I like how your SC62w looks after all these years. It’s a great flashlight! I carried mine for about a year or so. My wife tried it out a couple years ago, loved it, and is now her flashlight. The only time I see it now is when the battery needs to be charged again.
Best guesses. Seat belt. Caught on pull over, jacket or T shirt…while crouching. Leaning against stuff, or climbing through brush.
I did notice the clip would rise on occasion, after setting or crouching. And the length of the knife ended up right on top of my leg when
crouching. Thinking leg pushed up on the knife and the suspension clip help guild it to freedom.
A single-AAA twisty is in my right front pocket nearly all the time. I keep one in my dress pants, one on my work pants, and one in my pajama bottoms, and have several spares on top of the chest of drawers.
Since this poll is still open: I carry loose in pocket, but at home I use the clip with the light outside my pocked, facing down, so I can get quick, hands-free illumination. I like the d4v2 clip.
And yes I sometimes do just wear a headlamp, turned OFF, for hours (at home only haha )
I switched to carrying a light in my back left pocket and a cutting instrument in my right back pocket a few years ago and haven’t switched since (unless dress requirements dictate otherwise). Pocket clips greatly enhance the ease of egress and ingress in this location (other things reside in those pockets, too, so placement is important).
I guess if I had lights stored in enough places (car, garage, desk, etc) then I could live with that. I really like the convenience of having one on me at all times though. I have the Zebralight SC64C LE because it is so small it can live in the same pocket as my wallet and I don’t even notice that it is there. And yet, it can hit 828 lumens if the need arises and the lower lumen modes could last for days.
Out of curiosity, do you carry a knife or multitool?
The only time I carry a light is when I head out in the dark —walk-trail—etc —- all the other times I have lights in my vehicles —toolboxes —desk —nightstand —vanity —and many other places
Tec p7 clip (knock offs don’t work) to hold my foursevens mini III (kinda $$$ for what it is, but the only 123 twisty with memory for high) - clipped front left
I used to clip back left, but bent one clip badly on a bus seat
Larger lights feel too bulky when clipped to my pocket, and I find I always bang against things
