How do you carry your EDC light?

Well I voted the keychain option, since that's really my only true EDC. During winter months I carry a backup - usually single AA size - in a jacket pocket. Tbh, personally I find pocket clips almost invariably too stiff or too flimsy.

DQG II AAA NW @ keychain... Never ever without a flashlight! Still waiting for my both new toys - DQG III AAA NW and CW.

When bicycling at night - I use to wear my Zebralight H51 at head and take XM-L Solarforce L2 at handlebar holder.

Not exactly EDC but I usually have my maxpedition bag nearby and that normally has a solarforce and a C8 in it. Sometimes carry an ITP in pocket.

The DQG II and Spyderco Bug are always on a length of beaded chain, around my neck.

I carry my ITP A3 EOS around my neck on paracord at all times.

I also carry either my MXDL\XML in my pocket

or my Hugsby P31 clipped to my pocket.

I carry a Quark AA "X" 14500 in my right pocket with a deep clip. Right next to a Benchmade Mini Griptillian and some kind of sturdy SS pen. Yeah, they rub against each other. give's em character, no shelf queens here! Phone deeper in the pocket, doesnt really rub against them. Keys in the left pocket - cant clip anything to the left pocket or the keys catch it.

For days when something smaller is required, a modded EoStream 10440 (my old EDC) replaces the quark. I still like the EoStream better for holding my mouth hands free, but the quark is not terribly uncomfortable.

I've thought about adding a DQG III to the keychain, but that would strictly be as a backup light, not a primary EDC. Can't hold it hands free in my mouth when its on a keychain. Likewise I've never been a huge fan of anything hanging around my neck. So pocket carry for me!

I use clip for attaching DQG to keychain. Clip it off if I need spare flashlight less than second passed.

Inside a cargo pocket, one on either side.

Rusty Joy, there is something that I've never quite understood that you may be able to help with. I can't for the life of me figure out how anybody can put anything with any substantial mass in their cargo pockets and go about their day. Anytime I've ever tried it, especially if I have to move with any speed, the objects create a pendulum effect. Very annoying I find. Have you experienced this? If so, doesn't it bother you?

I own plenty of cargos, but can't bring myself to to wear them more than just occasionally, despite wanting to to want their extra capacity. I'd be interested in any other's opinions too.

CQG/BLF-S1 keychain and a second AA /cr123light in my left hand pocket depending on my mood .

My work pants all have cargo pockets and I never put anything in there. I find it very annoying. Maybe I could get used to it if I tried it but I will never know.

Side pockets on pants/shorts are quite annoying in this regard(?), I try to carry only lightweight items in them that wont bounce and wont fall out easily when walking/running/crawling/whatever :D.

I carry my lights either in my jackets side pockets or in my pants front pocket, if its pants or shorts then I attach my light using clip.

So, I see I'm not the only one who thinks cargo pockets lack the utility they purport to have. I would love to jam a bunch or stuff in there, but as soon as you go active, they fall short.

Hey, I was loving my cargo pants during the underground survey. I was able to stick my folder 6' wooden ruler right into one of those pockets and not have to wear my survey belt/pouch (similar to a carpenters pouch). It fit perfectly into that pocket without slop though and I wasn't very active. I didn't put anything else in any of the other pockets though (other than my SK68 clone clipped in my left side front pocket).

Yeah... IMHO cargo pants are good as a backup or temporary storage. I find my waistline/hips are the best place for gear. Its a relatively immobile location on my body, below my spine/back so items stowed here do not seem as "weighty" when I am on the trails.

Agreed - I can't put anything in cargo's except for temporary usage. Now for temporary things, its great, stuff anything you want in there, even a water bottle. But thats just for a short time... long term, only thing I'll put in there is papers, memory cards, lens caps, etc.

When I have to carry more gear than my pockets will allow I use one of these and I like it a lot .

Hey Jack, where's the limerick to go along with that?

I wear Levi's every day and I carry a Lumapower Incendio V3+ in the little watch pocket. The light is with me from the time I put my pants on in the morning until I take them off at night. The nice part is that you never know it's there until you need it.

HAHAHAHA! This is what happens when the BLF Poet Laureate creates such high expectations. More, more, more! We can never be satiated. You've created a monster. I'm going to beam with pride when years from now I tell people that, "I was there at the beginning".
