Your pocket/keychain flashlight?

Using Olight I1R right now with a vic classic, but I rotate it once in a while with I3eos, fenix ld01, nitecore Tini, 47’s mini cr2, and sometimes swap the vic classic for vic signature light for the pen

I don’t know if this really counts, but the FW3A clips pretty comfortably into the center of some bras. It’s kind of like a pocket…

You are such a tease :wink: Pictures please or it didn’t happen. And would just light up your chin, unless you have a particularly impressive embonpoint or spectacular bra. Maybe Lady GaGa, leather bondage style outfit. That could work.

Leather. Nice.

Meanwhile I have the Nitecore Tube, and the TIP. the Tube is quite weak but does the job and is by far the best little re-chargeable keychain light, on a budget. The TIP is very strong, probably all that anyone might need, and versatile, the UI and power management is OK. Efficiency seems very good to me and the internal cell is good. Summary: these are both good.

Don’t bother with the “Tropical” finish that I chose, it’s not hard PVD, just cheap plating that is already crumbling off after half year. A disappointment. Just buy the plain SS, or AL versions (or if you must I think they offer a Cu version. Why ?, unless you are a patina fetishist)

Where’s your lingerie pics Tom Tom?

Smdh how about a little respect for your fellow BLF member… There’s plenty of places to see boobs on the internet, this isn’t one and I’m 10000% sure she doesn’t come here to be asked for them.

Well that third mind image wasn’t so pleasant, thanks CK :smiley:

I wish I was a woman so I could carry bigger flashlights between my boobies…
Well, winter is here and I can wear sweatshirts with big pockets… two good reason to finally EDC my D4 !

Carry a DQG mini aaa xpg2 nw in the coin pocket of my jeans, a photon freedom in my other pocket, and a nitecore tube on the keychain. When going out at night something bigger as well.

Yes, that’s been my EDC since June. D4 with an short tube running Anduril.

Well that’s a shame, I wanted one. Going to search for pictures now.

failed to answer all the questions previously :person_facepalming:

Is it a AA or AAA or lion? 18350 Li-ion
Why’d you choose that one? Its the best UI, high enough hi, low enough low, small enough for me
How long have you been carrying it? 5 months
How often do you use it? multiple times a day, especially this time of year.
How’s it working for you? :+1:
How’s the wear-n-tear on the finish? Like new except for a small surface deform on a corner where it was dropped, ano is fine, just a small flat spot
Do you carry more than one? no

So what is the flashlight you carry in your pocket and/or on your key chain?
Jet Beam Jet-u AAA

  • Is it a AA or AAA or lion? … AAA (I use AAA Eneloop)
  • Why’d you choose that one? … Got it at a super great price & liked it.
  • How long have you been carrying it? … 18 months or so.
  • How often do you use it? … Multiple times a day.
  • How’s it working for you? … It is working just fine.
  • How’s the wear-n-tear on the finish? … Finish is holding up great so far.
  • Do you carry more than one? … Yes, on many occasions I do carry other lights. But I always have this one.

My key chain light is the Harbor Freight 70 lumen single emitter ( NOT the 9 led ) version. Decent CW beam that serves purpose with close range lighting. Triple AAA in carrier powers this light

BTW, this is free with any purpose from Harbor Freight

That is oddly both an easier and harder requirement than free with any purchase.

:wink: … Good eye…. :+1:

Just wanted to mention it, because it looked like it wasn’t done on porpoise.

I was just looking on that EDC link above. You lot are volatile.
I carry a small SOG Penknife in pocket with house keys and a Astrolux AO1.

We don’t even lock the house doors here yet.


addendum.

Is it a AA or AAA or lion?
Li-Po4.

Why’d you choose that one?
don’t know it’s in pocket

How long have you been carrying it?
About 6 months or so

How often do you use it?
daily.

How’s it working for you?
Pretty good.

How’s the wear-n-tear on the finish?
maybe 1% round mounting point of ring…

Do you carry more than one.
At nighttime.

You sure about that? I haven’t heard of any cases of spontaneous flashaholic combustion thus far :stuck_out_tongue:

As for the thread: I switched the Tool AA v2.0 into the EDC rotation for testing. Time will tell if I remain a fan of it like I am now.

I have 2 both are Aleto k209b twisties. They run of off 16350 batteries at 1 amp.

One head has the xml dedomed while the other is standard.

One tube has a pocket clip installed and the other a short chain with key ring.

Have had them for about 2 years. The finish is ok though they both have a couple of scratches. The pocket clip wears down the finish on the heads a bit.

I chose them because they are so cheap that they are almost disposable so I won’t cry if I lose them while working. The light output is impressive for the size at over 300 lumen on high and the low beam is very usable.

The tint and smaller hotspot on the dedomed head is definitely my favourite.

What I don’t like is the strobe mode and I’ll eventually sort that with a 7135x3 or 7135x4 driver and possibly upgrading them to newer emitters. Runtime is also not the greatest but I rarely use them for more than 10 minutes in a day.

Is it a AA or AAA or lion?
Li-Ion.

Why’d you choose that one?
No specific reason, just carry them.

How long have you been carrying it?
About 1-2 years.

How often do you use it?
Quite often.

How’s it working for you?
Pretty good.

How’s the wear-n-tear on the finish?
Full of scars.

Do you carry more than one?
Sometimes.

I don’t carry a flashlight in my pocket and I never did on regular basis.
I carry a flashlight in my backpack, I used to do that for years.
I have another on my neck, that’s a development from less than a year ago.
