I’m always worried I’ll lose my EDC light since the ones’ I carry are usually in the $50+ range (SC52, V11R, SRT3, or RRT-01). I usually keep my light clipped inside my pants pocket. Each light also has a lanyard attached connected to a carabiner on my belt for extra piece of mind.
I use something similar to the one pictured, but it’s wrist lanyard length. They seem to have them in either wrist or around the neck lengths. It has a quick detach connect so I don’t need to unhook the lanyard completely if I don’t need it.
I hear some cpf members lose their lights after getting plowed too S) hehehehe >) whenever I have a light missing I check my son’s room 99.9% off the time I find it there.
I’m carrying an S2 Convoy as well…with a 3C XPG2 Noctigon and 3A, 4-mode Qlite, smooth reflector…and a clip. My current fave, the XPG2 really seems perfect for these and it throws quite well. Got it from RMM…great host, great seller!
I lost my EDC light the other night when my sister looked at my new D25A and said “Oooh can I have this? You can’t tell me with a straight face that you will be without a flashlight if you give that one to me.” Yeah, I can buy another one, but, but I liked that one.
It’s better to have loved and lost your EDC than never to have loved an EDC at all…
Bummer. Sorry you lost your light. I carry a Moddoolar Pocket (I have for several years) and would be pissed if I lost it. On the other hand, I have lots of lights and it would take me all of 10 seconds to grab a different light to carry.
A better place than the pockets of a flashaholic?
What place would that be?
flashlight heaven? 0:) 0:) 0:)
I guess loosing an EDC is just as annoying as see it brake or defective.
That brings to mind, that I still have to resurrect my beloved Xiaozhi, probably in 2014.
bummer. I keep my edc’s either holstered or lanyarded with a bayou clip, have you checked between the seats or under the seats in the car? I found my beloved oem big head d4 behind the van seat a couple of weeks back, I was convinced the kids had binned it, it had been missing for months, cant tell you the relief you’ll feel when you find it. fingers crossed for you bro.
I have given the car a pretty good look over, but I'll check between the "cushions" and such. I think my most likely place of losing it was getting out of the car in the parking lot (coat grabbing the light's clip). I did look around the area this morning, but like I said the plow has been through the area.
Thats a shame, hope it shows up before you order a replacement. I’ve lost two of my edc lights. The first was a jetbeam ba10 that I lost in the snow in front of my parents house. When I came back a few weeks later after it had all melted it was still there and still worked just fine, but I had already ordered a replacement.
My other lost edc was a convoy s4 (t6-4c) that I lost on a search in the jemez mountains the same month I got it. I ordered a replacemt and still edc the same light, but now its on a cobra stitched paracord lanyard with a metal ring on one side that clips into a carabiner that holds my keys to my pants and a s-biner on the other end that connects to a small split ring on the light so I can easily disconnect it for use.
I’d love to find that s4 and see if it still works
