Your pocket/keychain flashlight?

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.

My keychain light was the Olight i3E till I found this forum and now I am carrying the Lumintop EDC01 on my keys.
I also have a Lumintop Tool but so far I prefer the 01 for the keychain.

It really is amazing how powerful some of these small lights can be.

Reylight Pineapple

  • Is it a AA or AAA or lion? 14500 Li-Ion
  • Why’d you choose that one? I like the styling a lot and I love brass
  • How long have you been carrying it? Only a few weeks. Prior to this it was a Olight S1R
  • How often do you use it? Every day
  • How’s it working for you? Great. Love it
  • How’s the wear-n-tear on the finish? Beautiful. The brass is starting to patina nicely
  • Do you carry more than one? I only carry a single light in my pocket but usually have a more powerful light in the backpack I carry every day

Any hint on the flashlight? :wink:

I am perhaps beeing a bit paranoid but do all the people here sharing their keys pictures on open forum know that many key types can be copied from a simple picture ?

Ok "not my real name", "they don't have my adress", or even " i don't fear anyone", ..., name your own but i prefer to make sure everyone is doing it knowingly ;-)

My only keychains light for maybe 10 years and up to now are cheap chinese 2*CR2016 Photon micro-light rip off, i always have one in my pocket plus one on each key set.

Considering to replace them with some AAA.

But 99% time i have something else (used to be Fenix LD10 or LD20, now i am more on the S2 like side) either in my coat and/or in my edc backpack
