bright considering the price and the battery. If you splurge for 4.5V lithium battery, I'd go so far to say as being impressive.

A (2) 123 cell 5.11 aluminum body, 200 lumen in the left front pocket .
It clips to the rear of the pocket and a spare mag is jammed into the front of the pocket.
Carry the light every day for work, gets where I only notice when it's not there.

I carry a Surefire 6px defender in my back pocket with the spare mag. But i dont really like it because of its size. I have been looking at smaller light lately.

Really digging my Streamlight ProTac 1L. Awesome little light for the money.

I carry in my pocket, because the only other place I can think of to carry a light would be rather uncomfortable.

I carry a Surefire E2D led in my support side front pocket. It's duel role light and less lethal impact weapon since I don't carry my X26 or baton plain clothes.

Jetbeam BC10, 30 or 270 lumens and pretty small: http://www.amazon.com/JETBeam-BC10-...8&qid=1442881368&sr=1-1&keywords=jetbeam+bc10

And a streamlight nano on my keyring: http://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-7...id=1442881600&sr=1-1&keywords=nano+flashlight

Beat me to it! Same EDC light for me.

Streamlight Microstream C4 LED Pen Flashlight. Always in my pocket. Nice small bright pen light.

Yep.

Streamlight ProTac 2L ...

 

[spec50trout]

Nano on the key chain. Microstream or Stylus Pro if I carry something larger. Inexpensive Surfires scattered around house and vehicles.

I use three at different times for different occasions. Fenix PD35,E12, and PD22. I really like them, they are really well made and very bright.

Streamlight PT1L

Had it for about 4 years now, still running strong.

Streamlight ProTac1L

 

[SicilianSecrets]

I second Fenixs. Nice lights and bright.

I have carried 2 light for the past 4 years. First a Streamlight ProTac 1L in the pouch on my belt. The second is the Streamlight Stylus Pro, in my pocket using the clip. The ProTac is small but lights up a dark corner or room very nicely. Also good in scary parking lots late at night. I don't use it much. My regular used one is the Stylus Pro. It gets used when I working in comm closets, looking for that stupid thing I just dropped, reading menu's in the restaurant (my wife hates when I do that) or working on the car, under the hood.

Another PT-1L here. Great light for the money! I even took a night shooting class with it and it handled every drill like a champ. I also have one of these Inova's clipped to my keys: http://www.lapolicegear.com/inmi2.html. It's good for rummaging around the center console, under the seats of the truck, etc. However, I think I'm going to swap it out for one of the new Surefire Titan Plus' : http://www.surefire.com/illumination/flashlights/titan-b.html. I mean 300 lumen from a single AAA keychain is pretty F'n impressive!
