What are your Every Day Carry (EDC) flashlights?

Nlight B3 [ AAA 3 mode ] No1 carry light ...

After that

Ultrafire M2 [ AA ]

Yezl-Ray [ AA ]

JetBeam [ AA ]

Maaratac AAA

ITP AAA

A20 XM-L [ 16340 ]

Solarforce L2T XM-L [ Low Current = 1.4A driver ]

A ~ 850 lumen 18650 Uniquefire UF-2100 that costed me $14.30 shipped from Dinodirect group buy. A bit big at 120mm and 21 x 21mm, but still manageable with the mini lanyard hooked to the keys. Draws 3 amps and bright like hell on the lux meter! The good thing is that low mode is pretty low, like 70mA only and about 30 lumens so it can run like forever in this with the 18650. And PWM is at 1.7kHz measured, it is absolutely impossible to detect with the naked eyes even on fast moving objects, unless you are talking about fan blades on high mode. That's like 2X as fast as iTP.

My EDC torch is my XM-L Micro-Maglite (2*AA minimag shortened to single AA) that I carry in a custom leather holster. As bright as any other of my XM-L torches on high and a nice 5% low mode for book or map reading.

My other EDC is a Yezl A1. I purchased this light for use with AA cells only to find it was a horrible light. It was almost impossible to differentiate between all 3 dim modes. I really didn't want another 14500 torch but after trying it with one the light came to life - nice low, perfect medium and extremely bright high. I begrudgingly fell in love with it after a week or two of carrying it with me.

My EDC usually is

* a Fauxton 22000mcd as in reply #1

* an UltraFire P10-R5 modded to XM-L U2 2.8A 3-mode (L/M/H) - in my opinion the most pocket frendly compact 18650 host.

Since a few weeks ago I carry my new DQG II R4 instead of the P10 though. It's summer, I don't need the light often and go to work with minimal equipment (phone, purse (small USB stick inside), light, keys) - usually no jacket, no bag, so only a few pockets to carry equipment.

Preon II Ti in my work shirt pocket

LD01 SS on my key ring

ZL SC600 in my right pants pocket

4sevens preon 2 in my work scrubs. Xeno E03 XML out of work.

Hi All,

I EDC an AKOray K-106, 5-mode, and a Solarforce L2T, 3-mode, XP-G drop-in as back-up near by.

AKOray around the house or close work, and the L2T outside or extended uses.

In my keychain I have just attached the minigear UML-300E, it is a 14500 single mode quite bright for its syze and water proof, it is 82.4mm long wich is not bad for a 14500, it is just a bit brighter than XENO in mid mode using 14500@1.4A

And in the car I am leaving the XENO E03 xm-l.

I received one yesterday and the other today, and to tell the truth I like both, they got nice outlook, and threads, Minigear is quite smaller and easier to carry but there are no modes nor AA compatibility.

Till now all flashlights I had were quite bigger than this ones so there was no possible EDC unless I had huge pockets for a TR1200 and things like that.

Nitcore D11.2 on Litium AA, not a budget product, but I love the low mode.

On my keychain: Photonlight Photon Rex LiIon rechargeable. An amaing light which can be recharged bu any 1.5V battery, solar charge or USB charge.

I've started to EDC 5-mode UF-2100. Fits nicely to my cargo pocket.

I EDC the N-Light B3 which is plenty bright enough usually. But sometimes when I feel like I might need more oomph and I wear baggier trousers I carry my Zebralight SC600.

I EDC a Fenix LD15. It's small and bright enough for my needs

a generic 2xAA cree light with max ouput of 40 lumen :p.

My cheapest/smallest light, bright enough for most purposes, my dry/kd C8 are bigger/heavier so i only carry these around when i go out at night.

My Spark SL6-740NW. I keep this thing on me at all times. I love this light. The only thing it is missing is a strobe mode. Other than that, it is perfect. I use it all of the time for work. I am terrified that something bad is going to happen to it there so I bought a 4Sevens Quark 1232 in neutral white to try out as a replacement.

UF-H2 around my neck, UF-2100 in my pocket, and a 16340 magnetic clipped to my belt loop.

At work , Sanrenmu 763 and ITP A3

At home , Enlan El02 and Uniquefire AA S-1

When fishing , Mora Clipper , BLF Tank on a neck lanyard , ITP SA2 in a belt holster , and a Panthereyes 1 mode LED cap . ( I fish at night )

While biking , Enlan EL02 , Trustfire F-15 ( on low ) and a Solarforce L2 with 3 mode ultrafire T6 ( on medium ) on the handlebars , AA S-1 in pocket .

Within easy reach at all times , a Leatherman and a Romisen RC-N3 R4 neutral with cr123 backup light .

And now , some Gratuitous Fish Porn .

The ITP A3 is always clipped to my belt loop and usually powered by 10440 LICOs, although it does quite well on AAAs or NiMH. I have the early model that first comes on in medium mode. (Modes: M-L-H). I much prefer this arrangement over the newer ones (L-M-H) which I gave away. The low is mostly a useless mode for my purposes, but its nice to know its available.

Updated UFH2 clipped to my upper jacket pocket. A 501A with a 4B XML 2.8 amp driver and bestinoe 18350 IMR pushing it along in the lower jacket pocket and a Black Cat clipped to my inside pants pocket.

This is my EDC, Brinyte PD03A HA-III

I never go out without it.

What? They're having sex? =P I've been switching between UF-H2 and BLF Tank E07, which I just keep in my pocket. Walking in a dark alley the extra throw of the E07 is great, but most of the time the pure smooth flood of the H2 is more useful. I wish it were NW though.
